Nope. I think it uses “spark” which is new to me, but it’s another bitcoin L2. Still need to read up more on it.

Loads fast. No KYC. Clean UI. Seems like it will be a good option for onboarding people, as well as just regular day to day LN use.

Yea i got an invite last night. So far it seems to work great. It lets you switch between the custodial wallet and the self-custody wallet within the app. In the US, though, the receive page only works with the self-custody wallet, and your custom lightning address stays with the custodial wallet. Hopefully they change that. But the wallet itself seems to be working fine.

V4V is the better way for sure 💜🫂 My point is that for creators on platforms like YouTube, they can’t simply replace that income from ad revenue by switching to a V4V model. It’s the risk they take by making themselves reliant on it in the first place. I don’t think they take the time to think about all this though. As long as they see dollars coming into their bank account, they think all is good, not realizing they’ve sold out their audience to an advertising cartel.

There is no quick & easy replacement for the money creators make from YouTube, X, etc., when that money comes from ad revenue. That’s because your viewers are not the customer, but rather the your customer is the platform and advertisers. You, as the content creator, are ultimately serving them, not your audience. As long as you’re dependent on that customer for income, they own you and can control you.

Yea. I'm not a fan. At least it was not set as the default display option. I submitted feedback in the TestFlight with my thoughts on it.

Not sure if it’s open source. The TestFlight release notes mention spark for self-custody.

The TestFlight notes mentions spark. I dont know beyond that though

Not in an official capacity. Just got lucky to get a beta invite.

👀🔥

Don’t believe the FUD. Sats are not dead. #satsthestandard

I don’t have a shareable link. It’s still a closed beta and they had to add me by email. Not sure how they’re rolling that out.

Outside of centralized control? Probably be self hosting. Gonna take some work. Nostr still doesn’t have a good solution for video streaming, unfortunately.

Back in our day 👨‍🦳

lol it was not a simpler time on nostr in this regard 😂

Just a couple of years ago most bitcoiners didn’t know how to use lightning addresses. Nostr has been HUGE for helping to change that.

Yea bitaxe is probably the best way to go. I just had this laying around for a couple years and finally decided to get it out and play with it 😂

😂😂

Lol. Zap could go to the owner of the Tesla.

Zap to ride

Taxistr?

The best part of waking up

Let’s hope that is the outcome

I think it’s an objectively true assessment of them 😂😂

Looks like my paragraph breaks didn't all copy/paste properly. I will try to edit this. Hope it doesn't mess anything up.
