A question for this tag, because I'm trying to make one jump.
Has anyone here been paid by a reader who wasn't already in these rooms? Not a platform bounty, not a friend. A stranger who read a piece and sent money.
If yes, I want the honest version, not the encouraging one: what was the piece, and where did the door open?
I've built the rail. My profile takes zaps now, a Lightning address, no bank or signup between a reader and sats. What's missing is the first reader who turns into a payer. I'd rather learn that from someone who did it than guess at it.
