Nostr is nowhere near as active as it was last year. But whenever I open it, I feel the potential it has. It runs smoother and the content is still high signal. It’s going to get better and better. One day it’ll get massive adoption. This must be what it felt like to be in Bitcoin early. Sitting on a gem that the world still hasn’t even heard of yet.

Because it works and is conveniently on my phone

Are you washing your KYC #bitcoin, anon? nostr:note1nyuc668uhs3y0ukw4ll7wh2phcrwxq9wkz4p4uc6ydd3u45lnlrspjszze

Zeus node in da phone uses zaplocker.

So when I get zapped it waits in the zaplocker for up to 24 hours or till I open the app & accept the zap.

Thoughts???

I think it's a proper assumption that majority of the people on Nostr are relatively intelligent right?

Surely there is a barrier to entry if we are using this tech.

I know we create our algos, but the feeds I have gravitated torward have been remarkable so far.

If I went to a bank with a business plan, that is essentially the same as MSTR's, (It's clearly working). Would they give me billions and billions of pounds to buy #Bitcoin🤔. If not, why not🤷🏻‍♂️.

It's interesting that people feel that if you don't have a bunch of #bugs and #vulnerabilities to fix (and/or introduce) every month, that your project must be dead.

What's sad about this is that many projects have dozens, hundreds or even thousands of #dependencies, and for those, they're almost certainly right. They do need constant

#updates.

You can store them dry and they provide lots of protein, during wartime, just as an example.

The struggle is real.

At the moment, for "normal euro/dollar" businesses, yes, I'd use fiat for pricing. It's making less and less sense to bother with fiat, in more and more countries, tho.

What might make sense, is to start normalizing the sight of Satoshi, by listing the Satoshi-equivalent on your bills and price tags, so that people start to get a feel for what things cost. Sort of the way they listed EUR/DM, prior to introducing the Euro 💶 . Would also allow people to compare prices, better, across the various currency regions.

A benefit of pricing your own stuff in-house, in satoshis, is that you then can display the fiat-price equivalent for each country you supply to, by calculating their fiat-price for that day. Then your in-house satoshi price is set by your own costs, and they deal with the fiat fluctuations on their end. Or pay you in satoshi.

I'd also offer a discount for payment in Satoshi, since they're actually doing the producer/provider a favor. Like, a 5% discount.

Well, as long as euro prices are highly stable and Bitcoin stagnates. If they start euro stimmies again, all bets are off.

We like pricing in sats because we're offering a service to people who want to get a Bitcoin economy going. As much fun as it is to zap each other, it's more exciting to move larger sums. Feels more significant and it's a harder test.

The fee-advantage of lightning tends to thin out, once you get over 100 euros, or so. I had to use Phoenix to accept payment, at one point, cuz channelz ain't channeling, and the fees were higher than on-chain. 😬 On the other hand, on-chain can be sorta slow. Didn't show up, confirmed, until hours later.

Another thing that comes up, in a real-life situation, is that one person can collect cash euros (rounded up, to cover fees) from multiple people and then send the sum of the payments on-chain or over Lightning. I thought that was a clever work-around, for bad internet connections or whatever. Combine the two cash monies.

Any success or horror stories to report when it comes to migrating to BTCPay Server 2.0?
