Maybe, it’s never a clear cut in real life. I should preface all my notes with the disclaimer that nothing in the universe is absolute 🫡

Authenticity can be incentivized, however. Does Bitcoin incentivize it? Idk 🤷‍♂️

I know many folks around here preach “Bitcoin fixes this”, but I don’t think that authenticity can be fixed or bought. My two sats worth of authentic options 🫡

Does this small (but giant) gif work for you? 🤔

lol! People still do that shit! A lot of zaps not even registering on most of the relays ffs. 🤦🏼‍♂️😂

Since my notifications this afternoon are cluttered with people discussing and complaining about my “zaps in vs. zaps out” ratio (wtf people 😂), I’ll take this moment to remind everyone that it’s essentially a pointless metric, especially for anyone who has been active and zapping for a while. Zaps are sent for many reasons. They are used for fun, for V4V exchange, for paying someone when you owe them money, or for work done or a service provided. People self-zap and have zap wars sending the same sats back and forth multiple times. People send private/anonymous zaps. There are even fake zaps. Lol. It’s one of the most easily manipulated metrics on nostr, and even for legit zaps, there are so many variables at play that it’s silly to get mad at someone over their “ratio.” 😂 Please, I urge you to go create actual value for someone and stop obsessing over whatever this is about. 🤦‍♂️

Just run your own ISP already, nostr:npub1uvl7vhclmezvdhqha6eclkksln40rjhgwgsggvew683jf93fr4pq3mq3sd is doing it 😂😂😂

Run a node… and a LNURL server… and a web server… and get a domain… Cmon normies, DO IT! 🤣

Be your own bank, they said. nostr:note184gt7r5kellppkp8l3ynsenauj44ernlk643uvg2gt5hk8fcxcnqsrw9jc

Their links are fine, there are armies of opportunists running around and looking for a low hanging fruit like this to be able to link to their next scam.

I noticed in some of the photos people are posting from Fosdem that the nostr booth there is using w3.do links in its flyers/handouts. Possibly related?

PSA: https://w3.do (the domain that I own and proxy to the nostr URL shortener) that is maintained by nostr:npub1alpha9l6f7kk08jxfdaxrpqqnd7vwcz6e6cvtattgexjhxr2vrcqk86dsn (the backend shortener part) has experienced a mass scam/spam/phishing attack. The service has been restored, but the root cause has not been addressed. Since all of the burden for abuse responses falls on me, I cannot always keep-up with the takedown notices. The service is free, so rely on it as such. 🫡

Normalize self-zapping! 😂🫂🔥⚡️⚡️⚡️☯️♻️ nostr:note14s73evh54s9grgqxd0hxv0g29waekwfjxg7cvv73rz57mjl0f7tsxwneqa

At least it’s chlorine-free 😂😂😂

170 MILLION people were instantly cut off last night from accessing all their content, messages, and social graph on TikTok, with no way to export or migrate it elsewhere. This perfectly emphasizes the importance of Nostr’s design that allows you to create and access redundant copies of “yourself” in as many places as you choose. nostr:note1yn0dl9pr3qppp2pzsl778357s98gqlmaz3qqt9hgxx6j26dscc0sa8s4xj

GM! Self-zapping is OK, and acceptable way to raise your spirits! Now back to the standard fiat mines and grind! 🫂☕️☕️☕️

Whenever I hit the like button I feel compelled to just go ahead and hit the zap button too

I ain’t asking for details 😂😂😂🫂🚀🍺🍻

I switched away from that client early last year.

Hot take(opinions under influence): at times I feel that some new clients are trying to put a lipstick on a pig, without actually doing anything innovative or trying to make a progress or move the needle. Although it’s expressed under the influence of alcohol, I still think it’s valid. 😂🚀🫂🍺🥃🍻

Someone on my note, so I figured I give them their sats worth of effort 😂🫂

Is this your zapvertising? Or someone zapvertising on your post?

Gotta make it worth 8 sats of zapvertizing 😂🫂🚀

GM! Client Wars? What did I miss? 😂☕️

nak test

Just checked their feed on BS, didn’t see the note. From when is it? 🤔

Anybody uses the original Alby wallet whom I can try to zap? I tried one pleb and couldn’t 🙏🏻🫡

The main issue with developers, is lack of focus on the customers’/users’ needs.

Relaying this note, now pay up ! 😂😂😂 lnbc6900n1pnvu7wdpp5utasqmjcqfqnhy6srrvz639asttj6k4r0dummlw4szz84zxhn65sdqcfehhgefqwfjkccteypnx2efwcqzzsxqyz5vqsp5mteegygw8nm7n83cg6qzxtljfyak2htqgg08dy60zcxj95v4vfmq9qxpqysgqu38wjs0xuayjrlm7yj34jr9g2hystgg4vg27xj9r4k58kga8w6mnhsx62dznuxsp3u2xp7k6k3nxnqk44vw79t0vkg38mv9elvtgtzqqhrs7u4 nostr:note1kpk9ztlugw97nwauq8t375jf7gp5twwhtkguclrfwvhmuw0af8yqnppj5d

And of course Eclair with its dumb protection against predicted on-chain fee difference force-close 3 of my active channels!!!!
