what is the closest thing to a discord replacement that nostr currently has?

I don't get it. How can you get rugged by a DNS provider? If you own the domain, you point it any DNS provider you want, right?

We're positioning ourselves as someone who can tell when a Nostr post was written by chatGPT..!

We are working on a campaign to onboard normies to Nostr. We need the most succinct possible page which is like "Make money from zaps by using Nostr!" -- this is the starting point -- https://docs.megalithic.me/using-rizful/your-first-steps-with-rizful/ -- if anyone has any comments/suggestions for this page pls let us know

DNS issues seem to be fully fixed. Probably a lot of users might not have noticed an issue anyway -- if our IP addresse(s) were cached locally.

Rizful.com and Rizful NWC is experiencing intermittent downtime over the last hour or so. This is not related to our systems, but seems to be a (very rare) outage from our DNS provider -- you can see the status here: https://dnsimple.statuspage.io/ Messing with DNS is not fun or recommended, and actually switching DNS often takes a few hours or days -- so we're going to "do nothing". Apologies.

Did some experiments. There are a variety of bad options, but the main question was 1) how do we have our user pay very small amounts with very low fees 2) what is going to be compatible with what our user wants ... after some experimentation we came to the same conclusion that Block has ( https://www.stablecoininsider.com/cash-app-stablecoin-payments/ ) -- basically that Solana is the "best of the worst" if you want to touch stablecoins. Tron's fee structure is an outright scam where they want you to "stake" Tron in order to send with reasonable fees.

Please educate yourself on the tradeoffs of WoS "self-custody" before you use it -- it really means "self-custody" from a LEGAL standpoint for WoS. IMO it's considerably less safe than other services, especially due to the risk of seizure or KYC by LightSpark, an American company. More details: https://github.com/buildonspark/spark/issues/64

just zapped you but latency was probably about 8 to 10 seconds, which isn't great -- but if you're self-hosting that might be an acceptable tradeoff

It should be faster, cheaper, and more straightforward than Boltz. But Boltz is a lot more sophisticated and is likely the right choice if u are running your own lightning node.

You can now "swap" on-chain BTC to Lightning, and Lightning to on-chain BTC, using a free Rizful account. This should be so easy that no tutorial is needed, but just in case.... https://docs.megalithic.me/rizful-tips-and-tricks/swap-onchain-to-lightning https://docs.megalithic.me/rizful-tips-and-tricks/swap-lightning-to-onchain

"forgot to renew" -- that is your DOMAIN provider, not your DNS provider, right?

Nice idea, but the issue is that Tether would have to decide that they actually want to do this. And right now, Solana and Tron rails are good enough for them, I think.

My feeling recently -- since I run some fiat businesses -- is to, whenever I'm about to pay someone, just harass them a bit about paying in bitcoin -- like "You want me to pay you with PayPal, but here, look how crap this exchange rate is, how about your provide a Lightning address instead?" .... 92% of the time they tell me to fuck off and want PayPal. But if a normie hears that request 10 times over 10 years, eventually a lightbulb might go on...

Two options. 1. Make money by replying to GMs 2. Post your own GMs that covers everything, right!??
