LNURL / Lightning Addresses are not perfect, they have tradeoffs like everything else, but they work today and I am grateful for that.

It works and is easy. What do u expect?

I'm also ok with people doing whatever they want, it's just disappointing to see all the WoS worshiping with zappening events, etc.

Do you think most on-boarded users are aware that the wallet is custodial and of the tradeoffs? Or do you think they just think it's still bitcoin just with a lot of ⚡⚡⚡?

Something that is "just temporary/for small amounts" just for convenience's sake, eventually turns into The Standard one it hits a critical mass. It happened before with email and with the web.

😱 IOS wen?

Say hi to #[0]

10 BTC tbh

A billion sats is a sick bounty

Nasty wet stuff by us.

GM 1ft of snow 😀

👀 don’t tempt me

Hey fam - just set Zapa up for wifu up Damus.

She’s a little new to all this so hasn’t seen the power of zaps

Let’s show her Bitcoin I’m action.

Let’s test how cool people are on nostr.

I promise to zap you a million sats if you promise to zap it back.

We’re going to secure this transaction using PPT.

Pinky promise technology.

Lol 😂

Hit me with a 🤞if you want in.

You could have a website and load pictures on it and put links into nostr. But yes Nostr only takes links to pictures.

There is no image hosting in the protocol.

Overheard on a recent Lightning developer call:

"You can earn more sats by shitposting on nostr than by running a routing node."

It always confuses me when modern liberals are anti bitcoin. The most radically inclusive financial system on the planet? Same fair rule set for all? Sounds pretty liberal to me.

Start9 offers this pre-packaged?

I'm surprised by the number of bitcoiners that don't host their own email. Being a sovereign individual is such a big ideal among bitcoiners and yet so many choose to have their email services hosted by a third-party provider.

Email still today plays a huge role in our online identities and communication. Almost every service we sign up for requests an email address either for some type of verification purpose or communications. Having a third party host your email allows that provider to be privy to all your email information. What services you use, what you buy, where you shop, your acquaintances, and more is all information that can be gleaned from your email.

Hosting your email should be as important to bitcoiners as hosting your own bitcoin node.

I mean, the way I see it, the story of Jesus illustrates that govt & religious authorities (same thing) are what kill God.

And I think there are few things demonstrated quite so clearly throughout human history.

what chain? with bitcoin you will pay horrendous fees.

how do you send large amounts?

it is ok. it works. fees are tolerable. but it would be excellent and make nostr outstanding if also monero was integrated. faster. lower fees and private. monero does not need a seperate, different network like lightning. most people do not know that lightning is a seperate network, it is not the bitcoin blockchain

Let them try to freeze your zaps.
