Because no one will let to use twitter to use this, that is the same of twitter but with a worst client. Twitter already allows to tip other users with bitcoin lightning. I think the tweetoshi dev should implement a different protocol, look at: https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr
Seems like at the moment someone would have to be technically inclined in order to use nostr till it's more user friendly. I love the concept and have been following fiatjaf on different platfroms.
While I agree that you can tip people currently using ₿, you can't use the LightningNetwork for tips on Twitter unless you use Stripe, for those outside of Northern America this needs to be a static Legacy Wallet address to receive tips.
I hope that a solution is found or that nostr becomes something the average user can & will use moving forward though.

minds.com is already implementing Nostr. And looks like Damus.io will be a great client when released.

Took a further look into it & it seems minds.com is using their own Native token built on Ethereum (hard pass for me since I'm Bitcoin only).
I've used Tweetoshi now for more than 5 hours & besides the bugs they are working on I don't see how this project isn't a step in the right direction with regards to properly integrating Bitcoin on Twitter.
You don't have a minimum withdrawal limit of sats, it can be sent to any Lightning Wallet with no fee it seems & you can tip people for their specific tweets directly on your TL instead of having to go to their profile.
Looks like a great start, but will keep an eye on it to see if the planned bug fixes & additions they speak of on their website are implemented.
