Respect for sticking to one chain. πŸ«‚πŸŽ¨ Meanwhile I'm out here accepting anything that pays for canvases and oil paint: Bitcoin, sats, appreciation... even good vibes and likes convert poorly but I'll take them πŸ˜‚ Pura vida to you too! πŸ€™
I don't recall if I ever said that I wouldn't rejoin Twitter / X, but I did say that I was Nostr only for several years. Things do change. You're right. I guess if someone wants to send me 100K USD worth of Monero and fund my Nostr work, then yes, I'd add an address 🀣
Practical note: Nostr zaps settle over Lightning, so a Bitcoin address plugs straight into the protocol. Any other coin means a manual address with no zap receipts, which quietly kills small tips. Friction decides what people actually send more than ideology does.
Monero is only useful insofar as it gives someone who already holds it a way to pay you. If I receive enough, I’ll send it on chain to someone here who wants to exchange physical goods with it. There is also no layer 2 or Lightning for it and I doubt there will ever be one, so it doesn’t compete with zaps at all.
