if you're using Sparrow wallet you can use RBF, plenty of examples on YouTube:

buying a home in the UK without taking on significant debt is pretty much impossible for the average person. because houses are so expensive, and for general quality of of life and cost of living reasons, i left the UK about 3 years ago. I now already own a home out right, paid for in cash and renovated it myself. current monthly expenses are about €100 for all bills, taxes, insurance etc. in the UK this stuff would be 10x

I'm with you, actually spend the time to teach you kids financially literacy. giving your kids an inheritance (more freedom and options) is so obvious a good thing, anyone who cannot see that is on the wrong track. the whole point of being a good parent is to fix the things that were broken in your childhood and heal generational trauma. leaving your kids better off than your parents left you is a part of that. the whole "they'll squander it" mentality reflects badly on you, the parent, it's arrogant.

yeah good point. I'll probably just disabled it to keep things simple.

p.s. we fixed the bug you found. the few historic zaps that weren't showing up are now allocated to their correct owners.

you should see a new item in your activity history for the missing zap. the amount you earned for that zap will be 9 sats instead of 8 sats because it's an old zap, and old zaps had a slightly different fee structure.

we need to do some working making it clear what's happening with the zaps, e.g. where sats are going and the splits. we'll make some changes to the activity page to improve the ux!

yeah! when you zap your own meme the whole zap amount goes to the reward pool! basically so you can't upvote your own meme without it costing you

oh yeah! you'd dead right, that's a bug. it looks like this bug affects a small amount of memes that we created very early in the development of zap.meme. the data for those memes in the database is a malformed and so some early zaps that we sent while testing were not recorded properly. thankfully we should have all the data we need to fix the issue for those historic zaps.

I'll put in some work this afternoon to fix the historic zaps and put the issue right. thanks for letting us know!

so yeah! zaps are working as expected, it's just some early historic ones that are malformed. we just sent you 5 zaps, let us know if you see them :)

btw, you'll see the zaps come in as 8 sats, not 10:

@0xbitcoiner we just shipped Nostr login. we'll do a proper announcement this Sunday, but just thought we'd hit you up directly since you were waiting for it :)

wiring up Nostr auth into zap.meme today :) the stacker.news codebase has been a really useful reference!

ok, so i took a look and here's what's happening:

this is your zap.meme profile - any memes you upload directly on zap.meme will be under this profile https://zap.meme/p/zap/spotcr

this is your stacker.news profile - any memes you upload on SN's Meme Monday will be shown here https://zap.meme/p/sn/spot

this is your combined profile - all your memes will be shown here https://zap.meme/p/spotcr

p.s. your SN profile picture wasn't showing, so we fixed that and now it's visible :) p.p.s. we're still working on the UX of profiles, which is why it's still not so obvious how they work. we're gunna be tweaking the UI of the app to make this clearer in the next few days. any feedback welcome! p.p.p.s. reducing the meme creation fee from 100 to 10.... change incoming....

thanks for reporting, investigating........

ok, so it looks like your memes weren't pulled in properly! So I've gone and fixed that and now your last two submissions are showing with some sats zapped on em 👍

your profile is here: https://zap.meme/p/sn/TNStacker

it looks like the signin is sending you to an invalid url.

thanks for reporting this!

I see what's going on there. Fix incoming

Also a quick shout out to @IgnaciobTato @ama and @roll

I saw you tried to claim you accounts on Monday, the claim process didn't work as expected for you 3. I've fixed the bug and have pinged you guys a few sats on zap.meme, can you try and claim you account again? Let me know how it goes this time 💌

@kr just emailed you a question at Keyan's suggestion, lmk if it doesn't arrive (just setup the new email address so it's the first email sent via that address)

The Chief Meme Officer is in the house! Welcome!

I was just day dreaming about some of growth strategy we'll be trying, so thought I'd outline some more of them here, as a more detailed response to your second question.

As I mentioned, we're gunna lean heavily on SN meme mondays for a few weeks. We still need to refine the product a fair bit, and getting some early alpha testers on board from SN would be ideal :) we'll work with them to refine our app and get a better feel for what sort of things we can build into the core product.

Also, our CMO (Chief Meme Officer) will be reaching out to active memers on Twitter, Nostr and SN etc. He'll be handling most of the user engagement and will be in the trenches talking to users and gathering feedback.

Another thing we're really excited to experiment with is going to be 3rd party integrations. Think of how Giphy have integrated into WhatsApp.

Most likely, our first port of call for integrations will be Nostr. It's permissionless so no waiting around. There are loads of meme lords on Nostr. We'll implementing various Nostr related features, and be setting up a Nostr relay with the goal of reaching towards our 1,000 and 10,000 user marks. The Nostr integration will come with various other tools to help meme creators reach their potential. We have a bunch of other exciting back-of-the-napkin ideas on this front that still need hashing out, but should start to come into focus by the 2nd round of the contest.

Reaching 100,000 users will require us to branch out of the Bitcoin ecosystem. The goal would be to tap into a large platform and draw new users in from there. I'd say we'll do something like: 2 week sprints, build an MVP integration, see if hits, if it doesn't, then scrap it and go back to the drawing board and try a different angle. Rinse and repeat until we tap a rich vein of ore.

I tried this approach with a previous project and eventually got a big hit and millions of views: first, I built a Discord Extension, no one used it, then I tried an Android App, same thing, then I tried a Twitch extension... The Twitch extension blew up and racked up 3m views which converted into about 100k views on the website that accompanied the extension.
