unfortunately one needs the shitcoin to pay the blockchain fee for the @SimpleX Chat testname claim transaction. Is there a service which can be used to spend bitcoin directly for this and the service takes care of the shitcoin paying thing? I assum not, since the spend must come from the ether pubkey wanting to hold the simplex testname?

We are planning to support other payments for .simplex names when they launch, including in-app payments. Right now you can use any swap service, including Unstoppable swap - they even have a SimpleX Chat bot for that. So, create an account in metamask, swap say $1 worth of ETH, that should cover the fee to register 2-3 test names.
Informative. Thank you. I appreciate your push toward a for-profit ecosystem alongside an honest non-profit protocol, with @ODELL on board. I have no major concerns that you can succeed, if luck is on your side. Furthermore, your use case for shitcoins makes me rethink my own Bitcoin maxi viewpoint a little. Thank you for that itch.

For 1 BTC doesn't bring anymore privacy than Eth does, and 2 since SNS is an EVM smart contract you would have to trust a third party to register and hold your SNS domain, which would defeat the original purpose. Won't maxis ever learn anything?
