why telegram? centralised, shitcoin, requires a phone number.
if it were matrix, nostr or simplex I'd be game
telegram / whatsapp whatever, no way
I proposed Telegram because it's simple and has a huge network effect, tons of bitcoiners already use it and that's what you'd look for. You can buy a phone number with silent link, ignore their shitcoin and start using it today.
Nostr would be a nice alternative, but last time I checked group message discussions were still in development.
I also think matching txs might be too much of a hassle for a small 3 to 5% discount. Although if fees continue like this and you transact a lot on-chain it might add up.
Also I was just testing the waters, seeing if there would be any interest in doing this at all.

loads of people use facebook too, doesn't make it right 😎
true, group chat in nostr isn't there, but simplex would work really well and matrix servers are easy to spin up
I'd be interested to take part, if only as an experiment
anything involving a phone number just encourages users to put sim cards (or esims) in their mobile devices
which is horrible from a privacy perspective

This is a new nostr pubkey I created just for this purpose. DM there, I'll probably have a few txs this week.
