I'd hunt more around the user needs / problems to solve. This seems more on just fun side.
They probably already do. But it's its analog imperfect version. Still, better incentives and properties than USD.
It feels like MicroStrategy has been looking into doing things like this for other companies.
Cool idea!
Some custodial slack not, which someone has to run, and where you have to preload some zapping balance at first should work.
/zapbot send 100 sats to @melissa
-> insufficient balance. If you want to zap, load your account with some sats at this lnurl:
When balance loaded, zapbot can probably detect it and send you notification on slack. And then:
/zapbot send 100 sats to @melissa
-> zapped!
Despite I made living for years by localizing the US web apps products for Czech/international users, I am a total English maximalist in this.
Choosing to use local language is like imposing bilateral trade restrictions (quotas, tariffs, capital controls, ...). And the same complacent stagnation effect as trade restriction have on the economies, it will have on the "human thought capital", imo.
There's no second best in currencies, and there's no second best in languages.
You're always be a step behind the world knowledge, or the world will be a step behind understanding you. And this gap ever compounds, until at some point, it's clear to everyone.
Local languages are cool for preserving secrets and local cultures, but not the best positioned at the brink of accelerating society-wide changes.
Nostr teaches new generation the value of building in public. A very positive shift.
This building in public culture is one of the most valuable pieces on Nostr. World class education.
Restaurants, if they had lightning ⚡ tips, could allow employees to create "splits" for their tips. Imagine never having to do a "tip-settlement report" at the end of your shift, because all tips were immediately split between the coworkers you selected at the beginning of your shift.
It would also protect tipped employees from tyrannical owners/management from capturing tips in the first place.
Would be huge if it was integrated with nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle Strike platform, so tip could be in cash by anyone, and received in SATs if the receiver chooses so.

That's a good one!
Also avoiding the 1-2% fee to wall street.
In Prague, they integrated Bitcoin pqyment options with this ToastTab-like app, which has NFC/QR stickers with IDs for every single table in the restaurant. You don't have to use them for ordering, but can easily and quickly pay the tab and check yourself out, choosing your payment option.
I'd see this even more suitable for Square, why not everyone.
The current tab payment process with credit cards in the US is grotesque. The waiter has to come to your table 3times and back just to process the payment.

I am sure you have seen this but just in case, this is the exact thing your recent AI Unchained was talking about and here it is, working in the wild.
It seems to be like one of those ideas which suddenly became obvious and inevitable to everyone.
Re: https://cryptohayes.substack.com/p/massa
*everyone who's thinking about this. Probably 95% still have no clue about how real is the AI becoming x 99% sleeping on lightning. But if you're aware of both, it's soo obvious.

Nice!
I'd add polls, Q&As, place to allow users to arrange impromptu side events, ...
The conference fedi apps should have nostr based chats and forums.
Power of the powerless vibes.
If people choose to have the free web, they will have the free web.
If he has US citizenship and runs for a US president, isn't it a conflict of interest?
