Do you think a corporation would do anything to get an extra 1% return on their next quarterly report? Would they do things that hurt them in the long-term just so this quarter looked good? Make their products worse for a quick buck? Fuck over their long-term employees they spent years training? Skimp on quality and safety? Yes. They absolutely would. Corporations pay 3-5% on credit card fees and wait weeks for settlement. Lightning is <1% and it's instant. It's that simple. That's why #Bitcoin #lightning is going to win in the long run.
It's the same reason the food cart down the street takes venmo: because, at one time, venmo was free. It's not free now though, because it couldn't be sustainably free, because nothing is free, and because venmo has every incentive to suck every dollar of profit out of those transactions it can. They have a captive audience. Lightning doesn't work that way. Liquidity providers, nodes, etc they all have to compete for your payment, so over time, fees get lower, not higher. Venmo isn't growing in adoption any more among merchants, lightning is.
I'm telling you that it literally does run at full CPU all the time, in the background, while the screen is off. That is literally the point of this application. I run this app on several Androids and my phone isn't a fluke, tens of thousands of people use BOINC to donate computational power to scientific research. I don't doubt that it difficult to this on Android, I'm just saying I have clear evidence that it's not impossible. Here's the combined computational power on a graph. https://www.boincstats.com/stats/-1/host/breakdown/os/0/0/1000
Or here's another app, that does the exact same thing, though I have less experience with it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.com.vodafone.dreamlabapp&hl=en_US
It has no special permissions. It's been out for many years, tens of thousands of people run it, it's OSS if somebody wants to use the code for a wallet.
I see a zap button on your note but can't zap you for some reason. Just letting you know in case that's not deliberate.
Good points. They started from zero on all their other platforms. And this platform makes it easier to start from zero than the others, so we will breed the next batch of creators.
I think you are pasting in an ln invoice address not an LNURL. LNURLs are in the format like this: makeasnek@zeuspay.com (my lnurl). I'm not sure if muun supports it.
If you go in Zeus to settings -> lightning address, you can get one there. Sorry I can be of more help on the muun end I've never used it, maybe somebody else can help though
Keep doing it. This is how we win. One adoption at a time.
All storage media eventually fail. Multiple copies and regularly checking them/making new copies is the only solution.
What nostr client? I use zeus and got a self-custody lightning address, super simple.
They legitimately do not know about it. Every time you engage with a content creator, mention that you *would have* tipped them if they were on nostr. This thing is gonna blow up when content creators realize they can make money here. The psychology of leaving a 10c tip is completely different from a $5 patreon subscription and once content creators start to feel that, nostr will take off.
Exactly why I kept my accounts on those other platforms. Every month or so I post some new thing saying "nostr is better and here's why"
A basic suggestion algorithm is pretty simple, it just needs to be made and integrated into clients.
Crazy idea for nostr to add to an existing app. Automatically run a private relay which advertises itself to people on your follow list and allows them to publish to it (text notes only). Nobody else can publish to it. Even an android phone running nostr can store millions of text notes before storage capacity becomes an issue. This would increase decentralization and censorship resistance massively and make it more likely your notes successfully get stored long term. Thoughts? #asknostr
More for syncing a folder between your phone and other devices. Like Dropbox, but self-hosted freedom tech.
If you want sync ability, syncthing is an awesome tool, but not a file manager.
> Does a client push a note to relays after the initial publication? I don't think it does.
I know of no client that does this, but it can be made when/if this becomes a problem.
> So that means at some point, the older notes and other stuff will start to disappear from the internet unless permanent storage is incentivised in some ways.
Yes, true of all human knowledge and output.
>The question is, how do we do that? Because most of the relays are offering their services for free. For how long they would provide this service for free with the incremental cost of storage?
I know of no solution that will work on an infinite timescale. However, notes themselves, if only text, are incredibly cheap to store. The phone in your pocket can easily store millions of them. Media is a bigger issue.
BOINC absolutely isn't, it's an app that runs 100% of CPU 100% of the time.
Sure, but again, they have it figured out. BOINC for example, I know for certain is running in the background on one of my phones. I don't touch it for days or weeks and it's still computing and sending workunits back to the server. Zeus also has an always-on LND option though I've found it less reliable with this option enabled.
The notes would disappear unless the client which created them continues to push them to relays. Clients can store notes locally, or on relays, if the relay allows it.
