At the scale that the U.S. is at, exiting and building a new system entirely is the likeliest winning move. Voting won't fix anything. The Founding Fathers knew this; Satoshi knew this. You could think this wrong, but while others renounce their citizenships and/or enjoy freedom elsewhere, planning and laying out the infrastructure for a new world past the nation-state as we know it, you'll be stuck in a crumbling system designed for control. It's not a fruitless pursuit to stay and fight, but it leads to the most destructive outcomes.

"Another word for money is 'currency', as in 'currents', as in 'river'. This term emphasizes something important about money: it has to flow to exist at all. Money is a protocol, a shared idea that has power to the extent that people participate in exchanging it."
- Gordon Brander
This is the very reason why the "I can't believe you spent X amount of bitcoin to buy *something*; should've just hodled!" line of thinking is ridiculous. Bitcoin wouldn't have any value in the first place if people weren't insightful and crazy enough to first exchange it for goods and services and accept it as payment.

At the moment, I just send a normal message containing the buyer inputted info with the payment, but I was going to modify the NIP-15 spec and replace the NIP-04 requirement with NIP-17 and an "order-info" subject tag (that tag is already set in the current implementation btw).
Was thinking that when "type" is set to 0, it would require an address but not a contact. If type is set to 1, it would require a contact but not an address. Contact could also be changed to be more generic and not require Nostr, phone, or email.

A seller's network and reputation are entirely locked in to a legacy market platform, meaning platforms can favor buyers almost exclusively without needing to consider their sellers much. This leads to a majority of disputes being settled in favor of buyers and to much higher take rates than are necessary. Marketplace platforms have little to no incentive to help their sellers because they virtually have no other place to go.
Being able to monetize through micropayments on promotions or simply taking a lower transaction fee (due to the potential velocity of money being much larger and the flow of money being more seamless), marketplaces must build a system that favors the buyers and sellers equally in order to not cause sellers to flee while still providing a relevant shopping experience. The cost of doing business trends towards supporting operating costs rather than exploiting the people who give the marketplace value in the first place.
It now becomes up to the buyers to put trust in sellers rather than having sellers hope they won't get screwed. Sellers are now greatly incentivised by natural market forces to be as honest as possible because they'll get a near 100% cut of their sales volume and carry their reputation across the network (which can be quite difficult to establish on Nostr), almost eliminating the need for escrow (at least for growing merchants).
Buyers can also earn sats by simply engaging with promoted products in a privacy-preserving way. This makes browsing products less meaningless and promotion more meaningful, while also establishing a greater trust relationship between both parties, even if there isn't one prior.
Aside from realizing truly permissionless markets, these technologies give smaller projects a huge opportunity to build out sustainable niches that massively undercut the incumbents. To paraphrase Jeff Bezos (ironically):
Your take rate is my opportunity.

That's very odd; if it isn't loading it's either that it's blocked in Iran or my hosting provider is blocking the traffic since your location is based in Iran. Could you try accessing it via WiFi (VPN on and off) with airplane mode turned on or just having your data off?
From digging into it a bit more, it seems like my hosting provider may block Iranian access due to U.S. sanctions. VPNs should be able to get around this though; maybe Tunnel doesn't properly mask the origin, but I'm not entirely sure.
