We pay in fiat right now :( ... it's easier for accounting/record keeping. If gusto supported paying in bitcoin I'd do it.

Yes I do since May 15th!
I'll add my view to what @k00b already mentioned:
When we discussed payment I mentioned that I would be open to get paid in bitcoin since there would probably be less fees involved than doing USD<>EUR.
However, this would mean I would probably have to sell BTC to cover my fiat expenses which could make my tax situation more complicated (which is already complicated because of living in Europe but working for a company in the US).
I then looked up my local laws and I noticed that according to it, I can only accept EUR as payment, lol. But I think I read somewhere that I can get paid up to 10% in other currencies.

Very cool! That makes sense, I'm glad you were able to find the best option.
Are you willing to share what your compensation looks like? I work in the same field (software engineering) so am just curious what SN is offering :) No worries if not, of course. I understand not sharing that kind of sensitive info.

No worries, I can understand the curiosity :) I told @k00b about your initial question and he said that he doesn't like to hide information since not hiding it makes us more accountable. Then he answered and I added my view.
Since I also think people should be more open regarding this, here is my answer - but first, some context:
Before joining SN, I have been working for almost 3 years at abusix, a software company with the mission of "fighting network abuse on a global scale" as a working student. My focus was on writing parsers for abuse reports + tooling. As a working student, I can only work up to 20 hours per week. My last pay rate was €18/h. I started there at €14/h and they increased it by 2€ every year based on my work and the experience and responsibility that I gained.
Now to my current compensation:
My compensation at SN is now $25/h and I work 20 hours per week so this was quite an upgrade. I basically earn 38% more now. Also, @k00b mentioned that he is always open to discuss compensation unlike my previous employer.
But my main reason to switch was that abusix has gotten quite large during my time. Tobias Knecht the CEO called it "growing pains". I missed the days where we still had an office and him and me would just chat randomly about anything including how abusix started as 3 lines of bash. These reasons and that I always wanted to work in open source and bitcoin lead me to switch positions. Additionally, I never liked social media in it's prevalent form but saw SN as a model to disrupt social media and become a part of it. So after some initial hesitation (I got really comfortable at abusix), it became a no-brainer and I took the leap :)

Yea, I don't know how the culture is in Europe or other parts of the world, but in the US, many places frown up on sharing compensation information with others, though legally you're allowed to share it with coworkers and the like. I agree that it helps folks be held accountable, so I am all for it.
Thank you for sharing your story, I have never worked at a company that small, but I can see why you chose to pursue SN as your next venture.

I've completed the phasing out my old json library in nostr-java, and will be releasing a new version with Jackson json library support.
It's still alpha and unstable, and I'm expecting a few de/serialisation issues here and there, I'll fix them as they pop up.
I've had amazing feedback from a random user in Japan, and invaluable help from another guy in brasil, for which I'm immensely grateful.
Also, I'm finally learning modern Javascript. 😎

Trying to figure out the best way to go about collecting indications of interest from bitcoin miners who may want to expand, ie set up new mining operations on the extra land owned by some advisory client contacts of mine. I imagine they would either lease the land directly from my clients and/or pay them a spread on the cost of electric they consume. Looking to recommend this type of arrangement to them as one of the best alternatives they should consider in order to get the highest and best use out of their extra/idle spaces, their extra raw land tracts, etc., but need to have some data points and general guidelines for how that arrangement would pencil out financially before suggesting it to them

I published the latest small improvements to my LN channel advisor. Them I realized yesterday, that it provided similar node 'connectivity results' for small nodes and the biggest nodes when they are connected. So now I'll try to improve what is displayed to suggest where the new channels could reduce transaction costs the most

A Wordpress plugin for payments in lightning straight to the vendor's exchange account. I plan to at least implement to Bitfinex, Buda and Bitaroo. The problem is that there is a 50+ days queue for new WP plugin submissions, so I am polishing the first version with just 1 exchange and learning how to properly unit test the plugin so I won't get it rejected.

You can try using this app: https://app.starbackr.com/ where you can set a pay wall for your content.
Or this site: https://lightning.video/?type=trending&nsfw=false&all=true maybe is more what you are looking for.
