 Pretty excited about Nostr Market tbh… A truly global, censorship-resistant marketplace is a massive tool for human prosperity. 

👇 Check it out in this week’s video!

 Hi Ian. Is there a shipping solution with this? Is this another "they have to DM me" site?
We merchants need shipping profiles for a Bitcoin market to thrive. 
 This post didn't get nearly enough likes. 
An excellent nostr-market tutorial 🤯

 @Ben Arc Most of the video seems to be about LN Bits. Why is that even needed for a decentralized market place? I don’t remember that being part of the Diagon Alley spec 
 You could handwrite the Nostr notes and post them by carrier pigeon if you prefer ;-) 
 I’m asking about being tightly coupled to LNBits. Your sarcasm here doesn’t even make sense to me, sorry. 

Isn’t it possible to just use regular onchain bitcoin transactions (maybe even silent payments) to buy and sell with NostrMarket? Or is the only transaction type that is supported really just Lightning?

Limiting it to lightning means that we need a whole house of cards of technology that is just really annoying to stand up and serves to keep users from adopting 
 Your right, it wasn’t a useful response.

My badly made point was that LNbits is just a client to post market place products to relays. I’m sure other clients will come along that do it (I hope so) - if not already. No reason a simple mobile app can’t post marketplace products for example.

Not sure if there are any NIPs out there for onchain (or otherwise), and I haven’t heard of a client that supports anything other than Lightning. Maybe when marketplaces become more prevalent it would be a good use case for Monero. 
 Similar to @keychat it seems like there’s no reason the payment has to be tightly coupled to any one thing in particular. 

Bitcoin should be *inside* the Trojan horse. It shouldn’t be a big wooden ₿ symbol haha 
 Nostr Market is a global, censorship-resistant marketplace. Looking awesome!

 Which market place is that?
