Great news. Sounds like the obvious next step. I can think of several substackers I'd like to create... with topics very different from btc.
As a complete side-note, how much on top are you about possible legal repercussions? Bottlepay started as a great startup providing the ability to tip other people and they had to nearly completely shut down before starting again as a full KYC, coinjoin-censoring, entity. I still think their new product is useful, just wondering how much you are thinking about this should similar regulatory constraints hit this platform once it grows.

I don’t think about this much at all (but perhaps I should?). When we’re decentralized and noncustodial it’s a non-issue likely.

Good to know. I don't know exactly what caused the problems for Bottlepay, but they started as a simple LN tipping bot and had to shut down because of such regulations. And could only come back (with a slightly different product) after clarifying their legal status. They have a telegram group (https://t.me/bottlepay) where you can find the contact information of its owner (Pete). Up to you to see what's the best strategy (see how it goes or proactively comply). I'd also like to believe in a world where decentralized and non-custodial mean what they mean, but until we get there...
