The app ID?!? Seriously? On Android, it's rather hard to figure out the appID of installed apps. Who cares? Can you share some official letter complaining about the appId?

Easy switching as in the video is great but allow the user to include more than one fiat in the cycle. For zaps, sats is the standard. For retail, fiat, for trading BTC.

OGs ... selling ... to startle suits? Sure ...

For me, brigading means that somebody posts on Facebook to get his followers to reply to something he didn't like on Twitter. Somebody brings his brigade to influence an opinion. If now these followers stay on Twitter to spread the word about something they genuinely like, it's not brigading anymore. Now if people that follow chime in where he chimes in here on nostr, that might also feel like brigading but I don't see that happening to any degree that would feel unnatural. I follow several eToken developers and clearly they spread the word but extremely respectful and not in a way that would drown opposing opinions which brigading often does.

Brigading? Where? eCash has very specific tradeoffs and is not self-custodial and the makers who promote eTokens don't hide that.

Oh, right. They "mention" pubkeys and events. But still, zaps are more expensive.

I'm not convinced that bigger operations necessarily are more short term oriented. They are however more profit driven. A solo-miner will probably have much lower stakes than a big operation renting several warehouses. Also the solo-miners are much more heterogeneous as they don't have the resources to do all the last tricks to optimize their earnings. Merged mining, MEV, things like that are probably out of scope for them while big operations invent products and play politics. Now solo miners do usually mine with pools that do all these shenanigans and I don't see how to shift the incentives away from pools but as long as the switching costs are low, pools might not be a big problem anyway. Miners that want to do the right thing will switch if some pool(s) turn out to be evil.

I prefer an emoji over a 1sat zap. The latter is so much heavier on those poor servers. Isn't anybody thinking of them servers? 🤷‍♂️

Is that what they call false-flag-operations? 🤔

You're not in England? Apparently they are getting strong-armed to do this and I'm nervous what nostr will do to navigate around this blanket KYC BS.

Don't need a giant crystal ball for that. I had smoke in my office from a 7cm ball.

Bitcoin economies turn more circular one merchant at a time so it's kind of the same thing. If you live in Lugano and can pay everything with Bitcoin, that's great but the degree to which a bakery in Lugano helps with bitcoin adoption in Germany is close to zero. Lugano is a great story to convince a bakery in Springfield but Amazon accepting Bitcoin would probably help more.

Apparently I have to reply through the app to be eligible for the reward? That means it won't integrate naturally in my timeline reading. I can't just follow "generous" accounts and reply/like/share their posts.

The biggest whales feed on the smallest animals in the ocean and TIL: Black holes feed on gas and almost not at all on planets or stars. 🤔

Via bunker.

I think it's gradual. At kindergarten, "friend" is the default. At school you get more selective. After university it gets hard to meet people and at some age, you decide to never pardon some friends or family and stupid stuff like that.

I so far was not getting any of this in Germany. Maybe X filed me as Chilean? I find it problematic if all of Bitcoin Xitter abandoned X for Nostr. Nostr is just a circle jerk with all users using Bitcoin already.
