So, having 24+ tools and a donation page with a Silient payment section.
Of 1 year of having this address online (avb@....) it has receiver 4 donations.
Two of which was myself testing the system. And two people that sat across a table from me and wanted to see how it worked (after I donated to them).
There is close to zero real life organic adoption so far for silent payments. And that's just a damn shame.
what's the main reason for this I ask myself.
Too little use cases? (I don't believe that).
Too small number of implementations in wallets? (sure)
Too complex?
In any case, I was wondering if other bitcoiners saw the same lack of action on the Silent Payments channel?
page.
Especially the DeNMS was updated to support direct image generation and decryption.
The blossom server links were removed, as ALL three blossom servers were either unstable or unavailable at times,... it's just not professional enough to work with in a reliable way for the purpose of encrypted communication. (nostr itself is fine of course, still running as intended).
Whenever the normies will start to use Bitcoin ad a real life saving safe haven, that moment everything in fiat will collapse so fast.
The trigger will only happen when people are at 'tree-bark soup' making level of despair.
Episode 166 incoming.
Decided to do no marketing anymore, as it's up to the community to share and like.
If no one shares it, then now one will listen. You can't beat free.
Utter free market.
So explain me... I've tested to zap myself some sats, even through my own nostr client.
It all worked 2 days ago. (both on zaps.lol as NIP5 "provider" (just a DNS entry) and then on nostrsplebs.
Both translated the address and delivered the sats to my actual LN address.
Now, two days later, nothing works.
I really don't get how this nostr+LN thing, after using it for 3+ years keeps failing every few weeks at minimum. There is zero redundancy or stability in your setup ever. And it's frustrating because I test my s*** and it worked.
Just watched a bit of the Strategy World event :) they should have put a laugh track under most of it. Never heard so much pseudo finance mumbo-jumbo in such a short time since the WorldCom general meetings :)
nostrplebs' NIP05 implementation abolutely sux
But then again, I tried 5 of these "services" and none of them actually work properly; let alone edit your address afterwards.
And if you send a message about a bug, no one ever replies :)
nostr is such a jungle
What Knots wants to do is like building a second city of Las Vegas, 100 miles away, then call it Las Vegas as well. Where they'll only allow honest people to get in, have no airport, no drugs and no alcohol or hookers, but still have a representation of casino’s there (except from the ones the gatekeepers don’t like).
When everything’s built and set up however, they’d be surprised that there’s only 200 people showing up with their mom, drinking sparkling water and playing blackjack with monopoly money.
"Time is his enemy not ally, and it always wins in the end. The pose can only hold so long. You can’t keep scoring free fiat, without either die on low valuation and dilution, or without at least 20 other Strategy-grade businesses jumping in to take their piece of the pie.
So far, surprisingly, none of these two things happen."
