Which hat would you wear?

“You, therefore, have to get rid of the sensation that there is you the thinker watching the thoughts, you the feeler separate from and trying to control the feelings. Because so long as that separation exists you’ll have trouble.”

— Alan Watts

The last Muslim king of Spain, Muhammad XII surrendered the keys of Andalus, January 2, 1492, ending almost 800 years of Islamic rule of Spain.

As he was expelled, he looked back at the city of Granada and wept!

His mother said:

"𝗖𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗻."

it's "dollars ain't shit" which makes it a pretty strong statement that something is wrong with money

I feel dirty every time I open X and I don’t mean that in a good way.

Going on my first podcast ever in a few minutes 😬

1) To add NIP-57 to your Nostr experience (unless you mean something different) you need a client that supports it and a wallet that supports it. Clients: Damus (TestFlight version only at the moment), Amethyst, Snort, Iris support it, maybe more. Wallets: LN.tips, WoS, Strike.army, Vida.page and some others support it. Note that this is for your receiving wallet. Any lightning wallet can pay a zap invoice.

2) The difference is that without NIP-57 a lightning tip is mostly an external thing from nostr. With NIP-57, the tip becomes more integrated with the Nostr experience. With NIP-57, when someone pressed the tip button on one of your posts or your profile, your Nostr client sends a zap request to your receiving wallet. The wallet returns a bolt11 invoice that can be paid by any lightning wallet. Once the invoice is paid the wallet returns a zap note, which is itself a Nostr event (kind 9735, I believe). Since it’s a Nostr event it can be integrated into your client UX. This can be in the form of in-app tip notifications, a tally of all tips sent on a particular post, a list on your profile of who has tipped you, etc.

Basically it turns lightning tips that originate from Nostr clients into Nostr events that can be shown in various ways in client UX.
