Definitely possible on Twitter, Instagram, etc. using translated hashtags, but that’s not nearly as seamless.

Congrats!

I’m happy to see my “sats sent” number go up on nostr.band, but it’s definitely not accurate! Should be at least double from today

I could be wrong but I thought it only worked with Lightning addresses?

I think that happens automatically through WoS, because I don’t have a place to type that in

Can’t access the zap icon here

Is it not working or you can’t see the icon?

Hmm i was receiving some zaps from others earlier today?

Very nice!

It’s randomized so sometimes you get 1,000-2,000 sats in one sitting

You’re missing out on quite a few sats if you aren’t listening to Fountain every day!

Wait I missed how you guys are zapping so quickly? 🤔

This is one of my favorite books to browse through. If you like the Belle Époque, this guy saw everything and met everybody and tells you what he thought about it:

Thank you for everything you do, truly.

“I can do a better job than that lazy guy you were mentioning, I think his name is Leonardo da Vinci?”

“Here is my portfolio. I made The David, among other things.”

It helps to have a Michelangelo to depend on though 😂

This is how I look at the world: What is the highest quality thing you can do while you are here?

Art patronage requires several beliefs:

1) art is worth supporting

2) there are artists today worth supporting

3) the free market does not take care of talent/genius

4) what hasn’t been created yet is more important than what already exists

5) the best is yet to come

"Michelangelo was best known as a sculptor, not a painter. Yes, he had done some painting, but primarily small pieces - little in the way of frescoes and nothing on this scale [painting for the Sistine Chapel]. Yet Pope Julius II chose Michelangelo for the job. The Pope was adhering to the Medici philosophy of patronage: choose someone who is clearly talented, then assign him an impossible task - do so even if he seems like a bad fit, especially if he seems like a bad fit. Think of how different that approach is from ours today. We only hire applicants for jobs once we've determined they are a perfect fit. We only assign tasks to those who have already demonstrated they can perform that same exact task. We treat risk not as a noble venture, a dance with the universe, but as something to be avoided at all costs, or at least reduced to a decimal point. And we wonder why we're not living in another Renaissance?"
