Accepting lightning for merchants requires a lightning node be online 24/7. The common solution for this is #btcpay server, but this is quite heavy (and therefore impossible) for many online merchants on shared hosting. But nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 "node in a phone" is lightweight enough to be run on Android. Can a BTCPay server be configured to use a "node in phone" style node? Is there some similarly lightweight option we can use which does what #BTCPay Server does but with the overhead of #zeus? #bitcoin #asknostr #lightningnetwork #asknostr
Anybody got an easily linkable source for the S&P stat?
endthefud.org would be a good starting place
They usually haven't when given the choice because foreign cars where better and/or cheaper. Tariffs may force them to buy American by artificially inflating the price of foreign cars. So we get worse cars for the same price we used to pay for better cars.
Get second opinions
If you post more info about your current online sales setup, people may be able to give more tailored suggestions. Another option is opennode (if you have your own woocommerce/magneto installation but don't want to host a btcpay server)
Due to the nature of DMs in nostr, shopstr can be a bit unreliable. By all means, list your stuff there, but also having your own site which accepts lightning is probably the way to go. BTCPay Server is a great option, it integrates with woocommerce and magneto. I believe squarespace also allows BTC lightning payments. I ALWAYS search for a vendor who takes BTC for anything I shop for, excited to see more joining.

The rush is that several major social media platforms are basically collapsing right now. That's a decade in the making. We are missing massive opportunities to onboard users.
Bitcoiners are really, really bad at branding. Examples: Custodial vs non-custodial: Who chose these words? Nobody knows what they mean if they aren't steeped in BTC lore. Self-custody? Much better. Nutzaps: Cool tech, but 70% of people are going to not use this tech because they don't want to be "nutted on". I get the memes are cool but c'mon. Nostr: Primarily pitched as a tool where "you can't be censored". Most people's minds instantly go to that ONE ANNOYING GUY who got kicked from their discord server for posting racist memes. "Un-cancelability" is of interest only to the minority of the population. You know what is popular? Better privacy. Being able to choose how your feed is sorted. Not having ads. Being free. Not having divisive bullshit shoved into your feeds. Being decentralized/not feeding Meta et al. Bitcoin for merchants: ZERO PERCENT FEE. WE SHOULD BE YELLING THIS FROM THE ROOFTOPS, instead, most promotional things I see about Bitcoin are about: supply, inflation resistance, fast transaction times, etc.
2600 magazine if you like anti-authoritatian tech
Because bluesky is not meaningfully decentralized in any way. Because it's not decentralized, somebody else will decide what goes in your feed and who you are allowed to follow. It has all the same broken incentives faced by Twitter, Meta, etc that lead us to the current wasteland that is social media.
Get somewhere setup to contribute to "bounties" for this and I will pitch in some sats
We frankly aren't ready for a big influx of users. 90% of them will leave when they encounter nostr's MANY UX issues.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. Because all the government needs to do is accuse you of being a non-citizen and there go all your rights, because you have no opportunity to offer evidence to the contrary.
If you want private prompting, run the AI locally. Everything else is just thoughts and prayers.
My nostr dudes, what would you say is the closest male equivalent to the Barbie movie? Something that explains a unspoken but nearly universal experience among your gender? #asknostr
