I used to listen to an Andreas Antonopolis video every day before there were any podcasts aside from a couple Joe Rogan and Econ Talk episodes. I guess Bitcoin Talk was around, but I didn't look kenir as much as Antonop's speeches.

Thank you. In the US, people use Venmo QR codes at Farmer's Markets and lemonade stands. I wanted to make a program that easily lets them do it with a lightning address.
It looks like you had the same idea. It's beautiful.

Actually, I made my own sign that has a lightning QR code. Your art is better than mine. 😃
I turned my sign into a vibe coded website that allows anyone with a lightning address to make their own.

I think this is the way to go.
I got the idea from glow-app.co/
It uses the passkey for a lightning wallet back-up.
I prefer writing 12 words down myself, I also prefer deriving nostr keys with a mnemonic using NIP-06. There are dozens of us.
Passkeys work better for everyone else.
So I vibe coded a nostr budgeting app with this passkey login last weekend. The passkey login works for that too.

Thanks. I saw the original before. The fact that so many people still think of bitcoin as an investment some other dude needs to hold for them triggers me. It's as if they read the second sentence of the Bitcoin white paper and think. "Satoshi Nakanoto was a smart dude, but forget about what he says about the main benefits of Bitcoin.."

I'm almost certain none of these people would do that because

2. Even if I am wrong, $10.00 isn't even worth the trouble.
