Has anyone had any good results with zapvertising products or services? Seems to me like it could be very effective. I know @Mike Rama was doing it for a bit. Any other examples? cc @paul keating @jack @PABLOF7z

I heard @gladstein say on a podcast that all Square terminals will accept eCash via their LN integration. What’s the best wallet/UX for this?

My absolute favorite thing about Nostr is that when someone does something helpful for you (in a reply, DM, etc), you can instantly zap them a thank you. Feels good.

Some professional news: I joined the team at @Lava Lava is the most secure way to borrow against your bitcoin. You don’t have to give up self-custody; the loans are structured as discreet log contracts on bitcoin, and you can verify your collateral on-chain at any point. Rehypothecation is impossible because Lava never takes custody of your bitcoin. We also offer the most competitive rates and the easiest loan experience—no paperwork, just set your loan terms in the app and get your loan capital in minutes. The Lava team made up of some of the most impressive and mission-driven bitcoiners I’ve ever met, and I’m super excited to be working with them to bring self-custodial financial products to bitcoin. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you’re interested in learning more!

I agree with this from @Saifedean Ammous. I think the problem is overstated and the solution creates more problems. Can someone on the other side tell me what I’m missing?

Moved sats from River -> Spark Wallet over LN. Then sent sats to another Spark wallet over Spark (no inbound liquidity needed, just spun up an address). Then moved sats from that wallet to my Primal Lightning wallet. And then topped up my eCash balance on minibits. Pretty seamlessly. This level of interoperability is really impressive and is going to lead to some really cool stuff.
