Enjoy!
Because they are not a protocol..
Because they are all lame. Welcome!
Thanks Daniel!
can you explain? :)
Cuz most other apps would use fiat and that requires permissions and banking licenses for koney transmission.
bitcoin ftw
Nostr is (trying to be) a decentralized protocol built on public key cryptography, not a central company or server. This allows zaps because there is no intermediary to block transactions, take fees, or control the user's identity and data.
Not only #zaps with lightning but any other shit.. crypto or type of payment if needed.
Every client that runs on nostr is a different experience for many reasons and dev choices and because of how nostr works.
Explore it as there's so many Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays to discover.. 💜

thanks for the breakdown 🙏 excited to explore
So cool to hear that!! 💜⚡IMO, there's no other socials, just censor platforms. 🙏🧡
This is the only “real” social. Welcome home.
You are welcome I suggest Amethyst as phone app to explore thousands of different features in the same app. Be always careful to put your keys in random clients..
Indeed, we're all free individuals. The reason theres so much bullshit regulations and licenses for currency is because its all debt and liabilities all the way down. When money is actually as such its final settlement no matter what. Dont need to know you or care about shit about you, if I wanna send you value I can just do it as easily as possible.
unstoppable money.
🙏
holy shit you guys are on nostr now?!? customer for life as of now. you do take bitcoin payments, too, right? i think @jack mallers said you do?
we sure do. have something special cooking for our Bitcoin & nostr friends 🙏
wow 1664 sats is like $1.19. don't spend it all in one go.
You are doing great ⚡

Welcome
If you'd like some help about this weird protocol we call NOSTR I wrote some guides here:
I would start with this one here for some basic concepts:
If you have questions, the tag #asknostr is a good place to start.
If you want to write a brief hello, use the #introductions hashtag to allow people to find and welcome you.
Enjoy freedom speech and money.

Hello all 😃! Please could you zap me? I will send back all (just to test the LN address)

Taste the sweet nectar
Freedom money hits different
First time every time

Because most social networks were made for companies
Nostr is for people
Most social networks were made for companies and their ad revenue.
Experience the direct support difference on Nostr.
