Thanks mate! π
Assuming the lightning payments receiver supports nostr, it should be sending the zap receipts to on or more relays so people can see your note had been zapped. Does it appear zapped to you?

Is Alby handling the zap receipt publishing or are you doing it yourself?

Thank YOU for organising! π§‘
The talking heads and sheep will say it for sure π
You're coding with NIP-57 per chance? I can't see your zap receipt. Maybe you're not publishing to a relay I'm on though. 
Right, so the user would need to set up a signer before being able to use the service. Of you wanted to use a bunker URL etc. but it's passing this over a phone line secure? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you want to do

I'm in my early 40s π I've never had a "job" as a programmer but it has been a hobby of mine for ages. I have only gotten serious about it during the last few years. I built minestr.app and nostr:nprofile1qqspvmlq75689xnttagp50dx97yc0czck27gca49ua3vj5z8j9yxt6cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvshsgkr3ft more recently.
If you can get yourself up to speed with the current trends and learn the popular languages in the fields you're interested in, I think you'd be in with a chance. But if you're starting from scratch, this could take you a year or more imo, and young people can learn faster that you and probably spend a lot more time doing it than you, so you're up against it. So I think it would be difficult to compete against them in a company recruitment situation.
In the nostr/bitcoin space I think rust, python, go and js are popular choices. I only use js though, and it's been enough for me. There's no problems specialising in one imo. If you can start contributing to a project it's a good idea. Or build something yourself and hope that it becomes popular. Or try and win some short time contracts. You might have to offer to do it for a low price to get it. These can be "ins" with potential employers online that notice your work. Or if you have any more local connections/contacts, that can also help. Both of these, however, have a lower chance of landing a job compared to applying for a position directly (assuming all else equal).
Good luck and feel free to ask any more questions you have! (I'm not an expert though π). If you're in a position where you have the time and money to spend, I'd say follow your heart and give it a try π
I think it's fair to say that the world is a very different place in terms of civilization and technology compared to the period gold was discovered though!
