Algorithms will be the downfall of Big Tech platforms.
The open protocol will rise π£β‘οΈ
The key will be to continue firmly drawing the distinction between centralized algorithmic *platforms* and decentralized open *protocols*.

If you think about it: Why would you ever hide your source code and algos from your users if not for shady business?
# β‘οΈ Nostr zaps - a guide π
Time to get you zappin' with LightningTipBot (https://ln.tips). This is my personal setup. There are other ways and services to do this. Do you own research. This is just a suggestion.
## 1) Set up LightningTipBot wallet
- Click here: https://LN.tips π
- You're done.
## 2) Sending zaps
Let's start with sending. You don't need much. Any Lightning wallet will do. I will describe how to use LightningTipBot to zap with.
### Sending zaps in the browser
- Get the Alby brower extension at https://getalby.com/
- Go to LightningTipBot and enter "/link"
- Copy the details and go to Alby and add a new "LNDHUB" wallet
- Enter your details
- Your LightningTipBot wallet can now be controlled from your browser
- Click on the β‘οΈ zap icon for example in iris.to and you'll be able to send zaps.
### Sending zaps on mobile
- You can also "/link" your wallet to BlueWallet
- Get BlueWallet from the App store
- Import a new Lightning wallet
- Enter your credentials from LightningTipBot
- You can now control your LightningTipBot wallet from Bluewallet
- Click the β‘οΈ zap icon for example in Amethyst or Damus and open BlueWallet.
- Pay and zap on
## 3) Receiving zaps
You can receive zaps with pretty much any Lightning address provider. There are many options. See: https://lightningaddress.com/
However, if you want the zaps to appear under your posts in Damus or Snort.social, you'll have a few less options (still). Here is how to do it with LightningTipBot:
- Go to LightningTipBot. Enter "/help" if you don't know your Lightning address.
- See your address? Mine is callebtc@ln.tips
- Optional: Enter "/advanced" to get an anonymous address if you don't want to doxx your Telegram username.
- Put your Lightning address into your nostr profile
- In LightningTipBot, register your nostr pubkey with "/nostr add
- You're done! You'll receive zaps and they will be shown under your zapped posts!
## 3) NIP-57 support
Zaps (those which appear under a note) are formalized in NIP-57. Currently, they are supported by the following services. This is probably not a complete list and tomorrow there might be even more:
### π Sending (Nostr clients):
- Snort.social (https://snort.social/)
- Damus (http://damus.io/)
### β‘οΈ Receiving (Lightning wallets):
- LightningTipBot (https://LN.tips)
- VIDA (https://vida.live/)
- Stacker.news (https://stacker.news/)
- strike.army (https://strike.army/)

Ask him about his opinions about anonymity when hes here.
Nostr will have its own eternal september moment sooner or later. I dont think we can anticipate what total permissionlessnes implicates. Wait for the first media hype. It will be face melting.
Holds a bit too much anti-USA bias for my taste, but I'm so excited to share a controversial article without getting banned.

On nostr i can finally say that the mRNA vax probably contained lizzard DNA without the fear or being banned.
The interesting thing about this is that their disdain is purely instinctual. They hate it without fully understanding it. The first thing they think if they hear about something is how to control it. Since Bitcoin does not have an office they can visit or some gremium they can sit on they react negatively to it.
If you're browsing nostr right now its safe to assume that you are european, rigt? Euro power hour starts now!
I think at this point its not only a matter of personaties choosing platforms but also about platforms shaping personalities. Im looking forward to the kinds of online personas nostr will shape.
#[0] , any plans for being able to manage multiple nostr keys?
Lets see what happens when private addresses of politicians and journalists start showing up on nostr.
Haven't you forgot to ask for someone's permission? Are you even allowed to do that?
