Generally game devs do not benefit by debasing the ingame currency, since that would make the game worse. They spend lots of time trying to bandaid fix inflation issues caused by gold drop money printing systems.
making it sats implies there’s ways to get them in and out or transfer them between players. Once it’s on bitcoin then you can bring money from the real world to buy more resources in game.
Thats like saying every ingame currency is a shitcoin. Noone is investing money into this. Its just a smart accounting system to try to fix the inflation issue
Depends on what you’re trying to achieve. Making everything sats would make the game pay-to-win, which puts off 98% of gamers.
If you tied it directly to bitcoin saylor or whales could completely break the game. Maybe bitcoin backed ecash or something
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s EVE Online have built a very successful in-game economy. They even have economists on staff just for that purpose.
I heard there is tons of inflation in that, i could never get into it so im not sure

👀 whos got the link
Imagine if the government let people use the money printer but they had to keep pressing a button over and over to print each dollar. People would or course make a machine to press the button for them (bots). The issue is probably the money printer and less the bots. But how to reward players without printing stuff? Hard problem.
Albion has a cool system called the black market where you sell stuff to mobs loot tables. Maybe thats a part of it.
bitcoin backed ingame currency has been something i have been thinking about for a good 13 years now. I’ve always wondered how I could make that work without making it pay to win.
This was my original opinion until i watched 99% of damus users using custodial lighting wallets which are strictly worse. Now i think they could be used to move people off those with an upgrade path to self custodied ln.
No mmo has ever created a successful ingame economy because the game prints money when you kill monsters and it eventually undergoes hyperinflation. They end up resorting to huge gold/item sinks and price controls to try to fix it.
Sounds familiar … 🤔
maybe design “gold” systems with scarcity in mind. I haven’t found a game that does this right.
That will be good. I made this one: https://github.com/fiatjaf/gitstr
It's somewhat cumbersome to use, but it's probably already nicer than browsing through GitHub pull requests.
awesome. way less jankier than the script i had
should be easy to do. We store the word position in the index. So phrase searches would be just as fast.
Very cool new feature from nostr:npub16amr0pgqzl8l57npcupjmv8j3055042g07w4qj4tu3zf4yd48nlsh96569 :
Muted words, mute durations 
Oops, not sure how uploaded got messed up there

nostr:npub16amr0pgqzl8l57npcupjmv8j3055042g07w4qj4tu3zf4yd48nlsh96569 bug, these should not be picked up when muting etf. We actually already parse words as they are in the fulltext index. I could add a “note_has_word” function relatively easily.
Still shows up in notifications nostr:npub16amr0pgqzl8l57npcupjmv8j3055042g07w4qj4tu3zf4yd48nlsh96569 :(
Oh nm
But yes we can filter them out using markers, but clients should be doing the right thing here and not wasting peoples bandwidth by using q tags
super easy to do this with wireguard as well. I use my home network as a VPN this way.
Instead of elliott just playing video games, i’m trying out #habitica for gamifying chores and learning tasks. For example: finish a page of worksheet, get xp. Never seen him so excited to read a book and clean his room 😅 
You can even redeem Cashu tokens from Damus directly to the Lightning address of the user with a couples lines of code: https://gist.github.com/callebtc/8a1ac07e8676e702eef8fd2583bd5835
Perfect, so this + https://github.com/Kodylow/hermes 🤔
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s This man is wondering about zapraisers on Damus .
zapraisers were my idea and i can’t implement them in damus because it apple 😕
Definitely in the android version
I may remove it because its too confusing. It filters dms and notifications to only people you follow
Since you are using Phoenix, how big was your initial inbound transaction? That would limit the amount of sats you can receive in total
Gatsby party 🍾 
Push the build nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s !! We want the NIPs!
I will soon but im currently tripping on mushrooms
yeah I did too, but revisiting it again just because its impossible to get rid of jitter in LazyVStacks with variable heights.
The other alternative is to use uicollectionview, but i heard thats a nightmare as well in swiftui
We started really getting into it when he turned 6-7. First time he started to learn wasd + mouse movement. We have a local server on the network, works great.
Yes nostur is doing the right thing here, a lot of this stuff is easier with a local database which is why he was smart to start with that. I’m playing catchup… and decided to write my own db from scratch for some reason 😅 but I think the results will be worth it
Imagine if mr beast tapped into bitcoin value for value. He could make millions easy nostr:note16jam4rzad39edd4eqh2vmngqwhnagtyhucg5vtk56mxmmc8jkx3qgdn5v0
Thanks! 🙏
the bitcoin board is different than the nostr board? Your statement is 100% false, I know at least 4 people on the nostr board doing or funding nostr stuff.
almost everyone, I don’t know everyone on the board but 90% of those I know that statement is true. The board is set up to make biases like this less of a concern but it doesn’t make me feel that much better. Again, going forward I just don’t think its setup for what im trying to do, I mean one board member has already explicitly told me this.
opensats is designed to do just that. They said my project doesn’t fit their model, and me hiring someone was not expected because they want to fund developers not projects, so it’s effectively impossible to scale dev using opensats.
Zap splits scales with economic activity, so then I would be incentivized to increase commerce on nostr, which would create a feedback cycle. Thats the only thing I can think of that would scale well.
. nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 has a lot of awesome nostr projects that don’t get enough attention:
- khatru: super modular relay library. Can be used to build lots of cool relay experients such as https://pyramid.fiatjaf.com
- Eventstore: an abstraction around nostr databases, one backend is very similar to nostrdb/lmdb called badger https://github.com/fiatjaf/eventstore
- njump: cool static note renderer that uses eventstore as its database https://github.com/fiatjaf/njump
- Nostr-tools: the swiss army knife of nostr javascript libraries https://github.com/nbd-wtf/nostr-tools
- Nak: command line tool for creating nostr events and bech32 nostr objects (nevent, nprofile) https://github.com/fiatjaf/nak
- wikistr: a wikipedia-style nostr client https://github.com/fiatjaf/wikistr
he doesn’t always like being in the spotlight but the work he does is some of the most important for the overall health of the protocol. thank you fiatjaf! Excited for what’s in store for next year 🎉

Mostly Canadians happily parroted “freedumb” during the trucker convoy. They are fully domesticated.
I think this is an Amethyst bug nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z
he should just use imeta like everyone else
Canada forces companies to censor news unless it’s from pre-approved sources, apparently that includes entire countries.
This started happening when there was a surge of non-government funded media which was getting more attention and saying not so nice things about trudeau.
His ideas are so bad he has to give billions of printed and stolen dollars from the pre-approved CBC just so they can say how awesome he is. It’s literally their job to say nice things about him otherwise they would lose funding.
This country is a clown show.
This is why we need nostr.
