 This is ridiculous

You need to create an "account" and pay $5 for a nostr.com Nostr address

Why not just accept payment in #bitcoin?

#asknostr 
 This is against the very ethos of #Nostr

 I tried this and they asked me for $20. Also, they wanted you to create a normie accout and not using your npub/master key. In one hand, it could be an easier point of entry for the general public. In the other, that page started "glowing."

 We will have nostr login soon enough, we are but a small team, so takes time.  
 Thanks for the heads up! 
 I mean you don't have to use the service

I agree they should get through the hassle to accept bitcoin, not sure what reason not to...balready got the LNbits store? @benarc

Also maybe just a nostr login instead of an account to login? 
 It's just designed to con normies lol 😂 
 I mean, I'm trying to con everyone into nostr. Funny thing is after that they al staat doing the same to their friends! It's like a MLM scheme 🤣 
 It's just a nip-05 service and it literally says that nostr.com has commercial features below the "My Nostr Identity" button:

"Nostr is a protocol; explore the GitHub or visit nostr.org to learn more. Nostr.com has commercial features."

They also seem to use "Von Restorff effect" on the buttons to get users to click on the buttons taking them to nostr.org or the github repo instead of the nip-05 service or their shop.  
 Turns out nostr:nprofile1qqsvrlrhw86l5sv06wkyjgs6rrcekskvk7nx8k50qn9m7mqgeqxjpvgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7yqltfr owns nostr.com (and nostr.org?) and he's not obligated to follow the "ethos" of #Nostr as users are not obligated to get a NIP-05 from nostr.com

So, he's free to charge $5 a year for NIP-05s and require people to have an account

He's a free agent!

 He will sell it to you fpr 1 million dollars hahahahaha  
 Payments are in bitcoin 
 Use/don't use 🤷🏼
It's just a Nip05 service. 
We use the nip05 LNbits extension, which is completely foss (making this service gave us time to work on it), so you can also use it to sell Nip05s 👍
