110 sats \ 23 replies \ @siggy47 2 Sep 2023 \ on: How Do I Get The SN Hat bitcoin
You can't just insert the emoji. Do you think they're just handing out cowboy hats to every Tom, Dick and Harry who wants one? You must earn one by showing support for others with your sats.
Yes, Geyser does provide LN Addresses to every project! It has been over a year now @k00b! :P
For example, Anita's Project on Geyser has her own Geyser ln address: https://geyser.fund/project/bff, bff@geyser.fund. And since she runs her node we don't take any fees from all transactions going to her.
I'm a big believer that LN addresses could be the new standard for interoperable payments across platforms, AND funds going both ways:
- Funding going from SN to Geyser: users forwarding sats to Geyser ln addresses.
- Funding from from Geyser to SN: users could be sending people to Geyser which supports onchain payments, and sats flowing to Stacker News.
I'd love to see this!

They generate invoices when you tap contribute and set an amount. They collect fees on donations so more likely they would want to link to their donation page rather than have sats directly sent to a lightning address.
What I thought would be cool is if they did a weekly campaign feature on SN for a project they want to highlight. Maybe those posts can forward to a lightning address and SN and Geyser can split the fees generated?

Is the contribution happening right now?

You just mentioned my all other names - tom, dick and Harry. Why?
reply
Because Siggy is old and old people say shit like that. Haha sorry Sig.

Exactly! I was thinking of starting an old man expression thread.

That would be pretty fun. I have a few that I use passed down over the generations in the family and my kids look at me like I am completely nuts.

My daughter and her friends make fun of me, but now they use a few.

My little one has taken to saying "oh biscuits" when something goes wrong. I have no idea where she picked it up from. Maybe my mom or a show, but it's pretty funny.

I WISH that was what my daughter used to say. Actually we watched what we said and everything was okay until she went to school.

She has also taken to saying "what the heck" when surprised by something. Pretty sure that one came from her brother but I will let it pass.
On another note. My wife liked your satsraiser post so much that she wants to create her own Geyser project now. There is a church in Africa (outside of Nigeria) that she likes to support- some affiliation with our local church when we lived in Toronto. I was unaware of this, but apparently she has been sending them food donations over the past few years but it is very expensive and needs to be done through international visa gift cards. Anyways, I suggested she try and raise some sats on geyser and see if the org that gets the food to them will take bitcoin and if not we can use the sats to buy Visa gift cards through the Bitcoin company. So we will probably give it a shot next week when she is off work. She usually works fri-mon.
Because I have met them all.

You met them all in one. See? I just helped you out.
