Thereβs too little funding and too many opportunities for tools to be built.
NWC is the missing link: it unlocks subscription models, non-custodial flows, programmable payments & much more.

Hey Maud!
Welcome to Nostr!
If youβre exploring ways to monetize your creative content you should look into Geyser: a crowdfunding platform built for creators.

Got questions or project ideas? Weβre just a message away.
See you in the Nostrverse!
Hey! A brand new nostrich just hatched here, so just a brief #introduction π£
I like living in a creative way. It means a couple of things:
Especially singing all (!) the (!!) time (!!!) and also teaching singing and vocal coaching (also online). π€ I might post some of my crazy everyday chants here soon π€
I also play the violin, classical music of course (usually with a string quartett), but i enjoy improvising mostly to jazz performance or even impro theatre. π
And my newest passion is playing the musical saw π½
I published 3 books for kids and one is on its way. Soon... π€
I do voicover, moderating/hosting/MC and all associated stuff π€
Thanks for having me here and i am eager to start exploring the world (not only) here. The world is Nostr! πΊοΈ

I am new here, so let me do a little #introduction . I am here because a friend nostr:nprofile1qqsqqx9hacelkffcgd3ecchzjtlvwq9xn2fmprhrwnzmm2t3exee2eqppemhxue69uhhjctzw5hx6ef0qyd8wumn8ghj7ur4wfshv6tyvyhxummnw3ezumrpdejz78c2hlx advised me to join, after being shadowed few times on my instagram account where I am sharing my way to health through Carnivore lifestyle.

Welcome Laura!
If you're ever looking to launch a project with Bitcoin/Nostr, feel free to use geyser.fund, the Bitcoin Kickstarter ;)
GM Nostr! We're feeling Zappy today, comment below something positive and we Zap! β‘οΈβ€οΈ
nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dxqcjucn0d36zummzwdjhyan9wghsqgy456fjv3yexxka5vh8urmzwklvpcu840hwfw6kk055734x43qzugkrcn8z can take a look, but doesn't seem like an issue on our end π
something is wrong with the client you are using, i also don't see it on the original post you zapped.
nope, we show the zap comment.

Hmm yea I see. I thought that zaps used to show with Geyser addresses in the past, but maybe Iβm wrong. Tagging nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 in case they see this and can clarify.
Yes they do, check out the image above π
https://geyser.fund/ is a Bitcoin crowdfunding platform. A great place where to launch your new project ideas! :)
GM! welcome to freedom tech! did you know about geyser.fund? :)
Yes KYC for creators, contributors no-KYC only for the first transaction. This latter bit is unfortunate, as we were promised no contributor KYC at all when we started the integration
indeed ;)
π¨ Breaking: Geyser now supports Fiat-to-Bitcoin contributions! π€―
You can now fund projects on Geyser using Credit Card, Apple Pay, Bank Transfers, and more.
The best part: π§Ύ You pay in fiat and β‘οΈ the creator receives Bitcoin.
You heard it right! Let's dive in π
https://blossom.primal.net/31d9c6517fbd6c8521627f5befa523c3f7379b8c751d5a820d50667e5309aacc.mov
> First, how does it work?
For contributors, it's easy! Once the project creator has verified their identity, anyone can contribute with fiat methods.
Simply go through the usual contribution flow and select 'Pay with Fiat'. The first contribution is KYC-free.
The swap Fiat to Lightning is powered by https://banxa.com/. Let us know if you need us to put you in touch with them to enable this integration on your own app.

> Why does this matter?
1. Many Bitcoiners don't want to spend their Bitcoin:
π Number go up (NgU)
π Capital gains taxes
With fiat contributions, there's no more excuse to contribute towards Bitcoin builders and creators!
2. Non-bitcoin holders want to support projects too.
If someone loves your mission but only has a debit card, they used to be stuck. Now? They can back your Bitcoin project with familiar fiat tools. Now, they can do it all through Geyser!
> So, why swap fiat into Bitcoin?
Because Bitcoin is borderless. Fiat payouts are limited to certain countries, banks, and red tape.
By auto-swapping fiat to Bitcoin, we ensure:
π Instant payouts to creators all around the world
β‘οΈ No delays or restrictions
π₯ Every contribution is also a silent Bitcoin buy
> How to enable Fiat contributions
If youβre a creator, itβs easy:
- Go to your Dashboard β Wallet
- Click βEnable Fiat Contributionsβ
- Complete a quick ID verification (required by our payment provider)
β Thatβs it β your project is now open to global fiat supporters.
> Supporting Bitcoin adoption
At Geyser, our mission is to empower Bitcoin creators and builders. Adding fiat options amplifies our mission. It brings more people into the ecosystem while staying true to what we believe:
βοΈ Build on Bitcoin
π± Fund impactful initiatives
π Enable global participation
Support projects with fiat now!
We've compiled a list of projects that currently have fiat contributions enabled. If you've been on the fence to support them because you didn't want to spend your Bitcoin, now's the time to do your first contribution!

Want it? Drop a comment below to enter π

Good idea... π€ but it it would be confusing when you login via dm verification on mobile and desktop where you actually 'sign'.
π Thank you, we're all on the same team. And it's good for there to be pushback, just this time it was quite off!
π³ Yes, you can now make contributions and purchases with Credit Card.
The Fiat is then swapped to your Bitcoin wallet!
This is a big deal for creators. More on this soon π₯
Thanks for the engagement farming ;)
