Contrary to what most people think, if AI is going to replace anything it will be the internet. I mean we dont need webpages and google searches now, we have AI!

Having the time of my life on Nostr. Glad I’m early!
  • Frictionless experience. Just need to head over to iris(dot)to and choose a name. Your public and private keys will be generated, empowering you to export them anywhere.
  • That’s right. You can use the same username and keys on multiple clients. Android users will likely gravitate towards Amethyst; iPhone users will download Damus.
  • Because you are only known by your public key, your privacy is secured as you don’t doxx yourself by having to offer personal information about yourself.
  • Damus allows you to post Lightning Network invoices in your notes. Who knows? If you follow enough people and immerse yourself actively in the space, you may find that your invoices get paid because kind Internet strangers just want to have fun.
  • I haven’t been lucky enough to get any Zaps yet, but I have been playing Cowdle - a Wordle-like game - on Damus. Sometimes, I guess the six-letter word faster than everyone else and have anything from 3 to 75 sats sent directly to my Zebedee account! How cool is that!

Riding high, cowboy hat on head, from the recent success of my SN cowboy hat standard poll, I am now wondering if there is a way to create a poll that automatically tips every respondent 10 sats. Anyway we can make that happen?
reply
You're incentivizing people to sybil attack your poll in that case ... people will create a bunch of accounts to spend 1 sat to get 10.

Then you can sell stacker news to Elon for 44 Billion. haha

How about just one sat? Thanks for participating.

That effectively makes the poll free with more steps!
