Onboarding on Primal makes it very palatable imo. I got a friend to sign up yesterday and he didn’t even wink at the sign up.

Is there enough data connected to an npub to meaningfully target ads? I was thinking that a Nostr client will arise where you opt in to link more data to your npub to monetize your usage.

Can someone please send me a small zap? I’m trying to test my new Alby wallet and see if inbound/outbound zaps go to different wallets.

It’s astonishing how many times people like him can be wrong and maintain their appearance as an expert

Super excited to see this idea being implemented.

I’ve been brainstorming on this concept a lot recently and see so many positive vectors to take it.

Would love to chat with team if you’re looking for ideas from a non-dev mind.

Do you think there’s an end state in value for value where users can opt in to have some data collected and have a consensual relationship with advertisers? Where they are also compensated based on the completeness of their data profile for viewing ads.

For years, Bitcoiners pushed exchanges to adopt Lightning.

And guess what? It worked. Public Lightning volume is up 266% in about a year.

A few interesting insights from our new nostr:nprofile1qqsrtv3u6qkj6a09tnhr3l0wy67g9uw3t57ftqyqpvztpk3wmd6306s92qxwz report:

Our previous Lightning research in 2023 showed a 1212% increase in transactions.

Many of these were low value, as people experimented with new apps & business models.

Now, a new wave of bigger volume has come in, driven by exchanges.

We used the same methodology for our estimates as in 2023, but instead of having data on 52% of public capacity, we now got up to 79.4%

The Lightning industry continues to grow

We’ve updated our map, adding 46 new companies and removing 12.

We expect Lightning to continue growing:

- On-chain fees remain low, slowing adoption.

- USDT on Lightning may increase activity.

- Dozens of scaling proposals continue to build on Lightning.

Thanks nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0s8jq7y6 for bringing me onto Lightning. As a non dev I was able to set up a VPS with my own self sovereign wallet.

GM.

I’m not a developer but Nostr is teaching me so much about Bitcoin. I just set up an Alby Hub on a VPS and in progress of setting up a BTCPay server for my ecommerce site.

Excited to onboard onto the circular economy and this positive movement!

Bring a little touch of nature into your vehicle with Arotags. I’m working on adding BTCPay functionality to our website. Excited to be a part of the circular economy. #btcstore #btcpay

It’s unfortunate that the most addictive form of media known to man is also the most effective propaganda tool.

People were not addicted to the television 24 hour news cycle concept nearly as much as the social media addiction today.

Which makes me think was media created originally as a propaganda tool?

The goal of a hobby isn’t to be good at it. The hobby is the process of becoming good.

Might be a controversial take but Freedom of speech is useless in a population that has been subjected to years of psyops, forming LAYERS upon layers of cognitive distortions, critical thinking helplessness, ideological conditioning and manufactured false realities of opinions

Even when exposed to the truth, no matter their IQ the sheer depth of past psychological warfare renders them incapable of processing information or making informed decisions.

If I could fund or back one thing immediately it’d be non lucrative global effort whether private or governmental to de-traumatize the population and restore independent thinking. Without this, politicians, corporations, and tech companies will continue exploiting the mass previous psychological damage, amplifying it exponentially. And compounding control

If left unchecked, critical thinking will erode entirely, and decision-making will be fully OUTSOURCED to whichever party , corporation , technology that has successfully captured the population’s cognitive framework. Or the Highest Bidder

The end result : Nothing more than human bots, parroting their overlords’ opinions proudly calling it “freedom of speech.” But it’s nothing but multiple hive mind of scripted pre-assigned discourse

We shouldn’t base the future of individual sovereignty on the hopes of “Good guys” taking over the discourse , that would just perpetuate the problem , instead we should fortify every single individual against cognitive hijacking making them immune and ensuring they can think independently and reclaim autonomy

The worst dynamic of this problem is the fact that if you DYOR you are condemned as a conspiracy theorist.

This inspired me to start accepting Sats on my online store. I’m going to look into integrating Zaprire to start stacking!

What’s the best way to accept Zaps as payment for products on my website?
