Last Notes
You can probably vibe code one with Shakespeare.
I'm not thrilled about everything centralizing around Spark. Yeah, we use it. I even tell people to use it because it's easy. But easy doesn't mean right. The last thing I want is every Bitcoin app depending on one provider. That's literally the problem we left.
Lightning isn't perfect. Never claimed it was. But it's the best we've got right now. Maybe something better comes along, a new L2 that actually works for normal people without centralization. Maybe it's just BOLT12? Maybe it's Ark? Until then, we work within the constraints we have.
Ultimately, this is an engineering problem. We can solve it. We have Claude. We have brilliant developers. Keep building. Keep trying new things.
I'd prefer if it was a toggle. I'd even be fine with USD the standard and then we can enable sats in an advanced setting. I don't mind catering to normies but we can't forget our roots!
I choose to believe differently. Otherwise I'll be very disappointed 😬
When you send money with CashApp does it tell you about all of the banks and monetary networks that it's using? No. Money just shows up.
Most people don't care how the sausage is made, they just like how it tastes. Bitcoin is no different.
And lastly, normies don't like Bitcoin. The media has lied to them and they don't know better. Use Bitcoin as the rails as @nprofile…uh0e said years ago in his peanut analogy.
This is the way. Congratulations brother.
Given the hype, the current thing, and the colors of the Android, I assume it's Google's Android with Gemini inside. Gemini would no longer be an afterthought or a second class citizen. Google's flavor of Android would be an operating system built with Gemini/AI at the forefront. https://www.android.com/new-features-on-android/io-2026/
No mention of the Big Bad B-word anywhere, just using Lightning and Bitcoin as the monetary rails. The technology just fades into the background. I like it.

Gives clear stablecoin regulation to make you a genius. Duh.
We need less jank. That's the issue.
You're not wrong. I have made the fees argument.
It's very useful 🤓 I wish more clients implemented it
What media player is that?
Eventually, yes. Right now though, Ditto's lowest on-chain zap is $1.
@nprofile…xxx2 @nprofile…vyla @nprofile…s2k9 @nprofile…9k9u @nprofile…yrsy thoughts on this?
I actually think this is a good idea. Thoughts?
#nevent1q…70n6
I don't think it's a good idea either and I don't see myself using it, but I'm presenting a counterargument to see what others think because I'm always open to have my mind changed.
I thought this as well. Still more work to do.
I literally told my friend about it earlier today lol
Because I want Nostr to win.
Wisp. Amethyst. I don't think anything else?
this is what we already do with DMs lol
absolutely. and we should just treat it as monetary rails for them. if they want to learn more, they can. we need normie mode for the normies.
Zaps for normies.

if someone keeps a whole coin in a zap wallet then they're very different than me. i have 3K sats in my npub.cash wallet at this time.
absolutely, but again as a zap spending wallet, it's no different than what we have now publicly posting our transactions with lightning.
For two dollars worth of zaps? No. If they get a thousand dollars? Yes.
Yes. But again tracking a few dollars back and forth across the network isn't worth much when there are people sending millions of dollars to track.
We did it Nostr! Thanks for supporting this great project! 🫂🤙🏻💜

Oh I have fee concerns too. I don't really like on-chain zaps. I've told Alex this dozens of times. I just think that for a small spending wallet, accumulation or size is not an issue.
Hell yeah! Glad to hear that.
HELL YEAH BROTHER. CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉
And they could carry our notes, cryptographically signed of course.

Diabolical. Creating drama so Nostr is more lively.
Silent payments would make this better, though, I still dislike this for the fees and microtransactions arguments, but the counter argument there is don't be cheap.
1) I don't like this for different reasons. 2) however, no one is going to send 10 bitcoin to a hot public wallet. And if someone does send me, hell, even 1 bitcoin, immediately I'll transfer it to a cold wallet. The point of this wallet is a spending wallet for tips/rewards/v4v. Think of it like your checking account. It's not your savings account. 3) because of this intent, I don't think it's a big deal as you laid out. 4) most clients already show zaps as public information and zaps can be faked. We have one user that's been zapped 22M bitcoin over Lightning.

#NostrNights is back. Monday, May 11, 6–8:30 PM CT at Bitcoin Park Nashville.
Whether you've been running relays since day one or you just learned what an npub is, pull up. The best conversations in Nostr happen when the builders, the curious, and the just-showed-ups all share the same room.
RSVP: https://www.meetup.com/bitcoinpark/events/314204108
if you had issues with Ditto and Amber, try the latest version 2.3.1! you can snag it from Zapstore or Google Play. let met know if this fixes the remote signer issue for you.
