Noooo, lightning privacy is bad enough

Took about a day to rebuild the utxo set but it looks good to go. Let me know if my #zaps still work nostr:note1z3euff4ut9uvq5urehu5c9jhuejcpl0yusdxxz8a2fxsct4e8mhsseasdt

🧠 Question for hivemind 🧠

Easy setup payment site:

1.) You get a lightning wallet in any way. (Custodial, non-custodial)

2.) Site generates you on the fly invoices for your wallet.

3.) You can embed the generated invoice as an iframe to your website.

4.) Payer can pay with 2-clicks with wallet apps, wallet extensions, QR code.

(Fully non-custodial solution, as you provide the wallet)

How stupid is it?

🚨 Developer Community 🚨

If you want any online social space at all to achieve widespread adoption, you must target teenagers. This is an unfortunate fact of life.

Very few people past 30 ever change their purchasing habits or their lifestyle habits in a meaningful way. This is why people still use Facebook, sometimes people break habits but it’s very rare. People are literally locked in by their endocrinology.

Brand loyalty and learned patterns of behaviour are very real things. There are tangible biochemical reasons for it.

There is a reason the entire advertising industry has learnt from experience to target first time users.

If we want nostr to succeed then developers should really be targeting products and services for teenagers or people in their early 20’s. If you want to build a niche, you are of course free to do so, but if you want societal adoption you must surf demography.

All successful social platforms have surfed a cohort. To succeed at scale we really need to stop focusing on displacing Twitter and start focusing on post TikTok.

All the work to date on nostr apps has been extremely valuable, people have demonstrated ferocious pace of progress and speaking personally… I am blown away by a lot of the talent here.

A number of people have been able to self identify as incredible talent and many have observed this.

I see some of those same people now running out of road in terms of Ramen money. Collaborate, go further together.

The post TikTok window is now opening.

Target it with this open source technology!

There are so many new frameworks and protocols available now. So many excellent devs here are making great products but are targeting long saturated markets.

It’s also a noble mission, get the propaganda Dues Ex Machina’s tentacles off our kids.

Took 48 hours to sync bitcoin core 🤙 Not bad for the cheapest Ethernet connection
