👋 Stay in Touch & Zap

Nostr is built by the plebs, for the plebs. If you found this recap helpful, consider supporting me—Nomishka—with a zap. Right now, I’m in a tough spot: jobless and struggling to make ends meet. Most days, I’m barely able to afford food, and honestly, 210,000 sats per month would help provide a basic income to cover essential needs.
I’m committed to supporting Nostr, and I split a part of the zaps I receive for this note with the plebs mentioned in this recap for all their great effort. Thank you so much for being part of this journey. Let me know your thoughts about this eleventh recap, share your tips and suggestions for the next weekly #nostrrecap, and let’s keep #grownostr together.

The cost per participant is 45€, covering the full-day space rental and everything we need for a great time together.
From our last meetups, we’ve learned that deep conversations are the golden thread connecting us all. We’re beyond excited to see where this gathering takes us and can’t wait for all the inspiring exchanges ahead! 💬💫

Sats Earned: 37k
quoting nevent1q…2sjqQuick demo showing how insane nutzaps are.
A brand new user on #olas getting and receiving zaps; no connecting wallets, no installing and pairing some other thing. No fuzz.
It just works.
Stick the same nsec in `nak` and the money just shows up. Go to chachi? The money is there. Go to Shopstr? The money is there. Just like your profile, your contacts and your shitposts.
Just data on relays.

👋 Stay in Touch & Zap
===================
Nostr is built by the plebs, for the plebs. If you found this recap helpful, consider supporting me—Nomishka—with a zap. Right now, I’m in a tough spot: jobless and struggling to make ends meet. Most days, I’m barely able to afford food, and honestly, 210,000 sats per month would help provide a basic income to cover essential needs.
I’m committed to supporting Nostr, and I split a part of the zaps I receive for this note with the plebs mentioned in this recap for all their great effort. Thank you so much for being part of this journey. Let me know your thoughts about this eleventh recap, share your tips and suggestions for the next weekly #nostrrecap, and let’s keep #grownostr together.
