Welcome Brother, Food for thought
Here are issues my B2B clients around the World are dealing with today:
Accepting Lightning payments for more than $ 1,750.00 USD value, still seems like BTC on chain is the way to go.
-
I'm using zaprite invoicing AND opennode on a modified shopify site.
-
97% of my customers are OUTSIDE of the USA.
Aloha, Rich

Me too, I feel the same way.
Even though I get a minute amount of traffic (on my territory) as I'm focused 100% on B2B buying and selling merchandise etc. And most people are not really merchants, let alone BTC focused merchants. But that's ok, I'm long term BTC.
Stay humble SPEND SATS, USE SATS IN A CIRCULAR BITCOIN ECONOMY.
I very much support any efforts in humans being able to trade goods. I will be glad to post any items on our site and bulletins we send out. Some suggestions from selling, marketing online on various domains since 1998.
Try and reach merchants with an "open arms approach" what I mean by this, in the past I have tried to immediately "push" people to only use Bitcoin at the beginning of conversations in person and online.
Today I have a tiny amount of B2B customers and suppliers around the World that use BTC, USDT, Liquid. Many, many, repeat many cannot afford large B2B transactions and want to do multiple payments or a combination of payment types. I HAVE LEARNED TO BE OPENED MINDED, I was introduced to Bitcoin from a few years of Sh*t coins.
I can provide some possible purchases into the USA from other Countries, but I'm in Honolulu, Hawaii and past experiences it's easier if whoever is offering any food stuffs, general merchandise, homemade goods, at some point they will need basic info to keep the attention and interest of a commercial buyer.
Looking forward to reviewing and possibly purchasing items that are logical for re-selling to my dealers.
Feel free to contact me Rich

We buy from New Delhi, long term relationship, primarily 6205.20 100% cotton shirts. Beach sarongs (polyester). We get bombarded with solicitations for selling us stuff.
Still open to discussing any opportunities. Are you a supplier ? or trader IN India ?
Please use my contact page to discuss details, thank you Richard

Thank you, I'm looking forward to the day when we can freely trade with Cuba. Bitcoin will be a big help. I'm hearing through the grapevine some with similar thinking in Miami. Aloha, Rich
I would suggest having a Bitcoin payment method. I know it's NOT technically a nostr direct item, however Nostr users would probably be looking to support paying you in Bitcoin. OpenNode has a Wordpress plugin.
I am using open node on my Shopify B2B site. As I am doing B2B , I have to have automatic tracking notification and linking, Shopify is easier. I STRONGLY SUGGEST getting a working payment first that sends to your wallet in BTC first.
Once you want to have it go to your bank, you start having to do a bunch of KYC.

Thank you very much for your kind words, I will keep in touch and hopefully use your platform soon. Much Aloha, Rich
Có một cộng đồng người Việt lớn ở Honolulu, 99% sở hữu doanh nghiệp riêng của họ với nhiều loại hình khác nhau.
Vui lòng cân nhắc liên hệ trong thông tin liên lạc của bạn, để khuyến khích và nhắc nhở tất cả người Việt Nam hoặc người Mỹ và những người nước ngoài khác đang kinh doanh tại, và đến và đi từ Việt Nam trực tuyến hoặc thông qua một đại lý. Cân nhắc sử dụng Bitcoin trong giao dịch hàng hóa của họ, đặc biệt là ở Honolulu và Garden Grove, California.
Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều, tôi có thể thảo luận về việc giao dịch bất kỳ hàng hóa nào vào hoặc ra khỏi Honolulu bằng Bitcoin làm phương thức thanh toán hoặc thanh toán một phần, vui lòng liên hệ với tôi Richie
Interesting, but would be difficult, I more B2B, using actual export documents, International tracking. I think I can refer some people to you for retail B2C, But posting JUST on AGORA ?
I want to use nostr,
I want my customers to use nostr,
It will continue to improve.
However frustrating when I have tried to "push" my customers to use nostr.
As a B2B merchant posting or having links that will load fast is the issue.
If using ANY platform, from a business standpoint, (not discussions about cats), it has to be available number one in other Countries (American small business owners use WhatsApp to sell goods).
In the long run, when more restrictions kick in, maybe Nostr will be easier or I should say actually being used by merchants in other Countries.
But In the long run, SN will be, is better for posting goods for sale, it feels more stable, I think making a few SATS is not an issue at all.
SN provides a service, a very import service.
I think the term "figure it out" can also be called or referred to:
Realizing you need to talk to God moment by moment.
Fear no man.
Be honest with yourself.
Be careful who "invest" your time with. I'm 72 one day you will wake up and feel life is very, very short. I should have done this, or that, tried this or that, gone here or there.
It's easier to do business with people in other Countries they are hungry, the majority of Americans are not.
Number one I would say at the very least even if you only have one penny, start a business it's more of a state of mind "I started a business" I have a business" "My new business is this or that". You can always keep your day job. But build something.
Excuses and procrastinating are similar.
A lot of thought, emotion, determination in your words.
Briefly I share this hoping in might help some way somehow.

I'm long term Bitcoin, ESPECIALLY in a circular use economy, rather than JUST "stack SATS". As an importer, exporter, wholesaler I've tried hard, really hard to get my friends, customers and suppliers to actually use Bitcoin, NOT just to buy a cup of coffee using a lightning wallet, but to use on our wholesale B2B transactions. NOT easy, 99% they are still addicted to ONLY using fiat.

At 72 years old, I do not relate to guys in my age range, they have retired, I work in my business seven days a week, with that said I'm also active in our local Bitcoin dev group in Honolulu.
-
Two of my websites accept Bitcoin using Open Node, interestingly only people OUTSIDE of the USA seem to be excited to actually use Bitcoin. And this is why I focus on people, companies that are 100% positive, active, forward thinking, optimistic. I've changed (read "dropped") a lot of those who are not in my similar thinking, at my age time is taken more seriously.
So I guess I'm trying to say that are many out there that think like you, but you haven't met them yet, they can bring other ideas, revenue, opportunities, just keep keep up the good fight.
Good Luck, God Bless

Assumed I am correct in my thinking that the probable amount of SN active users are NOT importers, exporters, wholesalers, manufacturers of any type of merchandise, food stuffs, etc. They do not use or realize the benefits of using Telegram, LINE and WhatsApp for daily communications in business communications. ( I do) as well as other methods, depending on the region.
Every time another restriction surfaces in doing regular B2B, it adds to the decision making process in pulling out of a region, Country etc.
Question(s), points to make:
Should I continue to trade with my French B2B customers OR support Telegram and voice my disapproval in their (France) holding Durov ?
And now should I continue to trade with my Denmark B2B customers OR support Telegram and voice my disapproval in their (Denmark's) decision about Telegram and they are also discussing WhatsApp (which is used by 99% of my B2B customers Worldwide ?
It is an UNDERSTATEMENT to say that the UK and Western Europe in general are still dealing with negative outcomes for both sides. Adding more to an anti-business vibe is NOT good for any business anywhere in the World.
It seems logical to just shift AWAY from any Country that is adding more and more restrictions, we will be getting even more and more restrictions here in the USA.
