📈 One in four Americans now own bitcoin!?!

Does anyone know if / how these services are trawling NOSTR?

#Bitcoin and #LightningNetwork devs: are you working on Bitcoin scripts today? This Bitcoin scripting simulator could help loads. You can easily design and step through scripts. It even has Op codes autofill ⚡️

Are you interested in the possibilities of #BitVM? Building a #Bitcoin virtual machine could be possible, although with some important limitations. This deep dive is a really great way to get into how the tech works: https://medium.com/crypto-garage/deep-dive-into-bitvm-computing-paradigm-to-express-turing-complete-bitcoin-contracts-1c6cb05edfca

The #BreezSDK using #Greenlight has a secret sauce we've been testing all morning: Nodes can run on multiple devices that share private keys ⚡️ This will make really cool future UX, but one thing is for sure: it makes Lightning wallet recovery a breeze! Pun intended 😛

What are some of the best use cases *today* for non-custodial Lightning? For e-commerce and p2p payments, it's great. For micropayments and user rewards, there's still some tough work to be done. Every day the tech improves. We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Have you heard of .sats domain names? Websites built on the #Bitcoin Blockchain? Is this what is jamming the mempool? We dive into this and more in the current #BitcoinCommerce Roundup here:

Wallet of Satoshi just implemented a zapvertising solution: "Many have noticed a sharp increase in paid Lightning spam lately. Some love the free sats, some hate the constant notifications and spammy messages. In any case it's an interesting development in the ecosystem! ⚡️ We have just implemented a change on our server to detect payments that are likely spam. You'll still get the sats and can look at the messages in your payment history if you want, but this should help minimise unwanted notifications starting now! 🙏"

I think we're getting to the bottom of these 1 Satoshi payments / ads arriving at our nodes and the answer indeed seems to be #NOSTR trawling for lightning addresses. What do you all think of these zapvertisements? Good, bad, ugly?
