How the fuck does @Vitor Pamplona manage to pump out #Amethyst updates at this rythm? Coder goes #brrrr

You heard it here first - #Zapathon is a consumist festivity promoted by Big #Bitcoin and goes against honest #Zaps

So this is like a circlejerk but throwing money at each other, right? #Zapathon

I invoke thee #zapathon #zaps

This is my first #Zapathon. My fingers hurt. Send help.

Hey guys! A quick #asknostr question and a bit of a story. Not long ago I met a Congolese kid on #Telegram, from an impoverished part of the DRCongo. I've been wanting to help him and send him money for a while. He first offered to use #WesternUnion, or directly a #SWIFT transfer, but I have serious privacy concerns regarding both of those methods. Plus, obscene fees. I offered to send him #crypto (preferably #Monero, but #Bitcoin or #zaps would work as well), but he forwarded two messages (two different wallet addresses) from accounts easily recognizable as international crypto #scammer accounts. Could be that this kiddo works for them or, more likely based on his behaviour, that they are trying to take advantage of him. Keeping in mind all of this, I'm trying to setup something for him so HE can receive crypto (any of the aforementioned currencies), and so he can easily and relatively cheaply convert that crypto into either #USD or #CDF (Congolese Francs) in his Fnbank (FirstBank, I believe) account. He has access to an #Android smartphone - receiving crypto is the easy part. I'm a bit of a newcomer to this level of involvement with the crypto world, so I'd love some help on how to set this up. Tagging @Max DeMarco as your African Revolution documentary partially inspired me (plus, you might have some useful contacts for this). Thanks everyone!

I can't help you with dinner MOM, people are WRONG on the INTERNET!!1!11!!!! #shitpost

A question for #crypto enthusiasts in #nostr (so, #nostr in general) Are there any solutions (viable or theoretical) proposed for blockchain scalability issues? Aside from centralizing solutions such as L2 networks or pruned nodes supported by full nodes. I'm guessing that a public blockchain such as #Bitcoin could theoretically be consolidated, fully "cleaned" and restarted, right? What about private chains such as #Monero? Were a blockchain to have to support the amount of transactions made by the banking system today, the chain would grow exponentially (not to speak if it completely replaced hard cash transactions as well), and betting all on storage cheapening in my precoiner mind does not cut it, altough I'm open to explanations. #asknostr #cryptocurrency
