🙋🏻 How do I apply?
If you’re building a self-funded video-game that has or is planning to integrate lightning OR features Bitcoin as a main theme of your game then you can apply!
---
❓ Why bitcoin video-games?
Current video-games limit how players can earn and interact in the game. The players are the product!
This is because they lack an internet-native currency that can enable in-game economies through micro-transactions.
Bitcoin fixes this.
---
🎊 Lightning fix this
Lightning enables micro-transactions, instant payments, programmability, and is a bearer asset.
Gaming is a no-brainer use case to raise Bitcoin awareness and education to players around the world.

Any ideas #[2] ?
Thankful for every pleb who wrote to me: "I finally understood Cashu" as feedback to the episode at WBD with nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx
You've seen the nut 🥜😎
Great job, really nice explainer! It finally clicked for me
Not seen this before 😂
Side project of the side project 😂
Do you ever sleep #[0] ?
Who else buys a domain name before they even start the project?
I just thought of the perfect names

Could be soon. We are testing our Breez SDK/Greenlight integration right now and have been given the “green light” to release in May.
Exactly! I’m thinking you can basically zap/lnurl-pay a charge point to start a charge. Can be either prepay or streaming via Satimoto. Charge point state could be advertised via nip-33 replaceable events. Could DM session state or prompt to extent the charge session.
Thinking a lot about an open source
OCPI <-> #nostr <-> OCPP
interface to allow anyone with a home/private charge point to accept lightning payments. It could interface with Satimoto also via OCPI to be available in our app.
Awesome. With testing I’ll ping you again when v0.4.4 is out. For the project I’ll get an outline written down first on GitHub maybe.
Hey thanks! Are you able to test in Europe?
I also have an ev/lightning/nostr open source project idea brewing if you’re interested.
60652 charge points listed! We have a lot of testing to do…
Release v0.4.4 should be out any day now with Breez SDK/Greenlight backend support, no graph syncing, better battery life, fast channel opening and improved payment routing.
There’s nothing like spending a Sunday evening rebuilding your yarn dependencies.
Switching to `npm` works but I’m unable to link local modules as it symlinks them.
Was I stupid to think `yarn` would give me reproducible dependencies?
I guess so

It’s bouncing between blocks on #[1] like a hot potato
Godspeed my little unconfirmed transaction, you have a long journey ahead of you.
