The best use case is to see residential buildings with 10-20 apartments and at the basement having like a dozen of asics heating water for the entire building.
Something we've see in Joe Nakamoto video in Finland.
Very good resource. Needs to be studied in details.
the courts that are available do not service State citizens and the idea of a Common Law Court of Record does not mean the local courthouse. Any court where the jury is made up of US citizens would not have ANYTHING to do with naturalizing as a State citizen. So where do you go to announce the fact that you are one? Well, nowhere.
BINGO!
A quick reminder to all internet users: Internet is a public place, don't consider it as personal posting wall.
buah for cellphone are so many ways LOL
If you are ok using bitrefill you can literally use it for anything you need.
I am lucky that one of the local merchant I convinced is also recharging phone credits. So I pay him in sats directly anytime I need.
Apart from bitrefill are so many operators that can take your sats for eSIMs...

a way to pay bills from a lightning node.
Just convince few merchants around you to accept BTC. As I did years ago.
If they are smart they will bring you whatever you need as long you pay in sats.
Why do you want to keep going back to fiat? Start a bitcoin circular economy in your area.
If you want incentives, run a public LN node, be a LSP.
Base onchain is NOT for incentives (except mining), is for proving settlement.
But that is another story...
what you are looking for is a fiat system then.
I used Robosats to pay bills P2P perfectly fine. Request to the payer some proof. Usually banks gives that proof and you can always check instantly with the receptor.
These reliable nodes can be run by anybody that have knowledge and resources, in a more altruistic form than another. I do not think is necessary to pay them directly as miners with fees. They are free to post any address for donations.
For example a miner also can run such a node.
The only incentive for running a bitcoin node: you are your own bank.
Why do you need more ? Maybe you do not understand that power of being your own bank ?
Even if are just few full reachable nodes out there and people run their own limited node at home, is enough.
why don’t we have any legit P2P Bitcoin bill-pay services?
Did you tried Robosats? Works perfectly fine for paying fiat bills.
There's also another one over nostr https://github.com/Quizzicarol/bro-app, is quite new.
There are many types of nodes and use cases.
IMHO not everybody MUST run a full node.
You can run a simple Bitcoin Core on a lazy laptop and not even have to sync it every day, only when you need it for yourself. That is almost 0 cost and effort.
You can also use a neutrino mode and is perfectly fine for personal use.
Important are the public FULL nodes, that are few and is not even necessary to be many. Just enough and well distributed across the world,, running independently.
If a node is not a REAL visible and sharing machine (with port 8333 open) with unlimited connections (not just the 8 default for seeding) and with reliable hardware, it DOESN'T COUNT, is just a leecher.
And for a real full node you need a serious hardware and connection not bullshit crap residential dialups in the colombian jungle, and also over Tor. Those nodes are joke...
All this crazy mania with every bitcoiner must run a bitcoin full node at home is kind of stupid. Yes, is good to run a full node, but not in all cases.
Jack only wanted to make an alternative to twatter... in other words another place where people can fight online for nothing.
People looking to nostr as a social media protocol, they are wrong. Nostr is something different.
I wonder why people say "self-sovereignty" ?
Is there also a "custodial-sovereignty ?
Why not saying (as it should be) just sovereignty ?
self-sovereign is a moronic thing.
And my answer to your question is: because is Bitcoin. All the rest is garbage and because without nodes everything falls apart.
I use nostr more in private communication than in public....
few understand this difference.
Nostr private use - run your own private relay, only for people you want to communicate with, use specific clients / apps to send messages
Nostr public use - use public relays to post stupid memes. If they censor you it doesn't matter, you do not lose anything.
NOSTR IS NOT TWATTER !
There are 2 aspects to look when you start using Nmail.
- You still depend on a bridge to deliver the emails, if you do not use your self-hosted one
- You can use it as regular email (through the bridge) or as simply a private nostr messenger, (that do not depend on the bridge).
Advantages?
- for people that are using a 3rd party hosted email service (proton, gmail etc) it's good that they can take control over their emails
- for people that are using their self-hosted email server/domain is not a real big advantage, but it can be used as a disposable throwaway aliases email (each email address is a npub)
Is still in early phase but is promising and the dev seems to be working continuously to improve it.
In the past I got a seed with the word "satoshi".
