Ive been streaming on zs since day one. I’ve watched the site grow and develop to the nice looking layout (and still getting better) of what it looks today.
My take on it might be kind of controversial. But I don’t think the site will grow significantly (in terms of users) in the short term. No matter how much publicity it gets, YouTube is the first one that people will go to. Slowly but surely, YouTube will drive itself out of the road, and people will come in due time, either to zapstream or other alternatives.
That being said. The site has immense potential, if you’re consistent you can get tons of sats, sometimes might be less, sometimes might be more, so is the nature of tipping. You either need to have a massive amount of followers that tip you, or have a less followers but that are constantly tipping to turn a profit.
IMO it will be nice to implement a revenue stream per minute (like fountain has) per each minute 10 sats will be sent to the streamer (for the sake of example) and this ofc will have to be configured by the streamer for more “premium” or “personalized” content.
Overall, I think is a great alternative for a hobby or if you’re streaming In twitch or other sites, at least make zapstream one of those. You can even restream from zap.stream to the other platforms if you so choose.

YouTube seems like building on sand. In fact, all centralize media is like building on sand.
You can grow and put 100s or even thousands of hours, but in the end is only a matter of time for you to be in the “wrong” side of the road, for the algos don’t care about you, and neither do the ones at the top of them.

If she wants usdt she might be living in a place that needs the short term “stability” so in that case I’d use something like people mention, aqua or blink wallet.
If she uses something like binance or kraken, they can receive and sell bitcoin to usdt right on the spot (I’ve a friend that lives in Venezuela and for stuff like this is what I do) but I use strike. It will also send fiat through lightning so I don’t have to bother with exchanges rates.

I see people complaining of why #nostr has so many shitcoiners, and other things not related to what they’re use to seeing here.
Here is the thing, that’s a good thing, it means that the protocol is growing in content and different kinds of folk.
If you continue to see content that YOU don’t like then you’re following the wrong npubs. The fact that diversity is introduced into the protocol should be considered a good thing, no matter if you agree with it or not.
Of course, what did you expect from a permissionless protocol after all? Your echo chamber will be broken, if you so choose to. That’s the beauty, you have the choice to say no because you create your feed.
A complain about people complaining gotta give you an idea

Binance is restricted in Venezuela. Told a friend to download @npub1ajl…zx3q. Hopefully he can get it working and pay its bills (USDT is big there). Hopefully someday he will live in the #Bitcoin standard, and if he does he surely will be ahead of many here in the US

True, just kicking the balls before they speak. Might be cool to add a trusted friend to some sort of nsec identity checker within the protocol. Like a short seed phrase for backup of your identity without exposing any details.
Or maybe some kind of nip05 change tied to this seed phrase but all within the protocol no need to self host a website

The impostor could do that too tho 🤔

2024-08-12 18:06:26 UTC

If your #nostr Nsec gets compromised and you have to created another one. What will be one thing that the real you (with a new nsec) would do to differentiate from the impostor (hypothetically speaking you don’t want to dox yourself)?

Hmm, that would be a little harder to implement (maybe?)

2024-08-10 06:45:59 UTC

Haven’t seen any client doing this but:
An option to show repost X times and don’t show it anymore, or hide it behind a “would you like to see the same mf post again?”, would be nice.
It gets kinda annoying to see the timeline full of the same reposts, or idk. Maybe 1K+ following is not enough now 😂

Nice. Another way to make it better is to folded in $100 bills and dip it 100% plant base protein cheese (not the real kind you know, the fake one that doesn’t say cheese in the packaging)

2024-08-07 13:56:16 UTC

First step. Make WhatsApp ( a shitty spyware app for instant messaging that’s controlled by the US) illegal to use.
Second step. Bring everyone to WeChat or telegram (another one but controlled by China or Russia, which is well aligned with the C word)or created a bananistic version of it only for Venezuelan citizens.
You can already tell what is it that good old Maduro wants.
People is already taking steps to message privately, ephemeral messages are gonna be huge for Venezuelans and sadly, they’ll probably go to the second best (telegram).

Most likely they would think about their contemporary basked player figure that is all over the place.
For me was MJ, kids nowadays would probably think about Lebron James or some other.
Then, it all comes down to make a PMV video with “In the End” by linkin park, making Michael and Lebron fight to see how’s the real shit

Last night I shared my stream’s link to a group I have with some friends. None of them know about #nostr and are conflicted with #bitcoin and CrYpTo, but nonetheless one of them saw the stream and created a #nostr npub without even knowing what an npub is.
Good job on the onboarding @npub1eaz…rcgz @npub1v0l…qj49 @npub1r0r…q9ac and everybody involved, that’s the way to go!
He might not even know that now he can use those same credentials somewhere else, in any Nostr client 🤭
One thing I’d be cool to add is right click (or press-hold) to copy npub for easier discovery of new accounts, since is a lot easier to tag in a post like this. https://i.nostr.build/6pmu2XHBAHqOZFIR.jpg

Oh yeah, and forgot to mention that the “trade offs” also happens in Venezuela, only that the average citizen doesn’t has guns, only thieves and murderers that are allied to the current government, and there is no way for them to defend themselves.

2024-07-30 02:51:24 UTC

Venezuela is a failed state since Chavez, but maduro made it 100 worst.
Vote DO NOT bring a dictatorship down, only guns and people.
Take away your guns for safety? Fuck that shit. Guns in the hands of the citizens are what keep the US from becoming another Venezuela or Cuba.
It has its trade offs like anything else but they’re way asymmetrical.

Peace of mind is so underrated by the mainstream world.
Everything is a rush, a rush to work, a rush to make money, a rush to gamble your money for gains, a rush to have kids, a rush to finish college, a rush to keep yourself entertained.
Yeah, fuck that… Seems like living in the present and enjoying your true self in the moment has faded and is now in the background. Fuck that.

Money trilemma dumbed down:
Imagine you have three special balloons: one balloon makes everything in your world very stable and safe, another balloon makes sure everyone has easy access to all the things they need, and the last balloon lets you control how things work. But here’s the tricky part: you can only hold two balloons at the same time. If you try to hold all three, it doesn't work well, and you might drop one.
So, just like you can only hold two balloons, in the world of money, people often have to choose between stability, access, and control. They can't have all three perfectly at once.
The picture helps show this idea with three kids each trying to hold different balloons labeled "Stability," "Access," and "Control." The friendly teacher is explaining they can only hold two at a time. https://i.nostr.build/dw5eO.jpg
