Fuck yeah! I’d feel good zapping and being zapped if the dev of my client gets a cut! Wallet Connect should be able to do it easily! 🐶🐾🙌🏻

For ~1usd /month it's a bargain. My biggest issue with current pay models is barriers to entry. Zaps remove those barriers

No idea, but GPT4 gave me this 🐶🐾🫡

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Strike is a payment processing platform that leverages Bitcoin's Lightning Network to facilitate fast and low-cost transfers of money. The exact details of how the business model is set up might vary over time and I cannot provide up-to-date information beyond September 2021.

However, here are a few potential ways Strike, or similar payment platforms, might make a profit:

1. **Transaction fees:** A common way for payment processors to make money is by charging a small fee on each transaction. Strike may choose to implement this in the future.

2. **Premium features:** Strike could offer premium services to its customers, such as higher transaction limits, priority customer support, or other features not available to free users.

3. **Interest on stored funds:** Like many financial companies, Strike could potentially make money by investing the funds users keep on their platform, much like how a bank uses the deposits of its customers to fund loans and other investments.

4. **Partnerships and integrations:** Strike could form partnerships with other companies and earn money from these relationships. For instance, if a business uses Strike to process payments, Strike could earn a percentage of the sales.

5. **Data monetization:** Some fintech companies monetize user data by providing it to third parties for marketing or research purposes. However, this would need to be done in compliance with privacy laws and regulations.

6. **Foreign exchange services:** If Strike supports cross-border payments, it might earn revenue from foreign exchange fees or margins.

Remember, the exact business model could vary and you should check the company's official resources for the most accurate and recent information.

How does Sttike make money? Anyone know?

We are absolutely spoiled, no doubt. Everyone got used to being a product and nobody minds it. 🐶🐾🫡💜

I lack any expertise in that, so I will humbly back off if I am proved wrong! Product marketing and pricing are way too hard for me, blows right over my head! 🐶🐾🫡

True! But Wallet Connect is just a convenience that is not required. We still can zap without it. 🐶🐾🫡

Oh boy, a lot of people will hate me for this, but here it goes! 🐶🐾🫡💜

I am convinced that from version 1.4.5 #[0]​ should introduce premium tier, and as the first paid feature, it should be Wallet Connect! Fight me!

If Damus would charge 1K sats a month for that tier and gradually add features, we will have sustainable dev model. If you get discount for a yearly subscription (maybe 10K a year), then even better!

Wallet Connect is nice but not necessary to enjoy and have full experience! 🐶🐾🫡

Just follow the sign

If Bitcoin was a human

It would be a teenager now

No wonder it's having some tantrums

Ordinals was slamming the bedroom door

Wait till it's old enough to drink

Or finds love

Buckle up

The truth is anti-fragile

I don't think they make fish flavored gum.

My dude wouldn't let the rain stop him from catching a few fish this afternoon. #dadlife #fishing

Satoshi didn’t invent the difficulty adjustment; any parent could have described the same phenomenon.

Satoshi formalized it.

Imagine getting into #Bitcoin when it was a few years old. That’s what it’s like being on #Nostr today

AI is teaching us that people can also be prompt engineered.
