Pay with Bitcoin using layer-2 The Electrum App offers @lightning swaps from multiple providers, who compete on fees and liquidity to make sure that your channels always remain usable. The beauty of this? It is trustless and permissionless: Anyone can become a swap provider and earn fees.

A lot of things are possible with Electrum plugins. Since version 4.6, third-party plugins can be distributed as ZIP files, and installed by users at runtime. Maybe #nostr could be used as a plugin distribution channel? Think of a decentralized AppStore powered by web of trust.

Plugins — Electrum 4 documentation

The next release of Electrum will support 'Submarine Payments', where you pay to an on-chain address using your lightning funds.

Nostr is what Ethereum tried to achieve: decentralize all the things.

Thank you @Bitfest @Nind for organizing this great event. Bitcoin and Nostr are the perfect match!

It's a pity that I could not join the Deep Dive podcast. Nevertheless, they did an extraordinary job at explaining Proof-of-burn. I am deeply impressed. 🤖

Hello Manchester ☀️ #bitfest #nostrshire

Abusing zaps for Proof of Burn: I set my zap address to x@notary.electrum.org If you zap me, the funds will go to the bitcoin miners. The notary will publish a #proofofburn event (kind 30021) that contains a Bitcoin txid and a Merkle branch.

Nostr Proof-of-Burn demo available:

And yes, you can steal sats from this service :-)
