More Damus Drama hahaha! It’s true that it’s story is quite the rollercoaster. This is good for #nostr : it’s being talked about a lot! We should call it Dramus 😆
Zaps are powerful because we're using them to build a value for value economy. The fact that Zaps are bitcoin makes them that much more potent. Apple recognizes that Zaps are money and that's incredibly bullish for all of us.
No company can take Zaps away from you because Nostr and Bitcoin are censorship resistant. When one method of Zapping falls, another rises from the ashes like a phoenix to take it's place.
We're still here. We're still Zapping.
We understand that Zaps are not sales transactions for digital content. Our notes and events or Nostr are not for sale. They are for consuming. The content exists without the Zap. The content can be consumed without the Zap. It's up the the content consumer to decide if they want to Zap the creator. This makes Zaps a combination of feedback, tipping, and donations all wrapped into one little lightning bolt emoji.
Someone asked me today if I was concerned about the recent news. I am not concerned. At all. If I was an iOS user, I might feel a little deflated, but I'd know that either I'd find another way or that nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s would find a suitable workaround for us. It's business as usual here on Nostr. We have Zaps to send. We're working on our 1 millionth Zap. And, I've never more more bullish.
🫂 these are nice and appeasing words. The digital world is maturing.
I have the same thoughts. My BlueWallet time is counted... Time for a cold wallet.
What's next? Are we at the dawn of a resistance flow against web3 related apps by tech giants?
Tech giants are afraid of web3. What Apple is doing to nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 is the expression of their resistance. But in the end, the people will free themselves from digital custody.
Nobody has to know what happens behind a « like »
Why not take the zap and invoicing workflows to the relay level nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 ?
Would this mean the end of non custodial wallets on iOS then?
Time to start experimenting moving from macOS to Linux and from iPhone to android. In case apple makes no move with nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 , this will seriously make me reconsider my loyalty to the brand.
For a company that advocates freedom, privacy and diversity, this is seriously wrong.
There is a war in the works and consumers have power when they act on principles!
Take the zapping workflow at the relay level maybe?
How about taking the zapping workflow at the relay level?
Time to introduce likz!
Remove zaps, introduce likz 🫂🤙✊💜
Time for a btc funded lawsuit! Post those invoices.
It’s got to be more than just money. They’re validated at what, 1000+ billions?
It’s because of nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m‘s interview, isn’t it?!
Long live Damus. Long live #nostr
Oh did I miss it? Which interview?
What are their motivations
Behind this control?
No thank you! It’s nice to get the stories along with your photos. You help me discover parts of my homeland that I did not event know ☺️
