Can someone zap me 1 sat? I'm testing something.

Agreed.

Could someone tell me how to find/get a short LN address on Zeus?

Bitcoin isn't for everybody. Only the sexy people.

Yeah, It's just something neat to have on my desk.

Look at me, I'm "mining".

Which internet browsers work with the Alby (@getAlby) payments extension?

According to project creator Michael Bumann (nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x), every browser that’s built from Chromium and Firefox should work. Unfortunately, Safari is not supported.

Heating the yurt with an S9 running on excess solar power

https://v.nostr.build/zeGd.mp4

There are no guests staying in the yurt today so I'm using it as an office to polish up my presentation for the SWMI bitcoin meetup tonight.

The sun is shining and the batteries are charged so I plugged in my mobile S9 space heater to take the chill out of the air from the night before. Batteries at 27v, panels making 800w of power and the miner is set to 500w. Good for about 6 terahash of free heat directly into the yurt thanks to the sun. Doing my part to keep the network decentralized and transactions time stamped all while getting 500w of heat out of the deal.

I also have a miner dehydrating squash seeds and simultaneously heating my house as well as a miner drying my laundry. Max hashing!

I would say that I need to step up my game but it appears that I'm not even playing. This stuff is brilliant!

I hope for the best

I prepare for the worst

And I accept what comes

And liquor. A good drink always helps.

This is the beauty of #zapvertising

For the first time, YOU can determine the value of your attention, and receive 100% of the money spent by the #zapvertiser

This will force would-be spammers to nut up or shut up (i.e. zap higher amounts) if they want you to see their message (I just wanted to say “nut up” because of Calle 🥜)

Also, as nostr:npub1hu3hdctm5nkzd8gslnyedfr5ddz3z547jqcl5j88g4fame2jd08qh6h8nh and I outlined at nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r , it does not behoove would-be advertisers to spam low-sat zaps… depending on how your #nostr client shows zaps comments, it is in your best interest to zap higher amounts to compete in the free market of attention and be seen by more than just the zap recipient.

But there is another reason to zap higher sat amounts that has nothing to do with how your nostr client shows zaps…

Spamming low-value #zaps (1 or 2 sats) is a sure-fire way to piss people off (which we are seeing now). That’s why I *always* zap #696 or more (every zap I send is a zapvertisement).

By spamming low-value zaps you are signaling to the market that the value you place on attention is low — you are casting a broad net, sure, but you are failing to build a deep moat.

On the flip side, to play Devil’s Advocate, if you are currently annoyed by by 1 or 2 sent #zapvertisement spamming, I would remind you that it is 1 or 2 sats more than you will ever get on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or Tik Tok for viewing an ad. And when #bitcoin reaches sat-cent parity, you might view that spam differently.

That said, if you are going to zapvertise, I would recommend you do so with a few hundred sats at least.

Show people that YOU value THEIR attention. When I get a low-value zap message I disregard it because the zapper has already signaled to me how they value my attention, and I personally value my attention much more than 1 sat.

Do you think the content you’re zapvertising is valuable? Good, then prove it by showing the recipient that you value their attention enough to attach a monetary premium to it.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk. nostr:note1ym0p4qlswhkhxfz5wqs23j5rrkuc6zlgn0z0kw3xxlmzvjsfv3sqzs5hqa

I get so many 1 sat zaps that I don't even open them to see who sent them anymore.
