we keep shipping at Strike

yesterday we turned on fiat card on-ramps for Mexico, Brazil, India, Vietnam, and Guatemala

today we released sending to Lightning Addresses. you can send fiat or bitcoin to a Lightning Address with Strike. here is a demo where I send nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx $10 from my bank account to his Lightning Address. we aren’t far away from cross-currency payments over the internet looking like sending an email over the internet

Strike Africa, Strike EU, Strike LatAm coming up next. looking to ship Africa before Christmas

stay humble, stack shipping 🚢🛳️⛴️ https://v.nostr.build/8KPa.mp4

It's not a bad wallet it's just difficult to navigate if you're a non techie such as myself. Being a bitcoiner has been very beneficial because it's forced me to learn twch language on the fly. Still..I want my funds lol

I use phoenix but it’s not a good starter like WOS was. Im still looking for a replacement

Sadly there's not alot of alternatives. One of the perks of being early I guess 😁

I definitely wouldn't recommend Phoenix Wallet to a newbie especially one who's a non techie. Not user friendly in the slightest and still waiting for my funds to carry over since the upgrade 🥴

Has anyone had to wait awhile for their funds to be configured over after upgrading to the new version of Phoenix Wallet? It's been over a week and the funds are still waiting

I've had a lot of those experiences.

and we had even more at Twitter. at some point it just takes off. search was one of those things that changed everything.

Yes agreed

while I agree it would be good to have more content to explain nostr, it won't really matter given the current onboarding and product experience. it's way too confusing for folks, and generally not satisfying instantly. people will and do churn out.

if there's one thing to focus on (for the social media use case) it's search. both for people, but more importantly, topics. Twitter won because of search. it wasn't a social network. it was an information network, and it excelled at real-time because of real-time search. that's a base requirement now.

what nostr adds, and what will make it sticky, is the multi-app/use-case ecosystem. but each use case is going to have different needs for attracting people to it. search is table stakes for the social media one. it won't matter how good the tutorial content is until this is done right.

nostr has the benefit right now of having a completely open and wild API. that matters as every other service is closing down. it's perfectly OK that we mostly have devs and bitcoin-obsessives at the moment. we have time to get all the kinks out and make something that's truly hard to replicate. where the only way to compete will be to join.

I tried onboarding a normie friend to Nostr not too long ago and by the end of it he never posted another note and hasn't been back since

Hey everyone!

I ended up getting very ill after nostrville and I’m still recovering. I haven’t been online as much because I felt horrible. I just wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday late. I’m still not feeling great but I’m really looking forward to getting back into life. 💜
