I tried using SSE and found it didn't work for my use case, it was broken on mobile. When users switched from the browser to an app and back, the SSE connection was broken and they wouldn't receive state updates. Was easier to do

Soz for the late reply. I think you kind of answered your own question. It's not can't, it's won't as you are willing to add tipping but not a paywall to your content :D So for context, we built a lightning paywall(now d

I think another problem with micropayments is competing with free is hard. Say you have the best lightning paywall with an amazing UX where it's super easy and automatic to pay a creator a few sats. Most people assume the problem is us

True although I'm not talking about Ethereum smart contracts, I'm talking about Bitcoin ones which are very limited and not Turing complete. The lightning smart contract is like 20 lines and has been live since 2018, I feel the pr

Explanation: bankA -> bankB -> bankC. bankC creates a secret number, hashes it and sends it to bankA. bankA sends money to bankB locked to hash. bankB can't get money until they have that secret number. bankB sends money to bankC

Correspondent banking. So say a bank in the States needs to send money to one in Spain. They may not have a relationship, so they go through an intermediary bank. You can use a smart contract to eliminate the trust in the intermediary bank,

Just posting here too, I've plugged into evdev to remap keys so the keybindings work on all apps and in gnome Wayland. https://github.com/csumtin/cua

In regards to point 1 about keybindings, I've used evdev to get something similar to Mac(my alt is CMD). https://github.com/csumtin/cua
