I regret this post
I'm not here to crap on nostr, I really do just want to try to help you guys and gals avoid some of the big problems we went through. I got passive-aggressive because I built a crypto thing for the Fediverse that was used for years. But nostr zapping is better integrated into the system and more people are using it than ever used my system. A large part of this is because we were doing it before Lightning Network (in my opinion) became usable so we had transaction fees and transaction clearing time usability issues so we went with making a tip bot and a custodial wallet you could easily withdraw from. We onboarded a bunch of people into crypto that had never been interested in crypto before and I've had people tell me that getting them involved had life-changing consequences for them so I'm proud of it even though comparatively only a handful of people used it.
quoting nevent1q…f88ywe were tipping people crypto 10grans tokens on the fediverse three years ago via custodial wallet and monero/eth onchain before nostr existed with mitra. being early doesn't actually matter, adoption does, but that remains to be seen as you mentioned most people have no clue. send me zaps
