Yup. Adding it to @nprofile…65ny for card payments was essential for normie onboarding and checkout flows.

It's to allow AI models to interface with external systems they're not necessarily familiar with. With Shopstr's MCP implementation, an agent would be able to query the marketplace and autonomously create a Nostr identity, browse, search, and purchase products with Bitcoin and fiat.

What's the point of closed source when any competitor can copy your entire startup at the click of a button?
Going all-in on open source shows more of the confidence that you have in your brand, distribution, and maintenance/customer support ability, which is what matters in the end when the cost of building drops to zero. Sure it gets easier to copy a product, but that can help you to find issues and resolve them along with the copiers. The product itself is also becoming less and less important; brand identity and community is key.
Security vulnerabilities are also somewhat more enticing/rewarding to find if you're unaware of what's running behind the scenes imo, so being closed source could be more of liability in that case.

I must be exposed to all the course grifters on the internet... 😅 General educational content is cool, I moreso mean like finance courses and that area of online community groups.

It's not wrong, I would just bet most course sellers are a net drain on productivity and capital than they are a benefit. Good for them for figuring out how to capitalize on the attention personally, though.
And I completely agree on the second point. The wrapping should be normie friendly/accessible with freedom on the backend or in tandem. That's the angle we're taking with @nprofile…65ny right now to grow.

Was thinking more VC-type companies, but also applies to rent-seeking lifestyle businesses. Course selling and the like is a form of selling out in my eyes. Artisan, handmade, local, etc. goods and services fall out of that camp for sure though.

In the short term it encourages rapid iteration, but in the long term it encourages selling out too soon.

It's fantastic. Changed my framing on some aspects of capitalism and innovation.

It does have multipayment support options. I'm sure a Lightning standard could be added to it similar to how Shopify has different payment options at checkout. Getting that spec merged would probably be a hassle though... 😅

2026-02-17 23:25:59 UTC

There is definitely a way to make it pipe into the data models for the standard. Seems mostly like an interface to easily map to structured ecommerce data.

I believe I set the event loads to not fetch listings past a certain date for performance along with deleting old cache, which is probably the issue if they're showing up in other clients. I'll look into getting that resolved.
