Yes agreed I see huge potential for someone to disrupt that area and to offer better incentives for those reading and leaving the reviews. Even incorporating businesses into would be easy offering rewards and so on easily with lightning. Exciting times ahead!
Not a coder/designer and don’t have a project but I’d love to see someone replace Google reviews with a new system with better incentives that rewards those leaving the reviews instead of building a review platform for Google. Is there anything like this out there?
Done 420 zapped enjoy and welcome 🙏
Seeing more and more solid content on #nostr being so early and so new this gives me a huge amount of hope for the future of decentralised social media and a world with better incentives ❤️

I’ve just started using #Plebstr app and it’s a way better experience on mobile. Desktop for now seems to be iris. Since using plebstr the experience has been far more enjoyable. As apps are released and peoples ideas spread and come to fruition the user experience will keep getting better. The development so far has been mind blowing!
So nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx gave an absolute masterclass on the problems with Musk's current Twitter approach on WBD, starting at the 17m mark. It's a great advertisement for Nostr and I recommend everyone watch it.

I've been retweeting or reposting Odell's various observations on this topic for a while and so I'm happy to share this too, including on Twitter today, even as a filthy blue-check myself.
Where I disagree with Odell (slightly) is on tactics. He thinks people should give up blue checks in protest. And that's a very fair position. I don't disagree, especially for someone like Odell with a purist position and a generally cypherpunk audience.
But I think there are multiple successful paths on this. I have always been a Twitter fan, and my normie audience is there. I wanted to be able to pay for better UX and anti-impersonation defenses for years before they became available. Just because Musk is running it doesn't mean I won't pay for helpful services, especially if they protect my audience. Real people lose money to Lyn Alden impersonation scams if they can't tell my account from others, and I directly hear from them when it happens. It's always heartbreaking.
So, I'm on the offensive, not the defensive. The way I view it, unless or until someone censors me on Twitter, they're locked in there with me, rather than me being locked in there with them. If having a blue check reduces the success rate of impersonation scams and amplifies my reach at calling out Twitter's problems, I'll have the blue check. What I absolutely *won't* do is change what I say based on a blue check. If anything, I purposely overdo it to the opposite and exaggerate my criticisms on purpose to push back against platform incentives.
Two simultaneous approaches:
1) Call out the problem on Twitter. Don't give Musk a pass. Point out that a pro-freedom, pro-anonymity view doesn't match with what is going on there. Don't let his rhetoric disguise his inaction. If Twitter cares about freedom and anonymity then they will offer a paid option that doesn't require identity (e.g. the "orange check" bitcoin payment.) Until something like that, they are LARPing and are fair to criticize as such.
2) Have your foot here on Nostr and on decentralization technologies generally. In the long run, I think this is the future. And more importantly, I hope it is.
#Nostr is the future! nostr:note1h34nqcvxexcu335d9vx86emrdp7vhj46zskkj7805hkjkl3wc6ps3urhxr
There’s a few ways around this. Send your funds in and out of liquid then send some over to self custody on your own lightning node and spend with lightning. There’s no need to give people the address of your main stack if you don’t want to. Sure it’s a work around at present but over time it’ll become easier and easier. These things take time but saying that the pace of development is unreal in my mind. And Nostr and zaps are the icing on the cake. You can top up lightning channels using liquid atomic swaps.
Not that I know of maybe reach out on Twitter. I think once people understand they can be earning zaps for their content they’ll be straight over here!
Please setup a wallet so we can reward this amazing idea.
Brilliant idea!! I love this app and the developers and development is mind blowing to watch! Thanks all 🙏 nostr:note1sku9sm5swl78maqnnjvsan8uewz2ph6xhc5s2e8rx0wh3c3m2m4syvnhe6
Welcome onboard the freedom ship where you can express what you want without fear of censorship!
I can’t see anyway if zapping you? Setup a lightning wallet and then add it to your profile. Shoutout if you need any help.

I’m so lazy I’m thinking of running the damus merch store via stateless and serverless lightning payment links. All data is collected and stored in the lightning invoice descriptions which are fetched from your node. You can do this without having to run any server code except a lightning node!
This is the same tech we used when selling merch as at bitcoin Miami. It was extremely reliable. I love these things, they are so easy. Integrating with the legacy fiat system is such a pita, It may just be a lightning-only store for now because of how simple this is. Here's what a lightning payment link looks like:
## How it works
The entire product page is stored as data in the url. When a customer click the link, the product info is decoded and rendered as a webpage. The data in the url includes
- The product name
- Description
- Price in sats
- Product image url
- Fields to collect data from the user
- Lightning node address
- Lightning node rune for fetching and waiting for invoice payments
This works thanks to a javascript library I created called "lnsocket". It allows you to connect to your CLN node over websockets. Once the user fills out all of the info, a new lightning invoice is fetched with this information in the description, by connecting directly to your node. This connection is end-to-end encrypted thanks to the lightning protocol itself.
To your lightning node, it looks like another lightning node is connecting to it, but in reality it's just a dumb client asking for things.
At this point, custom lightning packets called "commando" packets are sent to your node which asks your node to run certain commands. CLN authenticates these packets using the rune and then returns a response. This is pretty much the same as calling these commands directly on your lightning node, except now someone is doing it from a browser in a secure way!
## Why not just run btcpayserver?
btcpayserver is cool and is more powerful, but I like exploring simpler ways to do things that don't require running lots of software which can be challenging for many non-technical people. You shouldn't have to become a server administrator to start accepting payments. It should be as simple as running a bitcoin and lightning node, pushing all of the application logic to the clients.
This is a similar philosophy to what we have in the nostr space. Let's make it easier for people to use self-sovereign tools. Everyone deserves freedom tech.
Anyways, I'm still working on https://lnlink.org. I just added images and nostr address support! You can make your own payment links here! Try it out:
Amazing work 🙏
Quote of the day “Twitter has this new feature where if there’s a blue check you know for sure they’ve been compromised” nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx spitting 🔥 on What Bitcoin Did which I wasn’t able to tag for some reason? I would have thought they’d be on Nostr supporting decentralised social media?
Head to 1:36 to verify
We just left Napoli, Ponza and Amalfi after sailing down from Porto Fino. If you can be sure to rent a Gozzo for a day and to spend it swimming and cruising around Capri. It’s the only way to see the Island and the Amalfi coast. Hit me up if you need a contact!!
