 Submit your article to Bitstr Today! Free and Open community Blog. https://bitstr.org/submit-article/ 
 lets make  a Betstr for nostr betting + lightning zaps  
 I do not understand.
Why would one publish there and why is the subscription with an email?
We are on Nostr and other solutions already exist for blogs.
What sense does the solution you propose make? 
 It gives him a reason to beg for zaps since he can’t build nostr-native apps. This is Light X after all, remember?  
 I hope for his sake that this is not the reason.
I am inclined to give second chances, not more. 
 I don’t see any other way to interpret what he does. I mostly ignore him but he goes in cycles. This is probably the 3rd or 4th blog site I’ve seen him promote that he runs and then he asks people for zaps to support his cost of maintaining them.

 Ah...
Honestly, I didn't notice, when I come to Nostr I mainly share art, mine or that of others, I completely ignore certain ulterior motives 
 No, it is all free. I lose money every month running it, I am doing it for the community and to help teach others about Nostr and Bitcoin, I will be writing many of the articles too, just trying to help.  
 Mmmhh... 🤔
Light X -> Strike 1 !
Uno -> Strike 2 ?
Out! 
 Bro, it's just a free website. I don't understand the issue, I am just trying to teach people about Nostr and Bitcoin.  
 There's no paid content, no wall to access it, it is just a project I am working on to help promote Nostr, I don't make money I Lose money. The submit article doesn't require a sign up either.  
 To his credit, at least he’s putting something out there for people to use, even if I find them to be completely useless products considering that nostr already supports blogging natively. But begging for zaps instead of coming up with a viable service/product is such an old and tired tactic at this point.  
 I understand that people are weary to trust me, if I could at least explain the purpose of this site I'd appreciate it. The last blog website Pleb.lol was a website for plebs to post on, I realized that is wasn't working so I discontinued it. That domain is now used by Nip05s. This website Bitstr.org is a free website focusing on teaching people who aren't on Nostr or use Bitcoin already about it. I have been working on content myself for it, I just have it open so people who want to help can. No sign ups or payment required.  
 As for the asking for zaps, that's mainly for my Free Nip05s at Pleb.lol. I do each one manually.  
 No, you don't sign up, it is a free website of Nostr and Bitcoin material, you don't need to sign up to submit or read anything. 
 It's for sharing stuff about Bitcoin and Nostr to people who aren't using them yet mostly

 That's a default for the blog software I am using, I will remove it.
