Welcome. LFG!!

Happy Thanksgiving!! And a special thanks to all the vendors working with me on our upcoming WAGMI Holiday Gift Basket. It's got 12 items made by merchants on Nostr who accept Bitcoin. The coolest part of it IMO is you can give any of these items to someone and be confident it will improve their lives. No seed oils, no toxic ingredients, no compromises. And you know what? I didn't have to pick and choose these merchants. Everyone on here is just like this by default. It feels magical and underappreciated. My hope is that these baskets spread the incredible spirit of this community through tangible goods that make peoples' lives better. Let's show our family and friends that Bitcoin and Nostr are more than nerdy technologies with idealistic goals. All items are finally in-hand. I'm finalizing packaging, a point-of-sale system, and some other details. Baskets will be available for purchase very soon 🤠

This is high up there on the list of best-named goods ever

The dollar is the end of the line for fiat currencies and fiat life. Maybe that's why in vim the dollar symbol takes you to...the end of the line.

Really wished zapsnags and/or some kind of native Nostr way of selling stuff worked more reliably. Feels superfluous (but also necessary) to create a whole new separate e-commerce flow from scratch merely to use the same Lightning infrastructure I'm already using for zaps on Nostr.

50-year mortgages and 15-year car loans aren't surprising when financing basic consumer products over many months has been happening for years now. What struck me about this ad is that they're saying there's a sale but don't even mention the actual price...highlighting only the monthly installment amount. Are these pay-over-time arrangement things really that prevalent?? 😬

Had to be away for a few days unexpectedly. ICKNO suffered. I'm sorry. In the mean time I've expanded vendors I'm tracking to include home improvement items, furniture, and more meat. Updates on the gift basket coming soon. Most items received, but a couple of stragglers still stuck in USPS hell 🤡

Only good for a few more hours 👇
