Is there a polling tool that rewards people in sats once they complete the poll?

What have you found to be the easiest way to do this?
Standing desk?
Walk every morning before doing anything?
Etc.

100% agree!
Getting involved with Bitcoin projects on the side has been really great.
I’ve also started working on a Bitcoin article of my own, which I’m excited to share with the space when it’s finished.

2023-03-03 15:07:07

The urge to quit my job so that I can think and write about Bitcoin is strong.
The funding to do so is not.
A cruel predicament, indeed.

Wen "Bitcoin, Not Crypto." clothing line?
Something simple, elegant, and to the point.
I would happily hand over some sats for this.

PV,
This morning, I’m thinking about Thomas Kuhn’s model for paradigm shifts and how it applies to Bitcoin.
What are you thinking about?

For motivated learners with some technical background, I always recommend having the Chaincode Labs self-paced seminars bookmarked.
They're fantastic resources with recommended readings, videos, and discussion questions.
They pair very nicely with Mastering Bitcoin / Mastering Lightning.

Appreciate the zap! ⚡️
Heads up, you may want to change your default zap to something less than 1,000. You can do that in settings.
For example, I’ve seen most people change their amount around 40-70 sats.

I searched their pub key on Nostr and then went to their profile. They usually have a link to a website where you can send some Sats to whitelist your pub key on their relay.
You can find the paid relay’s pub key in this article.

It took me a while, but I think I finally understand what people mean when they say “Bitcoin is the stable coin”.
These two graphs do a good job at summarizing.
⁃ Over time, all fiat currencies depreciate against gold (a stable asset)
⁃ Over time, fiat currencies take turns so to speak being the global reserve asset
Therefore, the true stable asset to hold your wealth in over time, across boarders, and regardless of who holds political power, is Bitcoin.
Stablecoins (Tether, Circle, etc.) may be filling this need right now, but they are not the long-term solution.

On Nostr, you zap ideas (posts), not just profiles (people).
This distinction makes all the difference.

At the end of the day, social media “likes” are a communication protocol for signaling value.
My hunch is that Zaps (sending Sats to the content creator) is a superior communication protocol because the medium you exchange (Sats vs likes) is of limited supply and more valuable than “likes”, thus making them a superior proxy for each individual’s true value-assessment.
This is a paradigm shift. I wonder how it impacts the general content on social media? 🤔

I should change mine. It’s $0.25 😅

I think I zapped ya back!
Quick question: Does my lnurl specify the zap amount?
That’s not something you chose, right?

Shall we go zap for zap?
I’ve never been zapped and want to make sure it works ⚡️

Can you custom zap?
From what I’ve seen, I don’t have the option to change the amount.

Interesting.
Where is this data from?

Can I choose the amount of sats I zap?

2023-02-20 19:24:23

How do I see the option to zap?
Do I need to have the test flight Damus?

Switching to paid relays only has significantly increased my user experience.
Now, my Global feed is filled with (mostly) interesting content instead of endless spam.
For those who are using paid relays, which do you recommend? I’m on wine and atlas.

2023-02-09 19:39:36

Can anyone help me understand this chart?
It looks like since inscriptions got popular, the total amount of fees for the smallest cohort (by vByte) have increased to be, roughly, on par with the other cohorts. Previously, there was a clear separation.
Wat mean?

Totally agree that setting a character count incentives people to be concise and thoughtful! I think it can add a nice structure to build your tweet around too.
That said, I’ve seen people focus on catchy tweets to get you to “click” into their thread, which is ultimately not insightful. My hope is that, by increasing the limit (or removing it), people will focus more on posting quality content that’s valuable to the reader from the start.
Time will tell!

2023-01-04 18:37:39

I’m surprised by how much I like the long-form notes on Damus, which go beyond the 280 char limit on twitter.
I always thought I didn’t really mind tweet threads, but maybe I do 🤔

Noob question here.
Damus is built on top of Nostr, so does that mean I can see a Nostr post even if it doesn’t originate from Damus?
Similar to how Gmail and Yahoo are built on top of IMAP/SMTP.

Kinda similar to Reddit badges?
