I use ₿ every day, zaps are bitcoin. Can’t send a spendable micropayment in bitcoin. You’ll figure it out one day. I wish you luck on your journey.

Could you elaborate some for us? You may be “misunderstimating” zaps ⚡️

and on-chain bitcoin isn't good for micro transactions.

It would have to be some BIG payments for it to be a usable utxo or the whole this is pretty much unspendable. Why have a 7k utxo? You should try zapping since you’re on Nostr it’s pretty rad!

I agree. It's tough hearing people I used to respect fall the other way.

Community Note:

The hypocrisy of those claiming the cypherpunk mantle has never been clearer.

When developer Peter Todd exposed a potential DoS vulnerability in Bitcoin Knots, Blockstream CEO Adam Back responded with a dare: "tell us more. or try it out @buraq style?"

"Buraq style" means attacking the network in the wild, rather than responsible disclosure—a direct encouragement to commit a Denial-of-Service against a running Bitcoin full node.

The original cypherpunks sought to protect privacy and build resilient systems against censorship. These individuals, and more, use the "cypherpunk" label to justify hostile, destructive acts. They are fake cypherpunks who attack other implementations, undermine decentralization, and betray the very principles they claim to uphold.

This is a dangerous attempt to seize control and must be recognized as such.

I was more interested in the technical aspect behind it but thank you.

I was hoping that one day I could be a cypherpunk like Adam Back. Now I realize he's less of a cypherpunk than me!
