snail on speed today
we did surgery on a grape, did we ever drug snails?
update: apparently, we did
I can only imagine how far medical robotics has advanced in the 13 years since that video was first filmed. Remarkable.
As snails aren't biologically similar to humans (like mice) or reproduce quickly (like fruit flies), I suppose the application of snails in medical research studies must be rather niche...

Another freebie? lol

we've been thinking about how freebie should work with attached wallets. we might simply allow you to upgrade a freebie to non-freebie by paying an invoice afterwards.
it could also be a user setting: if it's enabled, we always try to pay from the attached wallet first / upgrade freebies.
currently, there is no choice. if you don't have enough sats in your custodial wallet, it will become a freebie item.

So SN would auto-withdraw from an attached wallet? Going to be a lot of micro transactions. The idea of subsequently upgrading a freebie is good. Maybe a poster could run up credit but freebie posts are exempt from rewards? (But zaps are ok)
I think you should go to the Saloon with an inverted cowboy hat.. like you are asking for contributions.

Yes but we already do that if you attach a wallet that supports spending. We support NWC, LNBits and LNC under that category for now. I use this to connect my LND node via NWC and zap stackers. For security and trust reasons (we don't want to become a juicy target and don't want you to need to trust us), the spending permissions are only stored on your client.1
Going to be a lot of micro transactions.
Yes. It's basically a test to see if the Lightning network can deliver micropayments which was one of its promises. I am currently basically cheating since I have a private channel to SN so I have actually zero fees and no routing failures but I suspect the majority won't want to open a private channel to SN just for SN.
However, I think zapping on nostr already validated that micropayments over lightning can work. We're just going to iterate on what nostr is already doing but with better UX. We're trying to stay as close as possible to the familiar UX of SN. Ideally, you wouldn't be able to tell any difference if you zap with fee credits or real sats with an attached wallet.

What do you mean with "run up credit"? You mean that they would pay via their zaps? So basically have a negative account balance until they get zapped enough? That's an interesting idea ... 👀

Exactly that. Not really a BTC ideal though!
