Talked to a friend the other day who runs a small business. He's not a bitcoiner but I've talked to him about it here and there. He mentioned how much they have to pay in credit card fees, so naturally I brought up the ability to circumvent that using lightning. I showed him Zaprite and he seemed genuinely interested. At $25 per month for a Zaprite subscription, and assuming that you save 2% in fees and pass half of that savings back to the customer (i.e. you save 1%), you'd need to get $2,500 per month paid in Bitcoin. The conversation ended with "this doesn't quite make financial sense... yet" but I don't think it'll be long until it becomes a no-brainer for most small businesses, even if neither the business nor the customers care about Bitcoin.

Shill me sub-3k followers npubs that are active and interesting. No shills, no macro, TA, hypemen, NgU. Give me the poets, the lost souls.

I came across a "deleted account" in my follows, someone who started on nostr over a year ago but gave up just recently. In their last post they said they'd genuinely tried but it just wasn't working out for them. However, when I checked their stats on nostr.band the results were unsurprising. They were not actively using nostr. They posted maybe 1 note a day avg., never zapped anyone (publicly at least), and only followed ~200 accounts. That is not "genuinely trying" to use any social network, including nostr. You get out what you put in with most things in life, and nostr is no different. It's ok to be a passive lurker, but if that's all you put in then you probably won't get much out of it. If you want to find depth of experience here, be present and active, and engage with people in meaningful ways using the features of the network that allow you to do so. You will make or break your own #nostr experience.

They already have a setup to hqve a relay on your phone. And on amethyst i cwn hwve multiple accounts and go bwck and forth

Worth mentioning that the more people run relays the more decentralised and secure nostr becomes. If you understand why that is so important for money #bitcoin then you will understand why it is so important for social media #nostr

Day 2

I can see the potential, but I need to find my friends if this is going to work
