Phew, dude, phew. Just finished the second book of the trilogy today and it turned out so sick. So freakin' sick. I literally got goosebumps myself.
Wachowski sisters ain't got shit on me!

I just started the most SAIF project ever today. There's literally no project in the world that could be more SAIF than this. Haha, I know I've been ranting against this term, but if no one can give me a clear definition of 'SAIF' and just keeps defining it abstractly in complicated terms differently each time, then I'm coming with my own interpretation of 'SAIF'. Something concrete.
Specifically, a book or screenplay project for a monumental trilogy. Like 'The Matrix' but much better. It has everything in it. Storytelling, culture, action, technology, suspense, science fiction... you name it. I finished the first volume of the trilogy today. 2 more to go. And then they'll be revised several times. And then I'll give them to you to read.
And when AI becomes more advanced, I'll use this as a screenplay for a movie,
إن شاء الله.
And you can join in on the narrative, the storytelling. Expand the story, make it even more monumental. It could become a distributed, decentralized community project. There's definitely enough potential for that.
Or you can just ignore it and do nothing, and my efforts will simply vanish. I don't care. I'm just planting the seed, وَلِلّهِ الْحَمْدُ. Whatever comes out of this is neither under my control, nor is it my responsibility.
Hollywood's and Netflix's message is usually the perversion of truth. For real, almost every time. And what the Turks and Arabs produce is mostly embarrassing low-quality garbage too. Also not immune to materialism.
It's time that some real filmmakers emerge from our ranks who can convey the truth to our children and teenagers. Because filmmaking itself isn't bad. It's the continuation of the ancient human tradition of storytelling. The message just needs to become clean and true again.
Ironically, Grok has been getting pretty funny lately. Upholding unbiased justice no matter what. And not just in this matter. What are they going to do now? Corrupt the AI to benefit political profiteers? Or continue to focus on logic and truth?

A new version of ZapStar💫 is out with a "Zap back" button next to each npub in the top 20 list of zappers. This means you can thank your top zappers by zapping them back directly from the ZapStar app.
For this to work, the NWC string is requested and stored in a variable.
- It's never written to your or the webserver’s hard drive.
- It's not saved in localStorage or sessionStorage.
- As soon as you close the browser tab, do a hard refresh, or navigate to another page, this variable and the NWC string are permanently deleted.
If you don't believe it, the GitHub repository has permanent links showing exactly how the NWC string is handled.
1. Storing the String (Line 4):
This is where the sessionNwcURI variable is declared, which only holds the string in memory during your session.
https://github.com/77elements/ZapStar/blob/1c3b4728ace114aeec253e350bbac894f9a909e2/js/zap.js#L4
2. Querying and Assigning the String (Line 286):
This is the exact line where the string entered by the user is written to the variable.
https://github.com/77elements/ZapStar/blob/1c3b4728ace114aeec253e350bbac894f9a909e2/js/zap.js#L286
3. Using the String (Line 293):
This is the line in initiateZap where the string is retrieved from the session variable to initiate the payment. The string isn't sent anywhere else.
https://github.com/77elements/ZapStar/blob/1c3b4728ace114aeec253e350bbac894f9a909e2/js/zap.js#L293
Feedback is always welcome.

I said something pretty similar about a year ago or so, and the reactions ranged from just shrugging it off to straight-up laughing at me. All that "We're so different, we're free spirits" attitude. But he's right. Someday everyone's gonna get caught totally off guard. We're still flying under the radar for now, but for how much longer?

I updated ZapStar so it shows the relays that got queried now. Man, that was a tough nut to crack.

Ok, after lots of tries (sorry for any spam on your timeline), you can now share your Top-20 Zapper list on Nostr if you want to. You can choose to show the Sat amounts when sharing or not.
