Thinking of quitting my job to work full-time in Bitcoin and onboarding new users. What are some niches I could fill? Be a consultant of some kind? Sites I could make which would be useful? I have a high degree of knowledge about BTC and IT, sysadmin experience, programming, etc. #asknostr #bitcoin

Nocoiners: "bitcoin is worthless" Me: My brother in christ, it takes 100,000 USD to buy a single Bitcoin. Your USD is the thing that is worthless.

What is the best tool right now for making DAOs on Bitcoin? I know the L1 scripting abilities are pretty good, but google has not worked to find a tool for this outside of just a regular multi-sig wallet. #asknostr #bitcoin #DAOs #development

Idea for #nostr: let us tag notes. There are some publishers who I want to follow, but I don't care about, for example, their views on politics. Let me unsubscribe from their politics posts will continuing to see the rest. And maybe some mechanism for "community-voted tags" to help tag posts which aren't tagged by their author.

#asknostr My understanding is that #BOLT12 supports re-usable #bitcoin #lightning invoices. Can I make these with #zeus wallet? If I send the invoice to a #cashapp user, can they plug it into their app and send with it? Anybody able to test this? I would love to not make a separate invoice every time. #lightningnetwork

Do you have programming skills in: C++ or PHP? How about Python? Want to help scientists around the globe do open source research using the world's largest #volunteer computing network? Want to contribute to finding a cure for cancer? How about locating asteroids on a collision course with earth? Contribute to BOINC! #BOINC has been around 20 years starting from SETI@Home. It's decentralized, it's an open access system, it's fully free software connecting researchers to people who want to volunteer their computer power. And it's got a Github issue list a mile long! DM me for more info #volunteer #boinc #python #c++ #php

If your notes have no proof-of-work, I'm just gonna assume you're a bot. And if they do, I'm gonna assume you're a rich bot. #nostr

#asknostr is there a way to have multiple #zeus wallets on the same phone? Mainly just want to have identity separation for receiving zaps from two separate nostr addresses. Thanks!

@ZEUS I have followed your backup/restore instructions after getting a new phone. I closed my old channels (all using Zeus LSP), restored on new phone using phrase. My on-chain balance is showing on the new phone (yay!) but after 10 minutes I see no lightning transaction history. I need this for tax reporting purposes. Is there any way to export the transaction history or get it to populate on my new phone? Thank you for any help you can offer :)

#asknostr what is a great on-boarding resource for new users that isn't super heavy about mentioning Bitcoin? How do I get people from "twitter refugee" to "nostr user"

GM NOSTR Tip for #orangepilling: Don't say the word #bitcoin or #crypto, many people have big negative reactions to those words. Say #lightning, people have no idea what lightning is. Tell people how lightning solves their problem, play to their preconceptions, lightning is fast, it's amazing, it's easy. Pretty soon they're like wow this idea is cool. Now that they think it's cool, you can mention that all this lightning stuff happens on Bitcoin, but because it's confronting an idea they already think (lightning sounds cool!), they get way less defensive and combative, and they are inclined to agree with it because otherwise they'd have to admit they were wrong about that lightning thing. You are using their own cognitive bias against them. I have been using this to great effect telling people about #nostr #grownostr

#asknostr I have #zeus wallet and I want to onboard other #zeus users. When we first setup their wallet, is there a way for me to open a lightning channel w them with a 50/50 liquidity ratio so they actually have some inbound liquidity to work with?

#asknostr What do you use for "personal knowledge management" ie to track notes, diary, car maintenance, and other things you need to remember that are not calendar events? Does it work well? If you've tried other systems, why do you like this one better than others?
