Haven’t been here in a while. Is the zap button gone fr??
Hey cheap sats! Yoink.
If one is motivated by engagement and reach then one should prefer 121 likes over a single zap, but maybe that’s an extreme example.
I’d rather get a single zap than 5-10 likes for sure.
The struggle is real.

Lol Masayoshi Takanaka fucking rips. He’s like Japanese Larry Carlton.
That shirt is dope, please tell me someone is selling those
"Authentic" bitcoiners may choose on-chain transactions, but I suspect they'll only do so until/unless the fees get too high for too long. Then we'll see how authentic they are. People should remember: rising fees and the emergence of fee markets are *expected behavior* for Bitcoin as adoption accelerates. This will in turn drive adoption of L2's, including LN.
As far as whether LN benefits miners... well sure, in that it creates MEV on channel open/close transactions. This is only part of the tapestry of activity that Satoshi expected to be happening on-chain in the future: securely moving large sums of money, L2 operations (LN, liquid, etc.), as well as whatever other activity the base protocol supports... yes, this includes ordinals and BRC-20 tokens, like it or not!
This kind of urban history is my jam 🤙
This podcast episode goes through a lot of it. Highly recommend a listen! https://fountain.fm/episode/14982736486
It seems sound at the face of it. With regard to ordinals, what’s neat is that they’re fully on-chain. That kind of thing is a rarity on ETH. It’s objectively better, but is it *necessary* given the use case (mainly digital trading cards rather than something with true artistic value). Same could be said for BRC-20. Better, but is that needed? It’s all meme coins. But maybe one day something useful will come along…
Really interesting perspective on why BRC-20 is a better standard than what ETH enables with ERC-20. Fairer distribution, not ruggable by scammer devs. Sure, it’s all worthless memecoin garbage, but on the protocol level it seems interesting. I wonder if anything productive can emerge from this that’s more consistent with the bitcoin ethos, unlocks novel, value-added use case, and carries more acceptable externalities.
For now it’s just high fees and butthurt.
When I fix my wallet connect link tomorrow I’m gonna zap the shit out of so many of you fools
Looks like when I connect to a node via a NWC link pointing to an invalid relay, the zap appears to succeed (and shows up under a note’s zaps) but my node didn’t actually send a payment.
Satoshi printer go brrrrr #[0]
Hey, mind helping me test? I just zapped this note. Do you see it and the txn in your wallet? Beginning to think that the UI is showing a success but I think it might actually be failing…
