#asknostr: How many on-chain transactions have you sent in the last 3-days? Interested in the usage among Bitcoiners on Nostr.

Does @TollGate allow you to jump between routers without having to authenticate payments again?

“Death is nothing to us. When we exist, death is not; and when death exists, we are not. All sensation and consciousness ends with death and therefore in death there is neither pleasure nor pain. The fear of death arises from the belief that in death, there is awareness.” - Epicurus

Saw this on [thou that shalt not be named] and thought it was quite funny.

Some design thinking / prototyping on the work @npub1xy54...3urc has already done with a Nostr powered gym training app, aka POWR. We thought this was an exciting opportunity to think about creating an app for a new community of users and make use of existing network effects of Nostr. Some of the ideas included: - Ability to post your workouts to your relays (as well as existing platforms such as Strava) - Ability to select from predefined workouts (or create your own) - AI agent for premium users that gives you feedback and coaching (not fully mocked up yet) - Integrated fitness feed (see NIP-101e) to motivate and zap others What would you want in it? All zaps will be forwarded to @npub1qvum...m3rx for her excellent work on this one :-) #figma #asknostr #powr #nostr @npub1xy54...3urc @arkinox @JeffG @Terry Yiu @npub180cv...h6w6 View quoted note →

Would be nice to see GameStop do more than just stick it on the balance sheet. They could announce BTC is now the preferred method of exchange in 4,000+ stores, Bitcoin ATMs in every location, in-store sessions teaching self-custody, selling hardware wallets & building custom @npub17tyk...3mgl. Would load up @npub1864j...t2tq's somewhat :-) A Gambit for GameBit.

Waiting for a really good tool that can take Figma designs and create truly responsive and factored code.

The more I hear Trump bang on about stable-coins to uphold the value of the dollar, the more I think it's a corporate run CBDC that will be used worldwide because people will want to use the dollar over their local currency.

I would also like to express my gratitude to Rodolfo and his family at @npub1h53u...0v4p and the El Salvador healthcare system. I had (what we think was) a tic bite. Rodolfo forwarded the pictures of the bite (that had been growing for a few days) on WhatsApp to the doctor in a nearby village. They asked me to go in and see me the same day. Rodolfo took me there and translated for me (my Duolingo level of Spanish wouldn’t have cut it). The nurse logged me on the system, and then I had a consultation with the doctor a few minutes later with no queue. He was very thorough and explained the diagnosis. We then were given the antibiotics medication for which there was no charge (I have made a donation to cover the costs of the consultation and medication to Bitcoin Smiles @npub1vh5n...an97). In the UK, the appointments would be booked up for weeks (literally), unless you can convince the receptionist it’s an emergency (I would not have known), and you certainly wouldn’t be able to ping the doctor on WhatsApp to check. I am very grateful to Rodolfo, his family, and the El Salvador healthcare system. Tic bites can have Lymes disease which can be nasty if left untreated. Another +1 to El Salvador @npub1gaxa...985l and @npub1pq2l...2rew View quoted note →
