I guess, in a way, I helped push them towards these ends.

You said I was allowed to put it in anything that I wanted to taste like vanilla. This is 100% on-label usage. 😋 And 1/8 tsp was the right answer. Also, vanilla root beer works.

PSA: 1/4 tsp of 's bitpaste is too much for 24 fl oz of cola. It was tasty, but wow, what a kick in the face (you know, in a good way) Maybe an 1/8th tsp would be suitable. Will try that recipe next.

the link to buy your cookbook doesn't seem to work anymore. Can I just zap you for it? Ref: https://ketobeejay.npub.pro/post/note13jd6zcuzsh86ynes8x8rgu5gpj9yv57mwaxvfhkrnw6ap8fp0jnsta0h7y/

Does this mean you now have a moat?

Why can't I find a site that lets me enter a lightning address and get: 1. a QR code with a lightning bolt on it, 2. text below the QR code and some text that says something like "pay using the lightning network" or "donate via lightning" In an appropriate format to download and print out on glossy 4x6" photo paper and attach to the wall or desk. Has nobody thought of this before? Do people not have the art skills to make this happen? These are the types of practical things that lightning advocates should be making easy.

Native to where?

I really want to know what he went on to say!

I'm trying to understand his perspective here. The article says [some crypto index] "has underperformed the S&P 500 since 2017". So I pulled the bitcoin price from 2017 and it was $1K. It's now around $68K. So a 68x ROI. If you take the Dec 31st, 2017 price of $14K, it's a 4.8x ROI. The S&P went from $2258 to $6775. An ROI of 3.0x. So the logic here must be that if you include all the altcoins' performance along with bitcoin, they drag down the "crypto" performance to something less than a 3x return between 2017 and today. Furthermore, since anyone can make as many altcoins as they want, the supply of "crypto" is unlimited, whereas the demand is not, which means it is worthless. And bitcoin is a subset of "crypto", ergo Bitcoin is nearly worthless. Let's just set aside whether he's right or if it makes sense, my only question is: is this the argument he's making?

And expected my suggestion to "make things easier to let pre-coiners accept bitcoin" was going to bring out the haters here on Nostr who want to tell me what I'm trying to to is dumb or not worth the time. They can keep hatin'. You do you, boo. We all have our priorities.

If you're looking for some rockin' music, might I suggest an album by KMFDM from 2003 What's old is new again.

That works well for situations where you want to be low key and go the IYKYK route. I'm looking to cater to a different crowd. I want community groups to be able to quickly and easily print something out that will let them accept donations via lightning and introduce people to the lightning network. Whatever style is takes, it should look nice, not just be a boring old QR code. Depending on context it might not even say "bitcoin," because people in some circles have an alergic reaction to that. This makes it easier to have a conversation about it instead of having them immediately reject everything I have to say without consideration.

Looks like about a half dozen people are actually full time nostr devs. You're one of the few. Although some people post so frequently, I have to wonder if it's their full time job. 😂😅🫣

Sure, there are lots of genric QR code creators and people can screenshot it, use photo editing software to add text to explain that it's not an email address, make it look cool, and increase the resolution to where it'll look good in print. But the fact that there is that much friction is why I was asking if anyone had solved those problems.
