I’m gonna make a book called “The Price of Today” and it’s just gonna be a collage of cope posts during bear markets

Apparently I did well with this one. Can leave happy

🍆 is now my favorite reaction t y @Wisp

We did something special this morning... The first known "Zap Out" of a real physical product sold exclusively over Nostr and settled entirely on Bitcoin rails. It wasn't a mock checkout. It was a real merchant controlled npub, a real product, a real buyer controlled npub, and real sats. We worked through loading states. We hit errors. We found a bug. We fixed it. And @Oshi , the freedom tech pioneer that he is, stuck with me until we got it done. Here's what happened: ⚡ @Oshi published a product for sale on Nostr. ⚡ I discovered it through Conduit. ⚡ I assembled a cart client-side. ⚡ A Lightning invoice was generated through the merchant's zap endpoint. ⚡ I paid it. ⚡ The merchant did not need to be online, logged in, or present at checkout. The merchant published sellable state once... the buyer completed the purchase later. No marketplace custody. No payment processor in the middle. No platform holding funds. Just Nostr for identity, discovery, and commerce. Lightning for settlement. A completely asynchronous, peer-to-peer checkout flow... this is what open protocol commerce looks like. One small step for @Oshi. One giant leap for freedom tech. 🧡⚡

Ghost - The Professional Publishing Platform

Ghost: The best open source blog & newsletter platform

Beautiful, modern publishing with email newsletters and paid subscriptions built-in. Used by Platformer, 404Media, Lever News, Tangle, The Browser,...

is an open source MIT project that could easily have Nostr features added. Clone their repo, and see where this first prompt leads you 👇 "Explore how Ghost’s existing social web publishing layer works, especially ActivityPub/Bluesky syndication, and identify the smallest clean path to add Nostr as another publishing target. Start by mapping the relevant codepaths, extension points, data models, and tests, then propose a minimal first implementation for publishing Ghost posts as Nostr events without changing core identity, comments, or payments yet." Who knows, maybe you submit a PR and we all get behind it? Showing them how dead it is here and how they totally shouldn't do it. At a minimum I'm gonna be building a webhook for it that auto publishes Nostr long form events. For our own use.
