I’m excited to announce the launch of $prism.
Nostr is many things, but most importantly, I believe that Nostr is Bitcoin’s first layer three technology. Bitcoin solves money, Lightning solves payments and Nostr solves identity and coordination. Similar to the Bitcoin and Lightning protocols, the Nostr protocol is permissionless and decentralized.
Nostr solves identity using a simple public key that works across any client. Nostr solves coordination by directly connecting Lightning wallets without intermediaries via Nostr wallet connect (“NWC”) and Lightning address (or ideally a future Nostr native equivalent).
There will be many incredible bitcoin experiences built with Nostr. We are making prisms.
Lightning prisms without Nostr are hard to coordinate and execute. It requires figuring out each address, a way to coordinate payout amounts, and someone taking custody of the bitcoin for a period of time to manage payouts. So we’ve seen almost no one making prisms.
Now with Nostr, they are incredibly easy. Want to create a prism on Nostr right now? Type $boost into the text of your next post on any client and we’ll make a prism with the first 10 people that repost it. We’ll post the prism on nostr:npub12u7xgzak939jlap3fnev05eky6d4ntwr4lrs03kgnnfd9njmtvrsr9jjmt and you can zap it with any client that supports zap splits like Snort.social or Amethyst. Want to limit your prism to a smaller group of people? Create a listr on listr.lol like #friends and type $boost #friends. We’ll only create a prism with users that boost your post and are on your #friends list.
With NWC, payments all complete wallet to wallet, no intermediary necessary and we never touch your bitcoin. The possibilities are now endless for building new consumer experiences on top of Lightning and Bitcoin.
We started $prism to push forward the bitcoin experience on Nostr. We’ll be launching more prism products over the coming days. Follow nostr:npub1arcweuxy0zkdcg08sljh058qp02ytrgnpzh4csa3ar42szyfgrpsw6ggtw or go to https://makeprisms.com to learn more.

That does work for some people!
If I sell something for 10k sats and only receive 8k sats, how does that make sense?
I paid a 10k invoice to myself and only received 8k sats
Phoenix wallet makes the receiver take the hit on the fee instead of charging the sender a fee? Am I seeing this right? Who uses Phoenix and can confirm this? Shouldn't the receiver always get the full amount??? Otherwise seems highly regarded
Here is my error when trying to connect Phoenix to my node. nostr:npub17777777tpz9x2dcvvlw37sgk5gmpffexl0u30gjjgcd59ty92vrs0atnu0 nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj nostr:npub1337xxyne0pw52zgd984xqqs2q7qhqpt7phhn7xp6t9yt406vrvescdpkdt
Has anyone been able to connect Phoenix to their node? I'm having trouble
Good reply haha. They have no answer. They create problems that don't exist
But Phoenix has a setting to enable tor....
Longs and shorts rekt all day every day. Will people ever learn? Serious question

I created Bitcoin Education playing cards and Bitcoiners around the world love them. I'd appreciate a share to get the word out. Payment in sats preferred. Peace and love 🧡⚡$boost
I got the tor name from Electrs on Umbrel. Could it be wrong? Or am I not understanding what you are saying
Whose fault is this?
Not everything is a psyop. One of the downsides of the laser eyed bird app echo chamber. Can't believe I just said that, but it's true
