Zapping direct from my node connected via LNC on Snort Self sovereign zapping ftw thanks #[0]

More people using Bitcoin is good. People should strive to use Bitcoin non-custodially. Not mutually exclusive statements.

👏 #[0]​ for being first to bring LNC functionality into a Nostr client, think that’s a game changer for non-custodial usage 🙏🏼

Schrödinger’s relays… Sometimes on Damus, the notes don’t load and I see 2/13 in the upper right corner indicating active relays. But, when I click through to the relay page, most of them appear online and then I jump to 10/13 or something. Rinse, repeat.

lol man.. this is so fun ⚡️ who knows where it goes? but, this moment of just enjoying a new technology is so special 💜

Twitter was planning to add Lightning integration per tweet. Then, #[0]​ left and they didn’t… Along came Nostr + Zaps 👀 permissionless innovation for the win😤

In one paragraph or less, explain to a "normie" why they should use Nostr as it exists today (not taking into account future use cases yet). Normie = non-bitcoiner, someone who hasn't been deplatformed, uses Twitter for random news/entertainment, etc Basically, ELI5 why Nostr, why now. 5,000 sats zapped to the best answer.
