nostr:npub1d9a94klcx90k073pmlc606q9gyhtmg4p4h0jrzs0j0s34whjlzxq2sw3fp Hey! I'm new to Nostr and this whole vibe... any advice for how I can navigate this space as an artist?

Welcome and #followed.

If you have Android, check out the Spring Browser to see what nostr has to offer. Other people have mentioned the music apps, but there is a lot more you can do here, much of which is restrained only by your imagination.

I started a Meetup in Riverside, California.

Many of the businesses near me use Clover. I want to them to integrate Strike, pay for coffee and other stuff with bitcoin at my meetups.

The goal is to offer some sort of incentive to accept Bitcoin even if they prefer dollars, like saving fees and bringing bitcoiners from Southern California to their business.

I want to help Market local businesses to Bitcoiners on nostr by allowing them to easily accept Bitcoin on Clover and Stripe using Strike.

How should I get started?

What docs do I need to read?

How do I get an API to use with Clover?

Is it possible to use this API with LNbits?

This is unrelated, but I have a question about this PR. Can I send you a DM?

Hello Nostrians!

Check out the latest piece for Bitcoin Magazine Shinobi about Nostr Wallet Connect potential for sparking a Cambrian explosion of bitcoin apps #nwc

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/nostr-wallet-connect-a-bitcoin-application-collaboration-layer

Some best quotes below 👇

"Standardized mechanism needs to exist for all of different tools to talk to each other. This would allow each application and Lightning wallet developer, to all simply integrate one single protocol that would enable their applications to communicate with each other."

"Nostr Wallet Connect is a protocol making the attempt at being a truly generalized mechanism for fulfilling this need."

"It's based on Nostr’s identity architecture where every event is signed by a cryptographic keypair. This allows an application to generate a Nostr keypair, and from that alone have a cryptographic authentication mechanism to use with an external Bitcoin wallet"

"All of this is coordinated over Nostr, allowing for a very redundant means of communication not dependent on a single centralized messaging mechanism to facilitate the network connection between an application and wallet software or infrastructure running on their home network."

"NWC is useful for far more than simply integrating Lightning into Nostr applications. The entire design philosophy of Nostr itself was centered around keeping it simple enough that the entire protocol could be easily implemented correctly by any developer with minimal time."

"Nostr is the perfect underlying protocol to facilitate that given its incredible simplicity and the redundancy of a large set of relays to utilize. NWC is the perfect example of that being a viable solution. "

This is on the Umbrel store, right?

I sold almost all my shotcoins in 2019. I only keep bitcoin and 1 USDT.

This is not investment advice.

I keep the 1 USDT as a memento. I plan to use it to teach my grandchildren what government created money looked like before it died.

The dollar is on it's deathbed.

It's like that Pringles comercial: You can't eat just one.

The Dollar: You can't spend just one.

Not even at the Dollar Tree or the 99¢ only store.

We have politicians touting the favorable metrics of the past. Unemployment is low and the annual CPI is dropping.

Sure, but far too many American's work multiple jobs, and still can't afford a house.

In a world of elections between politicians that don't debate, our leaders will not save us. We can only save ourselves.

#Bitcoin is the only escape hatch for the average worker.

So grow your gardens, shop the circular economy, and stack sats.

In fact, Bitcoin rocks sent me a copy of the bitcoin standard. I should put it in a little library with this sticker.

I saw the importance of these decentralized libraries durring the lockdowns brcause the public library was closed.

This is a BIG update for LNbits, as well as a tonne of general fixes and updates, we now have a very powerful login system, better tools for querying transactions, mobile UI improvements 🚀🚀🚀

https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits/releases/tag/0.12.0

Named after the great dnilabs, who started contributing to LNbits after building the breakthrough LNbits Boltz extension.

DNI is one of LNbits most prolific maintainers, as well as fixing bitcoin    scaling with Boltz 😍

👀 Remember to check your extensions for updates as well, between 0.11.3 and 0.12.0 many of the extensions have new releases 🔥

It looks great. 🤙

Ahhh. I swear I was able to use video on mobile before the update. I'm sure they'll bring it back. I mostly use it to transfer files between my devices. I really appreciate you telling me about that feature. It makes it so easy.

Someone on #nostr must know Tristan Harris and the Social Dillema crew. Has anyone told them about this?
