I tried it on Amethyst using Phoenix wallet.
Didn't work.
The error message said the invoice could have been paid already
There is little debate on how #ordinals impact on #fungibility.
The #bitcoin protocol doesn't enforce fungiblity. Bitcoins are fungible because we all agree that 1 sat = 1 sat.
By creating inscriptions some sats become more valuable than others
The idea that number of Zaps is the best metric for content-quality is absurd to me.
Many of histories greatest artists didn't seem to care about the economic value of their art.
Can you use that persons paid relays as well?
It is a type of note containing the receipt of a lightning payment. It can be used for fun or as a spam deterrent.
There is engineering trade-off between transparency and fungibility.
In bitcoin everyone can see how (many) sats flow between UTXO's. The ordinal trick assigns a unique number to each sat and breaks fungiblity. The fungiblity depends on social consensus and not on cryptography.
Monero has confidential transactions and breaks the ordinal trick. The amount of sats in UTXO's is blinded to the general public and the ordinals trick cannot be aplied.
However, it is incredibly hard to verify that no one is creating XMR out of thin air. A single inflation bug could go unnoticed.
This has the disadvantage that there is much bigger risk my speech is getting censored.
You are right.
Definitely worth 5000 sats
