Building Lightsats⚡ + Alby 🐝 A5EABD8835092B08 Who is John Galt?

You’re right. It won’t be necessary when NIP-57 is updated and clients implement the split natively https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/552

It uses https://github.com/getAlby/splitaddress - each post has a custom lightning address which splits and forwards the zaps to the tagged recipients ⚡️

In Thailand you can pay almost anywhere using QR codes using the "PromptPay" system. Super easy for Thais with Bank accounts. Difficult for tourists and foreigners.

Who is going to make the Lightning app which scans promptpay QR codes, accepts a lightning payment and does a promptpay payment on the payer's behalf?

Imagine how powerful that would be for the Thailand Bitcoin-only conference in July?

For the webln.enable() call? It seems to be (It doesn't match the current spec at https://www.webln.guide/building-lightning-apps/webln-reference/webln.enable). It isn't really necessary though since the enable call should reject if the user doesn't allow webln to be enabled

nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 could you have a look at https://github.com/WebBTC/webln-types and see if that will work for you? it's much more up to date.

Many issues stacking up on ZapPlanner, some of them are good for beginners! Want to contribute? https://github.com/getAlby/ZapPlanner/issues

Me and Adithya speaking about Lightning on the Web & Alby at LightningCon Vietnam https://youtu.be/K7o8eipPk_s

I will be speaking at 2 more conferences this year!

Hi Leonardo, thanks for testing ZapPlanner!

1. You can make multiple subscriptions, one for each recipient. Would you like to make multiple in one go? what is the purpose for this?

2. I think that can be added, I have added an issue on the repository (https://github.com/getAlby/ZapPlanner/issues). But note that ZapPlanner can't do nostr zaps because it cannot sign the zap request events without your nostr private key. So it's limited to standard lightning payments.

Lightsats ⚡️ is an official sponsor of Bitcoin Miami 2023! We’ll have a tip card in every single goodie bag for attendees and will be tipping up to 12M sats 💥

Very true on the affordability depending on the country. In some places it is different than others. However, if parents deeply want to home educate, they will find a way. It might be remote work, or some form of a business that gives them more time flexibility. It's often about scaling back the outgoings, taking a good hard look at budgets and learning to be a bit minimalist. 😉

I disagree that domain bias is an issue. All children need is to be able to read, write and understand basic maths. As parents, we don't need to know everything to teach our children because we have access to the internet. My kids can learn almost anything they want supported by what's available online or by meeting people IRL. This is the major flaw in institutional education. Kids don't need their heads stuffed with a curriculum determined by government experts. This is a very major flaw because it is heavily contributing to childrens deteriorating mental health and well being. Most teaching professionals are not asking, why do these children need to learn this for their adult life? 🤷‍♀️

Unschooling leverages our children's curiosity. They learn by watching YouTube and asking questions. They follow their interests and enjoy learning. For us, we are travelling the world. There is absolutely no way any classroom on the face of the earth could create learning experiences like we've given our children. And there is absolutely no way I would've met some of the most extraordinary people we've met by living there suburbia first world BS dream 💯

We are on one small/modest income, not much savings, we didn't own a house or have assets before we left. We left at the start of Covid with less than $20k usd. We've been travelling for over three years living in Vietnam, Turkey, Greece and Spain. I am a big believer that if parents fight for their limitations, they will get to keep them. If parents deeply want to create multifaceted, wild and free learning experiences, they need to work on their belief first and then go live it. For most families in the developed world, there are excuses and there are choices. 🧡

Many teachers come with a flawed belief that only an institution can give children a broad curriculum that they supposedly need. Yet majority of adults (except teachers) use next to nothing of what they learned in school. The majority of adults are in careers where they train (learn) new things. Very rarely does anything taught in school help anyone with a career or business (unless it is an exceptional school) 🤷‍♀️

I say to people, if I can teach my children in less than one hour per day more effectively than they could learn in a classroom, then what is the point (apart from glorified daycare)? If schools send home homework, that's a massive red flag that school isn't working. I say this because I pulled my eldest out of school at age 8 and he may as well never have gone to school. I started him from absolute scratch, one hour a day and I got to enjoy watching him learn with ease. I have four children and my 6 yo does less than 30 minutes a day but if he were to go to school he'd need to be in a classroom with the 8yos because he is too smart. There is absolutely no way a school could've taught him like this 💜

Sorry for the long reply. It's something I am super passionate about and I really enjoy empowering parents to take their power back, acknowledge their ability to educate their children and just go do it. 🔥

Looking to have kids in a few years, I know who to ask for advice!

I love receiving notifications of my automatic #[0] sats back for unclaimed tips with #[1]

Alby doesn't stop you adding extra tags, can you include an example zap note so I can have a look?

At the gym some guy came up to me and asked about deadlifting form. He said he’d sprained his hamstring and I gave him a few tips. Later he asked, are you living in the city? I said no. On my way to Vietnam 🇻🇳 for a conference. He said “oh cool! What about”? I say “Bitcoin”. He laughed and left immediately. We’re still early?
