co-founder & cto @ geyser.fund Spreading Bitcoin is the way to adoption.

Bitcoin is global money, enabling financial collaboration between regions where it was either impossible or very costly before.

At nostr:nprofile1qqstdhxam7rxw5586xjwscsdj24fqhp93kzsh7xvjg7nnhc7mlh9aeczqf2t4 we have first-hand insight into these flows when it comes to crowdfunding. Let's check some stats:

50% of the funding that takes place on the platform is cross-regional.

56% of funding was received by projects launched in countries not served by traditional crowdfunding platforms.

Over 90% of the funding received by projects on the African continent was sent from other regions.

The best part? All of these transactions were received instantly, and at very low fees thanks to Bitcoin and the Lightning network.

Crowdfunding is a very powerful financial tool for change and impact. In 2022, we launched with a thesis that this tool needs to be accessible to everyone, regardless of their access to banking.

Impactful ideas can be born anywhere in the world, and connect with anyone around the globe.

Today that thesis has been validated, and we believe it's just getting started.

Money that flows freely and globally creates collaboration on a scale never possible before, between sovereign individuals, in peer-to-peer and grassroots fashion.

It does not make the headlines like governments and public companies adopting Bitcoin, but there is a silent revolution taking place in financial inclusion, and it is powered by Bitcoin.

Had a great time yesterday building a Specter Shield Lite.

Really impressed by it! It’s a very well rounded DIY signing device.

Thanks nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7ctvw3kxzuewdehhxarj9ekxzmny9uq3wamnwvaz7tmpw3kxzuewdehhxarj9ekxzmny9uqzqpkjgamsmlpppz479crzqecky68up5vkhe8tljl6tc98p2cnqhv5faje9r for the workshop.

Reward based on thread depth. Conversation starters get higher payouts. If people engage with your reply, you get higher payouts.

Inversely, if you write a spammy response and no one engages you get nothing.

Also apply a simple trust score filter based on Trust Rank (to get started).

I'm building this, curious to see how it'll do.

Yes, lot's of them. I have some ideas on how that might be solved...

nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 @geyser.fund LN addresses are not working with zaps anymore (for the past month)

I'm using geyser for nostr:npub1wyuh3scfgzqmxn709a2fzuemps389rxnk7nfgege6s847zze3tuqfl87ez but since the zaps are working its broken the support page in the app

Hey! Is it still not working? Happy to take a look. I believe I tested it about 2 weeks ago and it worked.

🌊Geyser project of the week 🌊

OC’Axe, cooling solution for BitAxes.

100% of zaps I receive for the next week will go to the project.

Working on a similar idea but trying to reward for valuable engagement.

It will probably fail but fun to play with it. In the end it’s still incentivising engagement with sats.

Are you still getting the issue? I'm looking into it.

We tested zaps on this note… we made six attempts to⚔zap this note, at nobsbitcoin@geyser.fund, over a period of 21 minutes. In each case, we found that your lightning address server did not respond correctly. (The failure point was when we did a GET request to your specified callback URL: https://api.geyser.fund/.well-known/lnurlp/nobsbitcoin ). Your server did not produce an invoice, thus the zap failed. The error we got was "Could not generate a lightning invoice for this project". You might want to look into using a cloud-based Lightning node which is optimized for Nostr zaps, to get your zaps working.

hey! the zap went through for me. are you still getting an error?
