Bitcoin + Open Source Software + Privacy = Freedom. Stay humble and stack sats🤙

Can you zap other other people from your Damus client? It sounds like there is something wrong at their end. Can they receive from other clients?

What was Twitter? Was that one of those old school social media sites before Nostr and Lightning changed the world?

Looking forward to this F1 season.

Based solely on looks and not performance, I thought the Ferrari was the best looking car last year. That deep read was amazing.

The cars this year look stunning, what's your favourite?

The clients zap to your lightning address so it doesn't matter what Nostr client the sender or recipient are using

Agreed, #[1] has done a great job

Nostr Zaps going straight to your Fountain Podcasting 2.0 apps.

Zaps enabling you to stream sats to podcast creators, I love it!

I haven’t used this service so you need to check them out yourself but it sounds great for receiving cross border payment when the sender is using fiat. Converting paycheques to BTC and other things. Let me know if you use then and what they are like

If you asked this just a couple of months ago I would have said a high percentage would have given up on Nostr but, things have changed drastically since then.

Apps like Damus and Amethyst have made amazing progress since then and especially with the the most recent additions. I have to say they are pretty impressive now and yes, there is still room for improvement but the pace of change/improvement in these apps is absolutely amazing. They are so responsive to user feedback, we will end up with apps users love in no time at all!

Shout out to all the other clients I haven't mentioned as I know you are making the same rapid progress. And let's not forget the Relays, none of this would be possible without them. The rapid pace of change and improvement has been equally amazing, look how they reacted so quickly to the spam issue!

Zap your support to apps, relays and the services you are using as without these, Nostr would not be possible.

I assume you are on Damus? The was a suggestion from #[2] I like it to😀

PV, I like RoboSats for buying sats

Same, is it just the Tor network ddos attack causing this?

Value4Value Monetisation Model - Better than Ads on Nostr

You've heard this before but if you are getting something for free, you are the product. Free services collect all sorts of data about you and your habits online, personal and sensitive data, then sell it to advertisers.

The default monetisation model of the online world is advertisement, a model that relies heavily on surveillance and game-able analytics.

Ad companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, etc make billions from you and have created a system that encourages content creators to get as many people as possible to view their ads. This is click-bait and they don't care if the content is true of not, just that you have clicked through and they get paid.

The Value4Value model flips monetisation on its head. It leads with abundance: information is set free; no artificial barriers or restrictions are added to the content, whether it is audio, video, text, or something else. The value is given away freely, and those who find the information valuable are asked to give back.

People will give whatever it is worth to them. Some might give the a few Sats, some will give 300,000 sats, some will give 2,000,000 sats or more.

Nostr Zaps enable Nostriches to give back to creators which is amazing so do give back to creators you value. And that can just be a follow or repost!
