I’ve just begun experimenting with these tools, but I couldn’t agree more. Feels like it’s gonna be a big part of the solution to the dream of scalable payments View quoted note →

If you could buy a “lottery bitcoin miner” would you? the idea would be to help decentralization of mining/pools by appealing to a new type of hobbiest miner who is in it for the fun/lulz… not aiming for scaling/optimizing a mining business imagine you could pay $10/month to rent a simple bitcoin miner. Plug it in to an electrical socket at your home, connect it to wifi. maybe have some gaming mechanic related to lotto ticket scratchers, but ultimately you have a very small chance to win something very big — maybe something close to a block reward or more each week does this sound interesting? maybe it wouldn’t appeal to you, but could you imagine other people who it would appeal to? a lot of people play state lotteries. bitcoin mining has a credibly neutral “random” lottery-like reward just sayin…

I think a major use-case of nostr, (outside of social media) is for helping FOSS tools coordinate system activities better e.g. wallets need a way to figure out who’s willing to accept ecash from which mints. we need metadata about the mints to “live somewhere”

One of my favorite bitcoin YT video creators is already pretty active on nostr. Daily information on bitcoin. Sometimes about recent news, sometimes just general educational information. Usually about 6-12 minute videos that I listen to while making coffee. Give him a follow: @Matthew Kratter
