The reason why I’m hesitant to add zapping to my profile is that I seek sponsorship for my articles & interviews so that the content can remain free and I don’t need to ask the audience for money.

I appreciate donations, but I’m feeling morally challenged by the idea of receiving money from my podcast listeners when I have 4 minutes of ads in every episode.

You also help the Bitcoin ecosystem at large if you check out the sponsors – because I pick them myself and they provide unique products/services with the Bitcoin ethos in mind.

So you also help a lot if you:

💚 download & use Wasabi wallet

😎 buy a Cryptosteel Capsule (10% off using code BTCTKVR) to store your Nostr private key, passphrase, or BIP39 seed

📱tell your favorite content creator on Patreon/OnlyFans to switch to Bumbee and get paid in bitcoin

🛒 do your shopping on ShopInBit instead of Amazon (5 euro discount with code BTCTKVR, 3% discount if you pay in BTC)

Elon didn't want to save free speech. He just wanted to be in control of the narrative.

What’s your fav relay on nostr?

Not much longer!

Of course you can send! It's a full-fledged wallet! Just enter an invoice to the bot and that's it. Or a Lightning address, or LNURL. There are many ways to send.

Or wait, do you mean as zaps in nostr? Then you need to connect it to Alby (Desktop) or BlueWallet (mobile) . Check out this guide:

Poor LightningTipBot - was made for Telegram and now basically all it does is crunch requests from nostr clients on its NIP-57 LNURL endpoint and publish events to relays via websockets.

Who checked all the boxes?

Elon seems to be getting more and more unhinged lately

JUST IN‼️🇺🇸

Lowering inflation to 2% will crush the US economy.

You need a higher stable inflation rate around 3-4%

Hit Restore defaults on Iris

Clicked Save relays publicly

Snort still showing those 6 :(

Also, does anyone remember the old James Bond games? I still have one for the n64

Does anyone use Iris and Snort at the same time with the same keys?

I could only get the Snort default 5 relays and damus.io(added) to show on Iris, I added, 15 relays on Iris and then they just get deleted when I open up Snort. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

end note: it’s fun to go to nostr.watch and connect to relays in different countries

Never believed that paying people to listen to pods would be a viable long term model. The V4V model is the killer feature though.

As Heinlein wrote in the “Stranger in the strange land”, people do not appreciate what they didn’t pay for. I believe that works the other way around as well, where people willingly streaming sats per minute / per page will pick content more thoroughly and appreciate it more.

Is fountain getting nerfed? I swear I used to get 80-100 sats a day, then 50-80, now I get 40 sats if I’m lucky. I wasn’t sure if it was just me

Thank you for this. I do wonder if the authorities there would still be able to track down protesters on there?

I wish the Iranian ppl had access to a better messaging app. WhatsApp isn’t working.

Ordinal Inscribers are now paying Bitcoin mining pools to construct blocks for them with zero or minimal financial transactions, so that all of their images get inscribed in sequential order. They are not using the normal block construction methods. They are including these in the next block over the counter or behind closed doors. This has happened 3 times so far with 3 different pools. Luxor, Foundry, and the latest one was from Terra Pool. These out of band blocks are creating a secondary marketplace outside of Bitcoin's normal block construction methods. Miners are now talking about selling blocks before they are found. Thoughts?

Agreed wholeheartedly. But let's use the signal to educate people as to where and how they can buy their BTC KYC-free.

Here's an intro medium article that should help any Nostriches wanting to keep the government's eyes out of their purchasing history.

Proton VPN is good too
