shares why he's excited about #nostr in his interview on "The current state of social media and indeed the broader internet is woeful. Most users are trapped in an attention casino, with their data and eyeballs being harvested without their consent. In return, they are rewarded with ragebait, with the algorithms tracking their every scroll and click, reinforcing the toxic feedback loop of doom scrolling. Nostr is an opportunity to break out of the attention economy cycle, into one based on reputation, web-of-trust, and direct creator-consumer transactions." #LightningNews #Nostr #AviBurra https://lightning.news/avi-burras-interview-nostr-attention-casino/

Lolli Enables Lightning Network Withdrawals Pamela December 10, 2025 Bitcoin rewards platform Lolli announced that Lightning Network withdrawals are now live for users. The update marks a milestone in the company’s restructuring following its acquisition by Thesis earlier in the year, aiming to address long-standing user demands for faster and cheaper access to earned rewards. Who is Lolli? Founded in 2018 by Alex Adelman and Matt Senter, Lolli is a rewards application that allows users to earn sats when shopping online at partner retailers. In July 2025, Lolli was acquired by Thesis, a venture studio that builds Bitcoin-native projects such as Mezo and Fold. Following the acquisition, Lolli focused on upgrading its infrastructure to support a “circular Bitcoin economy” and expanding its services globally. Why Lightning Withdrawls Prior to this update, Lolli users faced high withdrawal minimums (e.g., 30,000 sats) and slow processing times associated with on-chain transactions or with the recently integrated Mezo sidechain. To make the platform update, BTC withdrawals had additionally been suspended on the platform since July of 2025. By implementing withdrawals on Lightning, Lolli can offer: Lower costs: Fees are reduced, making it economically viable for users to withdraw smaller amounts of Bitcoin. Speed: Settlement takes seconds rather than the minutes or days associated with traditional banking or on-chain transfers. Control of earned rewards: This feature provides a simpler way for users to move their funds off the platform and into their own wallets, a capability users had requested for years. How to Withdraw The process requires a Lightning-compatible wallet (such as Wallet of Satoshi, Phoenix, Breez, or Alby). To withdraw funds, users must follow these steps: Add a Lightning address (formatted like an email, e.g., [email protected]) to their Lolli account. Select “Lightning” as the withdrawal method. Specify the amount of sats to withdraw or select the “Max” button to withdraw the full balance. Confirm the transaction to receive funds in seconds.
