 Running nostr 
 real or fake ? 
 Omen either way id say 
 Real. Will DM you from twitter.com/balajis to confirm. 
 Welcome 🤙 
 The proof should be public 
 fwiw here’s the right way to do this: https://www.nostr.directory/ 
 Amazing. Was wondering when this would see this happen. Balaji takes a ton of maxi punches, despite being a heavy Bitcoin proponent. 🫂 
 Put the npub into the Twitter profile or has Elmo outlawed this?

Apologies if it's already there I wouldn't have access to verify. 
 Substack works too. 
 👀 did he ? 
 Nvm just seen ur quote note 🔥 
  https://i.nostr.build/L6V9.jpg https://i.nostr.build/qQKL.jpg  
 nice! heads up zapscript not running atm for me unfortunately. have testflight and alby connected, no lightning icon at all 
 Does Damus receive eNuts cashu DMs? As he has no lightning address yet, that's the only way to zap him 
 "Anything in particular I should look at and try?" - Said every single person that is completely disinterested. 
 👀 
 Welcome! 
 CN you just quote your npub in your Twitter bio? 
 You will save me nitter trips. Welcome !!!!¡  
 Eventually this will reverse. Nostr will be the proof of identity. 
 just post the npub on your twitter 
 New platform who dis? 
 new protocol who dis 
 well, did he DM you? real? 
 You get a gulab jamun. 
 No npub on his Twitter profile yet at least 🤷‍♂️ 
 true if huge 
 fake 
 #nostr is an open protocol, ain’t it?

Look at da moose run. 
 We need answers! 
 🤙 
 Amazing!

 Welcome! 
 Welcome to the new frontier of community and development!

 Welcome. Onward 🫡 
 If you set up a ligtning address, we can zap you some sats! You can set one up with lots of providers - eg @Alby or @primal 
 real? 
 I bet you a million that you will get to 90 followers within a million days 
 Welcome sir!

 welcome 
 Bienvenido 
 Hey - welcome! 
 wen Zaps    you must feel it 🤙 
 Welcome to nostr, followed, i can't zap you, don't forget to set a lightning address with your nostr account 
 I recommend @Alby you get a lightning address + you can save your nostr key encrypted in the browser extension then log in safely in any nostr clients 
 You have to request an invite code for @Alby now, just FYI. 
 Welcome! 
 hey Balaji -- good to see you here! 
 Welcome 🤙 
 Fake. Will only believe if another 2M bet is placed with proof.  
 Welcome 🤙

 Welcome mate. Enjoy the experience.  🦘 
 Welcome to nostr. 
 Welcome 🫂 

Make sure to set up bitcoin lightning address on your profile, so you can receive zaps (there are ways to do it non-custodialy, but good easy "hosted" solution is with Alby or Wallet of Satoshi or Stacker News...) ⚡💜

 Dont you think Balaji would post on Xwitter that he is running nostr? don't trust, verify.

 Welcome! 
 Yo big guy 
 🐶🐾👀 
 Can't block here by the way

Welcome too  
 is this the real balajis? 
 #yestr 
 You sure? He's been a pretty big #Farcaster supporter. See my notes

@note1ewagyx26y0ee00pqmda785a5758vaq36um9kn7hpt7zkcpvslflqnjvzyn 
 He’s not just a supporter. He’s an investor in Farcaster. Also, it’s no secret that Balaji loves Ethereum. 
 Condidering his twitter profile, I had always thought he was mostly a Bitcoiner. Guess I thought wrong. 
 #nostr 
 You asking the real questions... 
 Big if true

 Welcome to #nostr !!! 💜 
 Looking forward for your content here 
 How’s your Farcaster 💩🪙 going? 
 welcome to freedom 
 The real Balaji would setup his `/.well-known/nostr.json`. 
 You gotta show him your nips 😏 
 welcome  
 Delicious 
 Welcome to Nostr 🤙🏻 
 Proof or it didn’t happen. Run your own NIP-05. And/or post your #Npub for the public from your Twitter handle. Npub is supposed to be, you know, public. 
 I long for QR codes for zaps again. 
 Welcome🫂 
 Welcome. 
 Welcome fren 🤙

 Be cool to see someone with a good following verifying themselves using a nip-05 from their web address

 great to have you on nostr! 
 Welcome! Will follow when nip-05’d 
 welcome!!

 Hopefully it's not a fake! We need a proof. We are proof-of-work people ... don't trust verify ...
plase @balajis put your nostr npub on your X account! or something like that! =)

 USDer also needs nostr 
 Let's fucking GO!!! 
 it's a one way worm hole  .. you can't go back :-)  
 Link a lightning wallet so we can Zap! 
 You met a bitcoiner at prospera didn't you??? 🤣  
 Great to see you here!  
 just set up my nostr as well! seeing many comments about zaps

can someone kindly explain what they are/how they work? 
 Zapping is just built-in use of lightning network to tip someone's posts. You do need a custodial lightning address to receive last I checked. I am a novice but googling is easy. I just checked and apparently Jack tipped me. I didn't know that. So thats cool. 
 👍👍 
 Welcome  
 I'm glad! Farcaster is not Bitcoin aligned.

 Hey i just remembered, what happened to the $1 million bet you made on twitter? Did you pay? BTC has not reached $1 million even now, and according to you it was to happen, like what a year ago? When did this nonsense happen on twitter, does any pleb remember?
