I love spending Bitcoin but have always been a spend and replace guy so it costs 1-2% depending on where you buy Bitcoin. More recently I found nostr:npub18tcc00lqpysdsurg567dllzg7jeyr5wcyk2v6w23rx3s3ygyze2qv32nxx and have realized I can earn Sats back on money I am already going to spend by just buying gift cards and then buying the stuff I need with them.
Last year I started buying dips and then buying gift cards with LN withdrawals from nostr:npub1xkere5pd94672h8w8r77uf4ustcazhfujkqgqzcykrdzakm4zl4qeud0en as needed. The cost to acquire sats there is 1.2% so if you earn more in rewards than that then you’re coming out ahead. I basically turned River into a spend only checking account with LN capabilities. I have been consistently buying gift cards to places like Cabella’s, REI, Visa and hotels.com and earned a nice chunk of Sats back (140k so far at a 6% Sat back ratio).
Buying the dips has me way up on purchasing power now too. It’s sort of trading but whatever it worked in my favor this time. And if I would’ve lost purchasing power so be it. I know it could’ve gone the other way.
I like it

After multiple years of trying, Tim Apple FINALLY allowed me to KYC with his stupid company and bestowed upon me one of his Apple Developer accounts.
Incredible that a dirty Argentinean without a fixed residence, phone number or valid POA like me was able to be blessed by their grace. Truly can’t wait for nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 to obsolete this system.
Regardless of my bitterness of how horrendous this process was I’m very excited about bringing many of my apps to a permissioned App Store next to you, starting with nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x.

📣 Introducing zap.store 0.1.0
For months I have been dreaming of a better app store, frustrated by big tech's permissioned bs, GPG's complexities, and Obtainium's reliance on centralized services and poor UX.
Here's the first (very alpha) iteration of zap.store, a permissionless app store leveraging the nostr social graph.
✔ Android only (for now! Desktop coming soon)
✔ Obtainium drop-in replacement (smaller catalog but growing)
✔ App releases are signed/curated by this account, as developers start self-signing
✔ Web of trust check before installing an app
Get it at https://zap.store or https://github.com/zapstore/zapstore
(SHA-256 hash of the APK version 0.1.0 is 8540bd492064c17d83bcdc6d2a463c2aea46f13c2b0d13b8a96023df95bd0c9d)
Feedback more than welcome, it's also possible to send directly from the ⚙️ screen in the app
s/o to nostr legends nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q and nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 for their invaluable help

Brutal 😂

Yeah just little uncertainty of getting thrown in jail for being an unlicensed money transmitter
