Testing receipt of payments on my home node. Can someone please do me the favor?

zapped! looks like it worked!

Fascinating discussion and this gets at the crux of why so many of us are so excited about #lightning and #nostr.

I agree with #[2] that v4v may be the solution to this conundrum. It’s not free, but it’s not the same as an arbitrary subscription or paywall either. Instead it allows the consumer of information to pay very little or exactly as much as as is requested for that piece of work. This should have the effect that quality information will be paid very handsomely by a few or the very small contributions of many add up to a lot. Filler and low quality information will die because it can no longer hide behind a subscription or ads.

To an extent, this in itself resolves the issue around IP you’re pointing out #[3] because these payments will often be small and frictionless that stealing the content elsewhere is disincentivized. Does it fully resolve the issue? Maybe not.

However, I think another thing we underestimate and can not yet imagine the extent of is how willing people will become to reward adequately the author of information they value, as we enter the era of sound money.

My question is, how do we incentivize this behavior with technology even further by making it east and frictionless? One example of even more extreme v4v I’ve thought about is, you only pay as far as you scroll. I.e. if you search through the doc and only read one page, you only end up paying for fraction of the content. But that’s just the beginning.

Appreciate you Caitlin!

haha that cracked me up

No more rent seeking, no more surplus elites.

hell yeah brother

😅

zapped! received?

The good news is we have the answer in our own hands and can spread the word. No more excuses

sound money ftw

we need to continue to convert who we can with empathy but rigorous dialogue. I think that’s part of the responsibility of transitioning to these open protocols. Let’s not sink to their levels.

We all know the transition will happen, but it’s in no-one’s interest for it to happen in the form of a major crisis.

The more we can convert people peacefully, the softer the landing will be for all of us.

Thank you Nostrich!

I do

First and foremost, the invention of the printing press undermined the power of the catholic church which was the most powerful institution in Europe at the time. They were denying people direct access to god and forced them to pay to redeem their sins. Martin Luther’s bible and the printing press decentralized access and significantly weakened this corrupt regime.

#Bitcoin is doing the same but for central banks and governments.

Anyone else bothered by the “Posts & Replies” feed jumping every time a new post is added at the top?

I just randomly came across your profile while scrolling through someone else’s followers. I’m a fellow Ayn Rand fan and recently wrote my first substack post on a Fountainhead related topic: https://open.substack.com/pub/soirbleu/p/djokovic-roark?r=o7r8l&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

I’m obviously still learning but in case it peaks your interest, I’d love your feedback!
