I haven’t seen season two yet, but season one was pretty good.
They got the tone right, which is probably the most unique aspect of the franchise.
The specific scenario here is that someone who has an existing audience wants them to stop subscribing on Substack and start zapping him on Fountain and Stacker News.
So, we have an answer for why they should care.
It's hard to imagine people banning you. You're pretty much the most reasonable person around these parts.
I think we may need to suck it up and at least point out how to use something like CashApp to get sats easily.
It's not ideal, but a lot of people have CashApp already, so this is showing them how to use something they already have to get started with bitcoin.
I think anon can downzap. That's just not how downzapping works, although it seems like it could work that way.
I'd say "killing us" is probably accurate but is also true of far more things than most people realize.
I think about this as trying to find the right set of habits to get as many benefits of modernity, while paying the fewest costs.
Yeah, Fountain and Zebedee used to yield more free sats. I think that would be a good option to offer new Stackers.
Chris was talking about how he has longtime Substack subscribers who would switch to supporting him on nostr or SN but they found it too daunting to figure out how to get sats in the first place.
The only signals that should matter are costly signals.
That's also how I feel but people are allowed to have whatever preferences they have and are free to put their sats towards those ends. I really don't mind the idea of cultural enforcement through downzaps, we'll see who comes out on top.
Like you say, we need to go through these stress tests to see what we can handle and what can happen here.
It's particularly funny that he freaked out about my current setup. I zap real sats to everyone who has a receive wallet attached.
The reason I unattached my receive wallet is that my LN channel with Stacker News never had any inbound liquidity and I wanted to see if I could change that.
Your actual point is great and it's what drew me to SN before I had even heard of V4V.
I'm sure there will always be a Raw Dog option, where people just show up and mess around until they figure it out.
The idea is that some people will have specific uses like posting their content or supporting someone they follow but no bandwidth for all the bitcoin steps they need to take to get there.
I’m certainly guilty of pretty much only using L1 for managing lightning channels.
