I’ll bite :) From the lens of “Bitcoin the invention/revolution”, it is closer to Beethoven as his music marked a big departure from the classical period (into the romantic area). However Bach is known for the mathematical precision of his compositions as well as their adherence to strict rules which mapped very well to “Bitcoin, the money backend by math (cryptography) with rules and no rulers.“

CORS issues?

Four things I can think about:
* technical knowledge barrier (most people have no idea or the will to setup, run and maintain servers)
* ISPs split upload/download speeds favoring download by far making it less favorable to self host
* incentives: people unfortunately do not value privacy enough and as soon as companies like google started to provide great centralized services (starting with gmail), everybody jumped on it and never looked back as decentralized/privacy focus solutions were just more complex to work with
* network effects: most people just use what other people use. Once centralized solution got big enough, it just got bigger from there.

Joke aside, it would be a good feature from nostr clients to warn users if it detects an nsec in the message of a note before it is posted.

I agree; having too many relays is an issue for clients. Relay like nostr.wine are good to workaround this as they themself connect to multiple relays with you only connecting to one. It is however a centralizing force as they are choosing the relay they connect to. The ideal would be a class of relays (paid likely as it would be quite ressource consuming) that you connect to and that you can configure to connect to a list of relay you choose.

#[0] In Damus, only the zap icon is clickable (to open the zap pop up) and not the text (current zap amount) next to it. When the zap amount on a note is big enough, I usually instinctively tap the center of the icon+text and that ends up tapping on the text leading to a no-op.

Copy the npub of the user, go to snort.social (can work with other nostr clients), click login (you might need to logout first in settings if you are already logged in) and paste the npub.

When I click the zap icon on a note on Damus (beta from TestFlight) the wallet selection pop up appears with an invoice already created. I don’t get to choose to sats amount (seems to default to 1000). Is this normal?

Nostr+Bitcoin allows an all-in-one and fully decentralized eBay+Yelp+OpenTable+PayPal

2023-02-26 18:54:36 UTC

This is just hitting me: nostr is not just a social network that integrate bitcoin payments, but it can be viewed also as a discoverable identity and content layer built on TOP of bitcoin. You can find stuff on it and then directly pay people for it with Bitcoin.
Nostr+Bitcoin allows a true decentralized marketplace by providing decentralized payments, decentralized content/listings, decentralized messaging. This unlocks the circular economy we need around Bitcoin to take it to the next stage of adoption!
