I never saw @npub1a2cw...w83a's post about this episode in my main nostr client feed because I didn't happen to open Primal or Damus in the timeframe that she shared it. What's cool about the new Fountain Nostr integration is we only surface posts related to audio - so I saw it and was able to queue up the episode - and also send Lyn a zap in the process! ⚡️ View quoted note →

The real question is the little bit where your voice comes in on this episode is it ACTUALLY you reading or did mr @Guy Swann using his AI black magic slap your voice in reading that section for fun!?

I am commenting on this on Fountain after zapping it on primal. INTEROPERABILITY, BABY.

This highlights a few of the bigger hurdles that have stymied use to an extent but also is great stuff bc we continue to see much progress and innovation. 1. Invoicing is super clunky for people just looking to pay, before you have to deal with setup, time constraints, failures, etc. - big win - have a need, hit pay. 2. Point one feeds into probably the BIGGEST win in general. “Venmo-like payment” - this is the major win. Like it or not TradFi still has the upper hand on point two (unless you are not in a developed nation w/ payment rails). Point two mixed with point one creates a massive hurdle for adoption by the masses and that is before you get to explaining what a pub/private key is, which goes where, why you need them, what happens if you expose or lose them. Then you have to get into what open-source means and why it’s important which tends to put you in the tinfoil hat land. Yes, I get it, it’s early tech, clunky and unfriendly. However, with this ability it works almost to the point a “normie” can do it. Sure there’s probably some custody involved but that’s the reality at some point. This is a great step if we are close to having payments that can compete with the seemless nature of Venmo, Zelle, ACH, etc.

don‘t you worry about fake accounts?

Great work!

This is an awesome read and amazing

This was an excellent read and listen. Thanks @npub1a2cw...w83a @Guy Swann

Some wallets are allowing Nostr connection so your follows are integrated into the wallet. I've sent people sats without actually using a Nostr client. It's pretty cool.

💯 The identity layer that #nostr is adding to the stack allows payment discovery, a much needed feature that was missing in #bitcoin wallets.

Great overview of the potential for #Nostr as much more than just an alternative to Twitter. Appreciate the insights of @npub1a2cw...w83a here and it was awesome to be able to just listen to it on my 12 mile bike ride this morning! View quoted note →

Lyn + Guy. Quality guaranteed!
