This may sound silly/naive, but I'm not happy about the sudden Monero pump.
It doesn't do *any* good in the long run.

Remember not to swap XMR to something, using centralized swappers/exchanges, which will send their databases to Chainalysis.
Buy something directly:

Please explain to me how it is that: I can't zap (send) 1000 sats to stacker.news using Lightning Network.
Zeus wallet + opened a channel with Zeus node which has 68 active channels.
Tell me, dear Bitcoin enthusiasts, what am I doing wrong?

The much simpler answer here is - convenience.
As soon as a user of any other coin starts using Monero, there is elation, surprise, cognitive dissonance.
Why?
Because Monero simply works, and does not require the user to dance with tambourine to... work.
You don't have to watch the mempool to "send the transaction correctly" (as you do with Bitcoin). Also, you don't need to use centralized CoinJoins, or the CoinJoins who worked with Chainalysis before...
You don't need to play with "shielding" / mixing or any other secret tambourine dances of the "we-have-better-tech" tribe.
Monero wallet fees are "Automatic", and you usually pay 0.015 USD ~ 0.04 USD fees per on-chain transaction, and you get: privacy by default = convenience.
There is a great service - @btcmap. If you are in a city where BTC is accepted, check if they will accept XMR from you?
It may be that you will be refused, sometimes even aggressively (yes, there are inadequate merchants who accept Bitcoin).
But there is also a chance (and it is big) that they will accept XMR as an exception.
Also, you can always offer your help to the merchant to set up a Monero wallet.
So, the person who wonders why Zcash is not used as a payment method - he doesn't realize that ZEC is no different from other "ordinary" coins.
And the "shielding" feature... well, look at the number of shielded transactions and you will understand everything.
No hate towards Zcash. I just don't use it.

>>> Any tips/recommendations for starting?
Well, don't install software just for the sake of installing software.
That is, if you need synchronization between your devices, then look for software that will solve your problem. In this example Syncthing will solve your problem. But, if you don't need to have synchronization - don't just install some software.
If you need any specific software for a specific task, don't hesitate to ask.

Because you need to monetize your work, and you need to show potential advertisers the numbers of how many "eyes" the ad will catch.

Bitcoin maxis were yelling at me that "nAw itZ maCH BetAr!1!"
It's not.
Decided to try it one more time + their other recent tech.
I have Zeus wallet (on GrapheneOS) with an embedded Lightning node (LND), and I've opened a channel with a pretty big and stable LN node.
So, as you can see, I was trying to do it in the "proper" way. Or maybe, is the proper way when both have a Wallet of Satoshi?
Merchant obviously tried to get these BTC from me. He was generating invoices, something looked in the wallet settings, and all four times I got the error that is on the screenshot.
I paid with cash, and left.

Today I tried 4 times to pay for ice cream using a phenomenal crutch called Lightning Network.
And I always got the error you see in the screenshot.
Even though the merchant was using Wallet of Satoshi (essentially an Excel version of Bitcoin), that is, even with this level of centralization it was not possible to take advantage of this wonderful technology.
Explained to him that with Monero he would have no problems with on-chain payment, that the fees on the network are $0.02 dollars + privacy by default.
He said he would create an XMR wallet.

I don't need to read a book from an author who is part of this system (and who wasn't paid by his sponsors and maybe turned in 0.0001% of their stuff) and now is also the "official" face of this fucking bureaucratic system to realize that everyone in *any* government is a psychopath.

Strongly different from other Nostr web clients, and doesn't try to be like Twitter or other familiar UIs. I'm not saying this is good or bad. Just a fact.
But I'll definitely be using it for a while.

So far, the situation with Nostr clients reminds me of:
1. the number of Linux distros, package managers, package formats, and other "reinventions of the bicycle";
2. the situation with the dead and useless Matrix protocol and its clients;
I like that there are tools like Nos2x (https://github.com/fiatjaf/nos2x) and that I can test different web clients without having to risk my private. And also Amber (https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber).
This post was sent from the Rabbit web client (https://rabbit.syusui.net/#/), which is a bit like Twitter Deck.
