The problem is that the people here expect a miracle. They want a safer city but demand less police and prosecutions. Not realistic.

Ran into this gem in my photo gallery.

Bluesky is now giving out invites πŸ€™

If I'm normal, what does that make everyone else? πŸ‘€

Im really curious to see how it's monetized. Devs and relay operators deserve compensation. The more it grows the more expensive it'll be to operate. Then you'll have the crazies complaining over the $1 they paid for a relay.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Most merchants with the exception of maybe gas stations don't offer a discount for cash purchases. Therefore if something is priced at $10 - I only pay $10 whether I use cash or credit. If I use a credit card, the merchant covers the fee. It definitely is not cheaper if I use any crypto currency or network. At least not yet.

Throwing out a crazy idea. Nostr conference in the US. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²πŸ€™

You make a good point with credit card settlements. But those affect the merchant and not me as a consumer. In fact, it benefits me more to have protections against fraud. So no transaction fee, instant payment, and fraud protections. Not really swaying me. Then the merchant has to liquidate all the BTC so he can pay his employees.

Don't get me wrong. I'm all for crypto. I'm an enthusiast and I'm learning. Not an expert at all (make no claim to be at any point). Just throwing out random thoughts as a consumer.

Thanks for your valuable input to the conversation. I don't need you to believe me. When I use my credit card, I pay $0 transaction fees and the transaction is instant. My point is: how are merchants incentivized to replace their POS systems if they're dealing with the wait and the headaches vs a small cc processing fee? The girl at the place today didn't even know they took BTC and had to ask someone. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

You mean no fees WoS to WoS or at all? (Trying to understand. Not being a smart ass)

Even if I used lightning, I'm still on the hook for the fee on my end no?

Not sure. Scanned the barcode with a tester WoS. Was like $3 extra.
