Oddbean new post about login | logout Anyone in the world can post anything they want and if anyone else anywhere else in the world feels like it they can instantly send that person little fractions of a bitcoin. But sure, nostr has no use case. Critics ngmi 🤣🤦♂️
I literally ordered pizza through Nostr, mainly just to see if I could do a Nostr equivalent of Laszlo’s pizza buy, but also to test a near worst-case doomsday scenario. I would say… Very useful.
Brilliant
What are you saying, you paid with nostr?
Yes. I tried to find the note but it was from Feb of 2023 and I can’t figure out how to easily get back there without scrolling like crazy. But I have some pics. Basically I copypasta’d Laszlo’s message as a note, had someone reach out to me and we exchanged some messages just to make sure we weren’t screwing each other, fully protecting our own privacy (I had this sent to my “physical coin join address”), He posted an invoice, I paid it via my lightning node, badabing badaboom. Obviously, there’s many factors here that won’t always line up perfectly, someone else will have control over some part of it, xyz. But tin foil hat on, this could be useful. Just kinda fun really. https://i.nostr.build/FoihqCvM8L2YnQQ0.jpg https://i.nostr.build/ZFz93fqjxJvFd4LN.jpg https://i.nostr.build/wfeA1xMF4ZrxTC7I.jpg https://i.nostr.build/qN2VyzEU7Hq6gJop.jpg

King. (How did you find this btw 😂)
One of the perks of being on this tg group is that you see all these cool tools https://nosey.vercel.app https://t.me/nostrtools
So did you end up with the pizza?
Oh yeah I did https://i.nostr.build/DSwMcdfm5bt5e6qq.jpg
That means you can script it and make a "Push for Pizza" button. 🍕
Great job Tatum soon you will not be ordering pizza but getting the pizza free of charge through NOSTR fundraising. Only one thing better than ordering and buying a pizza through NOSTR is ordering and picking the pizza up free of charge while Sats are auto sent to special needs causes in your community🙂
It will be fun when governments will want to regulate and tax bitcoin transactions on nostr.
Tax laws already exist. It’s for government to worry about enforcing them. Did you know that with Strike you can pay to a lightning or bitcoin address directly from your fiat balance, without ever making a purchase of bitcoin first?
How?
Couldn't put it more beautifully

Enjoy my zap
How do you send bitcoin on nostr? Sorry for the newb question
Sending bitcoin on nostr is called zapping. Zaps are integrated into most nostr clients/apps. Do you have a lightning wallet?
Oh ok, thanks 🙏🏽, great explanation, much appreciated. I use a hard wallet to store my $btc Which lighting wallet would you recommend?
For zaps specifically, custodial lightning wallets are the easiest and most convenient. Just keep the total balance low. Wallet of Satoshi, Primal, CoinOS, and Blink wallet are some popular ones. Availability depends on your area. If you want to go a bit more advanced there are self custodial options like Alby Hub and ZeusPay.
