Dove into NUT-11 P2PK over this Sunday, it's pretty cool. You can lock a token to a public key so only its owner can claim it. Got me thinking about designing this into #eNuts. Still wrapping my head around the more advance bits like multisigs and timelocks. More to come!
https://m.primal.net/HYjT.mp4

Note: this is just a prototype, this feature doesn't yet exist in eNuts. Still needs a lot of consideration, but you can check out the NUT-11 documentation and try out eNuts on Testflight!

Please let's not start saying that ecash is self-custodial. It is not.

You hold the ecash, we get it. The ecash part is non-custodial, ok. It's been thought of that way since the 80s. It's fine to think that way if you're literally the central bank and the ecash you issue IS THE MONEY AND NOT A REPRESENTATION OF AN UNDERLYING ASSET – only a central bank can do this. Repeat with me: Only a central bank can do this.
Ecash today is a representative of an underlying asset. In Cashu and Fedimint that's BTC. You give up control over that underlying asset. You measure everything in terms of that underlying asset. It is all about the underlying asset. You have NO GUARANTEE WHATSOEVER TO REDEEM THAT UNDERLYING ASSET BACK – ecash systems the way we are building them today ARE CUSTODIAL – please don't make things more complicated than they need to be. Please do not manipulate language and especially, do not confuse noobs who are still learning. I almost want to say that a framing like this irresponsible.

What are you going to say to the noob who wants their Bitcoin back but the federation broke down during an update and the database got completely rekt? How is that non-custidal or self-custodial or whatever the opposite of custodial is.

With all due respect, this is a bad take.

Never change, bitcoin.


I see many people that want to "fix Bitcoin" with all kind of mental gymnastic "solutions" that are NOT Bitcoin, but nobody is looking to fix what is obviously not working well: force closing channels.

Right now, Bitcoin and LN works as is supposed to be.
It is not a real problem opening channels in high fee environment. You can fix that with batch opening channels and consolidate the fees.

The problem is when you get a force close channel, because on the path you got a shity Tor node, with shity maintenance and your HTLC got stuck on the way, then triggered the force closing. Or whatever other reason for that force closing that can cost you a fortune.

We can transact very well and fairly cheap over LN if we do not have all these crazy force closures in high fee env.

I can live with opening channels in high fee env. Is a cost that node runners could asume it and can be manageable.

But I cannot live with the threat that some day, some payment got stuck for reasons that I cannot control and for that my channel got closed.

Spend and replace works perfectly fine on LN to refill your emptied channels.

Please STOP looking into bullshit solutions and fix the damn force closing channels. Then we will have another 10+ years of smooth adoption, meanwhile we can build more robust solutions for billions.

Yeah, Synology DS1522+. Migrating away from Drobo.

Mainly just used for backup and media playing via Plex.

Performance is pretty good actually. Maybe I just stack more sats instead.


Main drives are SATA.

This is for the cache. Maybe just do 1 x 2 TB. It has two cache drives.


Gonna beef-up my NAS with some M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs.

Recommendations pls!


interested in an anonymous esim service (US/UK) that works worldwide that is an actual mobile number (data + outbound calls and texts only) that you can pay for with #sats without exposing your identity (no KYC)?

listen to this interview with the silent link admin and learn about why you shouldn't make non e2ee calls and texts whenever possible.

tl;dr your carrier tracks your precise location (even without a sim) ties the kyc info with your device imei number, can use device triangulation and has access to the content of your calls and texts and drop-in to your ongoing calls for content and voice fingerprinting etc. you should treat these calls and texts as open information.

take the time to listen

A few months ago I wrote this on twitter.

Figured I would bring it back here.

Bull runs tend to make everyone feel like a trading genius so you might be inclined to trade shitcoins.

Here we go 👇

If you're trading shitcoins to make more bitcoin, here are a few things to reflect on you might have overlooked:

If you currently own bitcoin you already have "enough" bitcoin; whatever trading you do for 99.9% of people won't make a difference. Of course, you think you are the .01% because that's human psyche, and casinos would not exist if this weren't the case, so you can probably stop reading.

Trading shitcoins is WORSE than any other kind of trading/gambling: if you subscribe to the idea that bitcoin is a technology for freedom, your trading shitcoins (i.e. giving them liquidity) provides oxygen to the most successful attack (to date) against bitcoin: generating confusion about what it is, and making people believe it's yet another speculative/trading vehicle. If you know this, then you, willingly or not, are participating in exploiting financial and freedom illiteracy.

We are where we put our attention; is your attention on something worthwhile, or is it focused on trading? Even if you just use X% of your attention, are you happy paying a (X%+context-switching-costs) tax to delay the world you want to see just because you want a slightly better position in a hyperbitcoinized world?

Your attention and time are WAY scarcer than bitcoin; are you protecting/respecting these as you do your cold storage?

You probably don't agree with this; otherwise, you wouldn't be trading shitcoins, but I'm writing this on the off-chance that you haven't considered this before and you were just too focused on the "I want more bitcoin" ambition.

TL;DR:

* You are wasting your life-force/energy on something that doesn't improve anyone's life, including your own.
* You are financially supporting scammers creating chaos.
* You are helping delay a tectonic shift in the amount of individual freedom.


Wow. This has hitherto prevented me from using Graphene as my main driver.

I am working on a nostr-based item system for video games. Players can create their own items with customized stats (think mech parts for Armored Core 6, or guns in Call of Duty, or World of Warcraft items) but the stats must be paid for via NIP-13 proof-of-work. This enables ultimate creativity, guided by a game's stat rules, and constrained by thermodynamics. Consequently, an interesting result of a POW-based item system is that your thermodynamic power in reality can translate into in-game power, and although skill and luck should also be necessary, this can effectively make any game a proxy for real life competition.

Another interesting aspect of nostr-based game items is that you can bring your items via your pubkey into different video games, making persistent interoperable items that exist between experiences.

There is a lot to explore in this space.

My Nostr predictions for 2024

Today marks one year since I joined Nostr. It’s been a crazy year, but I have a feeling that 2024 is going to be much crazier. Here are some predictions:

1. Nostr social media clients will become insanely good. By the end of the year we will surpass the legacy social media clients in terms of UX and features, making them look like relics of the past.

2. More lightning wallets will implement Nostr integration. By the end of the year Nostr will become a de facto standard public lightning directory.

3. The bitcoin bull run will bring more users to Nostr, adding more gravity to the network.

4. At some point, a massive new cohort of users will join Nostr. We won’t be ready for them. Relays and other services (indexers, media hosting, etc.) will struggle to support them. After some hiccups, the Nostr ecosystem will adjust.

5. With the increased network activity, spammers will return in force. They will be sophisticated and relentless, putting all of our spam mitigation services to the test.

6. Long form notes will become much bigger on Nostr.

7. At least one “other stuff” content type will take off in a meaningful way.

8. Nostr’s censorship resistance capabilities will get tested in a major public episode.

9. The AI community will get much more interested in Nostr. They will be attracted by the idea that open source language models, combined with Nostr’s open social graph and publicly accessible data - could actually democratize AI.

10. By the end of the year everyone - even the haters - will realize that Nostr is going to win.

11. nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx will accuse me of not being bullish enough.

Anyhow, GM ☀ and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻

Introducing the Ghost Address! 👻⚡

A Ghost Address is a Lightning Address for every lightning node, eliminating the reliance on custodial intermediaries to obtain a Lightning Address.  Ghost Addresses enable easy lightning payments directly to self-custody!
https://amboss.tech/_next/image?url=%2Fassets%2Fblog%2Fghost-addresses%2Fhero.webp&w=1920&q=75

What's a Ghost Address? 👻

It's the fusion of Phantom Payments first described by nostr:npub1spralxq6jlw5rdy0249vqr5sh43rfrlx2wzv3rhjjqedw559w9psrs8s72 with the simplicity of Lightning Addresses from nostr:npub1rvg76s0gz535txd9ypg2dfqv0x7a80ar6e096j3v343xdxyrt4ksmkxrck . It's all about making lightning transactions as easy as email. 📧⚡

Getting started is easy. Update to the latest Ghost-enabled Thunderhub.io , claim your Ghost Address, and step into the new era of self-custodied lightning zaps!

Stay humble. Stack sats. Broadcast notes.


Yeah, I understand the block template thing, but Antpool seem to be consistently mining empty blocks.

I think I saw something from nostr:npub15uj9clt5xd29ys40myjk4eg5vzhu9yxgrnpnk9mzdatmm4qyq2esdn3yww that perhaps they've brought online older ASICs running a now incompatible 'AsicBoost' algo.

🎉 HRF is excited to announce its Q4 round of Bitcoin Development Fund grants 🎁

💰 $500,000 to 18 projects across areas such as global education, Bitcoin Core, mining decentralization, and support for devs in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.

One grantee is Mostro, a peer-to-peer Bitcoin exchange created by Venezuelan developer Francisco Calderon. It is designed to facilitate censorship-resistant financial transactions under authoritarian regimes.

📚 MyFirstBitcoin, a non-profit in Central America, is another recipient. They offer an open-source Bitcoin education program. With HRF’s support, they’ll be able to increase their international expansion, bringing crucial knowledge to more closed societies.

Arabic Hodl is making Bitcoin education more accessible to the more than 400 million Arabic-speaking people worldwide. Hodl’s project includes creating how-to guides, privacy tutorials, educational podcasts, and foundational Bitcoin literature in Arabic.

🌐🔍 Netblocks receives support for their vital work in monitoring global internet restrictions. Continuous internet monitoring is crucial for activists and journalists to maintain their freedom of expression, access to information, and safety. Strong internet is also important for financial freedom.

HRF is funding developer Lorban for his work on StratumV2. Stratum V2 enables mining pool users to select transactions for proposed blocks, instead of relying on templates from pools, increasing Bitcoin’s censorship resistance. ⛏

John Carlson's efforts to improve the Bitcoin Core App project is also receiving support. Through this work, he hopes to lower technical barriers and make Bitcoin transactions more accessible to a wider audience, starting with users on Android devices.

Area Bitcoin, founded by Carol Souza and Kaka Furlan, is expanding its Brazilian educational content across Latin America. The HRF funding will enable translations of their resources into Spanish and English. 📚🌎

🇳🇮In Nicaragua, Berta Valle is focusing on Bitcoin education for human rights defenders in Latin America. Her project will empower dissidents and civil society leaders with Bitcoin to help them become financially resilient against oppressive regimes.

Bitshala in India is creating a hub of Bitcoin knowledge and community. With HRF's support, they'll provide tutorials, technical training, and resources for budding Bitcoin developers in the country. 🇮🇳🌱💡

HRF is supporting hack.bs in Italy. With the grant, hack.bs is establishing a cypherpunk hackerspace that will bring together locals and global experts in the areas of financial freedom and the defense of privacy. 🇮🇹🛡

Bitcoin Deepa is nurturing the Bitcoin community in Sri Lanka. HRF funding will enhance their educational efforts and promote Bitcoin adoption among local merchants. 🇱🇰💼

🌍Exonumia translates Bitcoin educational content into African languages like Shona, Malagasy, Amharic, Kiswahili, and Lingala. Funding will support their efforts to expand to more languages, raise awareness of Bitcoin, and grow financial-freedom oriented communities.

HRF is supporting L0la L33tz’s efforts to create a Bitcoin privacy guide for beginners, with a special focus on activists, dissidents, and NGOs in hostile environments. We look forward to publishing and sharing this document in 2024. 🌐🛡

HRF is awarding a grant to Groundswell in the UK. Groundswell supports Bitcoin education for refugees and diaspora communities, particularly from the Middle East. The project will host workshops, practical training, and help refugees (plus their families) receive their first Bitcoin. 🇬🇧🌍

⛏HRF is supporting Kulpreet Singh's work on Braidpool, a proposed peer-to-peer mining pool. By allowing miners to build their blocks and reducing pool operators’ grip on payouts, Braidpool is designed to enhance Bitcoin’s censorship resistance and decentralized nature.

HRF is proud to support SeedSigner developer Keith Mukai. Funds will facilitate MicroPython research and development to enable operations on affordable microcontrollers. This will eliminate Raspberry Pi dependencies, making SeedSigner more robust and accessible. 🔐

Bitcoin++, a developer-focused conference series around the world. Funding will cover educational efforts, general conference expenses, as well as travel expenses for developers from authoritarian countries.

Bitcoin Atlantis, a conference in Madeira. HRF funding will help human rights defenders, civil society leaders, and educators working in dictatorships to attend the event to share their experiences with thousands of Bitcoin builders, creators, and educators. 🇵🇹🌊

With these grants, HRF continues to push the boundaries of financial freedom, privacy, and human rights through Bitcoin. Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting initiatives. We’re looking forward to greater innovation in 2024! 🚀🔐

I am now a freelance bitcoin journalist, content creator and MC.

I stepped back from Cointelegraph as an employee on Monday.

Feels really really good.

I’ll earn less but it’s hopefully worth it.

I will still share content on their platform at times as I believe it’s worthwhile getting bitcoin only content on the largest crypto000 platform.

However, all documentaries, longer videos and educational/how to content will be published on my channels including Youtube.

Naturally I will be reaching out to sponsors. They must be bitcoin-first companies as well as products or services that I use on a day to day basis.

I’m also going to try to crack TikTok. I want to reach more normies in 2024.

Thank you for your support, Nostr frens.

You’ve been an important space for me to vent my frustration over the past year.

Ultimately, Nostr has helped me arrive at this decision.

Cheers to you all 💜

The Natural Investor on camera duties.


🚨 Two days ago, we received a concerning support request: An app that appeared to be the BitBoxApp asked the user to enter their recovery words.

This was clearly a phishing attempt by an attacker trying to steal the users funds.

Here's what happened: 👇

https://image.nostr.build/471dc945e24b9836c14f228e9ebf520a9c389d45f1392598383ede6be1dcbd00.jpg

The victim has had his BitBox02 for multiple months already. One day, after plugging in their BitBox02, the BitBoxApp flashed and displayed the above screen.

Knowing he wasn't supposed to enter his recovery words on a computer, he immediately contacted our support. 💪

Together with the victim, we figured out that a malicious BitBoxApp clone was placed on his computer. It does not replace the BitBoxApp, but is installed in another folder.

Once the original BitBoxApp has been opened, it minimizes the original BitBoxApp and displays the malicious "Bitbox.exe" over all other content.

The malware also appear to take screenshots to surveil the victim. 🚨

https://image.nostr.build/ffa5b51ba5c3b0d1ac777282bd180448fc4ea5ea07aabef5fe7940874f50905a.jpg

We were able to trace the origin of the malware to a malicious website.

The victim used DuckDuckGo to search for "wasabi wallet" and ended up downloading a malicious installer.

This is an extremely easy mistake to make, as there are multiple phishing sites in the top results.

https://image.nostr.build/06a421d407b60e98e26b82d6147fdbcb04becb8b2f3de73fc18f1b2be802b51a.jpg

We have reached out to Wasabi Wallet and they assured us they do everything in their power to get rid of these fake sites.

It is necessary for DuckDuckGo to take action and make sure these malicious websites don't appear in their search results.

To make sure this does not happen to you, you should always verify exactly where you are downloading programs from.

This is also why we provide instructions on how to verify the signatures for our BitBoxApp before you run them:

https://github.com/digitalbitbox/bitbox-wallet-app/releases/tag/v4.39.0

Thank you again to the victim for helping us figure this out as quickly as possible!

Their fast and correct response made it possible for us to figure this out really fast and warn other users. We've already shipped them a small 'thank you' package to show our gratitude. 🙏

In the end the BitBox02 did exactly what it was supposed to:

It protected the users wallet when their PC got compromised.

Would the victim have used a software wallet, chances are high that their money would have been stolen.

Or, the most likely way for nostr to die.

Nostr has a funding problem. Developers and infrastructure is severely underfunded and reliant on flawed economic models, and this could pose a risk to the future of Nostr as a protocol.

To understand it, we need to understand what resources are needed to make Nostr work, how they aren't funded properly and what could happen next.

# The costs of what makes Nostr work

Nostr works because:
1. Developers build clients on it
2. There is infrastructure to support clients

If there are no developers, there are no clients. If there is no infrastructure, clients have no purpose.

## The costs of developing a client, and the reliance on developers

Clients require time to develop the client, and money to run infrastructure for it.

Without developers, there would be no clients, and no Nostr.

Developers have lives and need to make money somehow in exchange for the time they spend. Developing a client is a significant cost, even for small ones (assuming 1 hr/day, no infrastructure costs and the average salary of a software developer, **$1500**) and needs to be covered somehow.

We have multiple models, all of which have large downsides:
1. Donations/V4V/Bounties:
   This model suffers from the problem that a minority pays for the majority, which will lead to the majority demanding exclusive benefits for their money or otherwise cutting off funding since they have no reason to pay.
   This also suffers from the fact that donations are unreliable.
2. Grants from OpenSats and similar non-profits:
  These suffer from the same problems as the donations model, but also suffer from the following problems:
    - the managers of these non-profits may have views not aligned with their donors, leading to misfunding.
    - that such projects are mostly stopgaps that add additional complexity to a direct donation model.
3. Paywalled features:
   It is very hard to find the balance between paywalling enough features to make money, and discouraging too many users from using the client. There may not even be such a sweet spot.
4. Cuts:
   It is extremely hard to balance these so that people don't complain, and it is likely that there will be forks of FOSS clients that remove these features by some users.
5. Paid clients:
   People do not want to spend a lot on services that they expect to be free or cheap, and spending $5/month on this client, $10/month on that client, so on won't scale, even though that is way less than the actual value they are getting.
6. Ads:
   Ads are usually underpaying and mostly make money for the ad companies instead of the client developers. Ads are also an invasion of privacy and may not be well received by some users.
7. VC funding:
   VCs put profit above protocol health, which may accelerate some issues that I will discuss later. They also may disincentivize the development of some apps (uncensored social media for example) for pushing their own agenda.

Even if we find some good way to fund clients, it doesn't end there...

## The cost of infrastructure

There are multiple types of infrastructure for Nostr, such as relays, services like Noswhere's search relay, push notifications, etc. All of these cost money to operate, and are the other half of what make Nostr work.

These have even more limited funding options, which have even bigger downsides:
1. Client funding:
   Clients already struggle on funding as I discussed in the previous section. This would mean infrastructure is even more underfunded.
2. User payments:
   Users do not understand the details and importance of infrastructure, and have no reason to fund it. Making this problem worse, infrastructure providers can falsely advertise their services, diverting money away from infrastructure that is higher quality and should be funded. This is already happening.
3. Grants from OpenSats and similar non-profits (*relays only*):
   Again, these suffer from problems specified in the last section about grants. These entities will likely want the highest value from their donations, therefore leading them to encouraging a few big relays than many medium sized ones. Since relays are more important infrastructure, and they could have more control, these entities can also exert more control over the network.
4. Data harvesting and selling:
   This would discourage people from using their providers, but this is likely going to happen to some extent. The issue is that it would not generate sufficient revenue for the amount of users it will drive away.

Both infrastructure and developers being underfunded can lead to issues that may kill the protocol, which I'll discuss in the next section.

# The risks of improper funding

## 1. The protocol fizzles out and dies without reaching critical mass

This is one of the less likely options since there will probably be people developing for the sake of it, but is likely. With client developers being underfunded and infrastructure shutting down, Nostr would become smaller and worse to use until it completely fizzled out except maybe a few people.

## 2. The enshittification of Nostr

This is the most likely outcome, and the worst one. As Nostr continues developing, developers and infrastructure developers will want to maximize revenue, so they will begin by making good products to attract users at a loss.

After they have a sufficiently large user base, they would slowly erode bridges to their competitors, only leaving what is required so that their users won't complain.

After this stage, it is likely that clients will start merging with other ones to make larger "everything" apps and kill the last bridges, turning them into proprietary walled gardens, returning us to where we are today.

# How do we fix this?

I have no idea. Please share your opinions if you do :)

We wanted to let you know that we are working on a number of features over the next 2-weeks related to adoption statistics. 📈

This is in preparation for a presentation at nostr:npub1ad0ptuzte83alpkpqqctvewlaqj5zq23c83m82xw8apg4t6zlyns6xng2c, where we'll be sharing the latest and greatest data we have. We'll be showing adoption metrics on both a per-country and a per-community basis. This will involve per-capita and per-km² analysis, with insights into verification 'up-to-datedness'. 🤓

So, please feel free to have a little spring clean of your community data before we run the final reports in a couple of weeks time to ensure we tell the best possible story of merchant adoption in your community. 😍

Introducing 🍷 cellar.nostr.wine - long term pay per use storage for your vintage notes!

Why?
- Most relays do not accept very old events
- Some relays periodically purge old notes (NOT nostr.wine!)
- Offline backups/private relays are not viewable by others
- Fiatjaf told me to do it

How does it work?
1. Add to your pubkey balance on https://cellar.nostr.wine
2. Send notes to the relay using any backup service or nostr client (no created_at limits)
3. As our relay receives your notes it will charge your balance a pro rated annual fee per note (1 sat per note/year)
4. Your notes are stored and indexed by the relay as well as automatically backed up and available for rapid export at anytime
5. You will receive DM reminders when your balance starts getting low and when renewal fees are due
6. Anyone can add wss://cellar.nostr.wine to their nostr client and query historical notes

Cellar automatically rejects the following event kinds: 4 (DM), 6 (Repost), 7 (Reaction), 1064 (File), 1984 (Reporting), 9735 (Zap), and all ephemeral events.

Authorized delete requests are always honored and never charged. Kind 0, 3, and 10002 events are stored without charge from paid users. Duplicates events will never be charged.

Future improvement ideas:
- Customized exports (choose which event kinds to include, timestamp filters, and file type options)
- User controlled kind allow-lists for billing (only allow kind 1, for example)
- Browse the Cellar (Frontend to browse old events with a date picker. See what people were talking about on a specific day in history.)
- Search the Cellar (NIP-50, our API, and Kibana)
- Import tool that lets you export events from filter.nostr.wine to the Cellar


Boom. 🤟

EXIT.pub 0.3 is out!

✅ reliability improvements

This version is a significant improvement on reliability. When publishing events
fails, or a relay stops accepting your events, EXIT.pub will gracefully handle this
and will allow you to resume the publishing where it left off.

✅ Satellite CDN support

Now you can opt to buy storage on nostr:npub1lunaq893u4hmtpvqxpk8hfmtkqmm7ggutdtnc4hyuux2skr4ttcqr827lj 's CDN to store
all your images, instead of leaving them hosted on Twitter's servers.

*I have NO affiliation with this CDN, I don't get a cut or anything like that, I just like his service and its documentation, it's very Nostr-centric (upload to your Satellite CDN account by signing a nostr event proving who you are!)

✅ EXIT.pub relay

Until now, many relays were rejecting backdated events; if none of your relays accepted any event, EXIT.pub would not give you any feedback (if you clicked "publish events" and nothing happened, this is what was happening)

I have properly handled this now so you know what's happening, as well as added an wss://relay.exit.pub relay that will allow these imports; if EXIT.pub sees that your relays are all rejecting your imports, it will suggest you use this relay.

✅ Published relay breakdown

EXIT.pub will now show you exactly which relays have accepted each event.

✅ Reimporting events

If a previous run of EXIT.pub failed midway and you have *some* events imported, you can reimport those tweets, your events will *not* be duplicated, even if you imported previously without Satellite CDN and now you use Satellite CDN, the previous event with the Twitter-hosted images will be deleted.

Check it out!

Presume this only really works at scale with gossip model and unrestricted read access to those notes?


Almost done with a long term event retention relay. Looking for feedback - what would you change?

Why?
- Most relays do not accept very old events
- Some relays periodically purge old notes
- Offline backups/private personal relays are not viewable by others
- Fiatjaf told me to do it

How will it work?
1. Add sats to your pubkey balance
2. Send notes to the relay (no created_at limits, upload data as old as you’d like)
3. As our relay receives your notes it will charge your balance a pro rated annual fee per note (price TBD)
4. Your notes are stored and indexed by the relay as well as automatically backed up and available for rapid export at anytime.

Authorized delete requests are always honored and not charged.

This relay will be available publicly for anyone to add to their nostr client and query historical notes.


El Salvador for Adopting Bitcoin for me.

Awful. Got some great pics there a few years ago.

Humans don't deserve nice things sometimes.


nostr:npub1arcweuxy0zkdcg08sljh058qp02ytrgnpzh4csa3ar42szyfgrpsw6ggtw allows creators to use their reach and numbers to reward their followers in a value for value economic model.

For this exmaple, let's use me. 👀

Let's say that I wanted to reward the people that followed me and also shared a note of mine. I would add the $boost tag to my note. Prism picks it up, and tracks who shared the note. Now let's say that my original note was Zapped 100,000 sats. I could then in turn Zap the Prism created note all 100,000 sats, to reward users for boosting my note. That's wild.

This opens up a completely new advertising model for Zaps. The implications and use cases here are going to get really interesting.

Now back to my example. Let's say a new company with very few followers asks me talk about a product or announcement of theirs, because I have a larger reach. Maybe they do some Zapvertising? Or maybe nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg and I work out a deal where they Zap me 50K sats to post their announcement and talk about their announcement and I send 25K sats to everyone that boosts my announcement note.

This allows those on Nostr without large audiences to participate in essentially what is ad revenue sharing via Zapvertising. 🤯

On Twitter, if you follow some influencer and share their Tweets, you don't get paid for it, but they do! That model is broken, because it takes advantage of people's followers and the person at the top reaps all of the benefits. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth too. 😡

Boosts in this capacity are really cool as they allow for all to participate since we're all building Nostr together. It's more democratic and inclusive. I really like it. 🔥
