The most fascinating thing about Bitcoin (to me) is that it enables money to be sent peer-to-peer permissionlessly using all the same communications methods we use to send messages. That should enable peer-to-peer global commerce. But cash is only a small portion of the types of money/value which people use. If Lightning could deliver other asset types like tickets, coupons, titles, tokenized stocks certificates, tokenized commodity futures peer-to-peer, the Nostr protocol is ideally designed to convey the accompanying messages. Lots of projects including Taproot assets, Spark, LRC-20, etc have claimed asset-over-Lightning capability, but at best they work only for high volume fungible tokens like stablecoins.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve been working on a project called EvrLight which implements buying/selling any type of token peer-to-peer over Lightning<br/><a href="https://evrlight.org">https://evrlight.org</a><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/44e24e96b7b5e41a3ae21217e11a94401b28898fbeb2542f628e6416a3b5f8cb.png"> 2026-10-08T20:55:07Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsqsrpn2fjgunu2zegrjh0fsav8q2rry29z9eu4m3ngpyfgsxxmg7szypyfrlacrshc6dx40tuk6kqh34g67zwxaqcq3w3m9p5d9747827jqxcnk66 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsq5fff2rm7c606nsl9haa38vt2matnpjaql5qxaj2j3f3kstv4zag47s8xq'>nevent1q…s8xq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Nostr and Lightning bridge together different communities, different technologies, and different capabilities. <a href="https://evrlight.org">https://evrlight.org</a> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/44e24e96b7b5e41a3ae21217e11a94401b28898fbeb2542f628e6416a3b5f8cb.png"> 2026-10-08T05:43:57Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqspsqdqv5msa9m3w728c7zn92a9ytsg0ed03n4kl29g3ranavdsqnszypyfrlacrshc6dx40tuk6kqh34g67zwxaqcq3w3m9p5d9747827jq99tj6l In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqqqqxwj2h85epxhaxmhcyjn2kk3h2ngqnnhmg4ztmy2spm5sarsu9jgjm'>nevent1q…jgjm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>All communication in EvrLight is done using Nostr <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/44e24e96b7b5e41a3ae21217e11a94401b28898fbeb2542f628e6416a3b5f8cb.png"> 2026-10-08T05:36:47Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs08pp46xpxrjq5mpazljma0dvngw7kqahqky5uqh77wysc63yxcqszypyfrlacrshc6dx40tuk6kqh34g67zwxaqcq3w3m9p5d9747827jquzlsdj This is an exciting time.

Unreasonable for most people.<br/><br/>But then I look at how much has happened in the past year on non-custodial, LSP, and fully-hosted Lightning.<br/><br/>And I think about the Ford Model-T which only 115 years ago in 1909 sold without headlamps or windshields or speedometers or a roof. Which had to be hand-crank started. On which the transmission was controlled by 2 pedals and a lever (the throttle was in the steering wheel). There was a parking brake, but the only driving brake was transmission braking using another pedal, with no brakes in the wheels. It used almost as much oil as gasoline.<br/><br/>Lightning will get better. 2024-11-08T18:08:54Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs00kjuq8m02zzhr6htnnqfjkd5zr9m49qmwnxvk44kggcyqkqw2qszypyfrlacrshc6dx40tuk6kqh34g67zwxaqcq3w3m9p5d9747827jquruw77 The huge amount of money being spent on AI is changing how people think about data:<br/><br/>Historically, the willingness of marketing companies to pay for data about people acted as a powerful force shaping the internet and the business models of the world;s largest companies. Google, Facebook, Twitter and others grew in their current form as huge walled gardens in order to consume those marketing dollars. The vulnerable large databases of personal data also shaped and fed the growth of cyber-crime. <br/><br/>The data marketplace now has a growing set of new non-marketing customers who need data to train their AIs. Moreover, those AIs want data about all sorts of things, rather than just about people. Information about the sciences, company product lines, movements and trends, are all becoming more marketable and therefore more valuable. <br/><br/>These factors will have far-reaching effects on the whole internet in terms of which companies prosper, how their business models work, how they use and protect data, what new data security problems arise, and how hacker groups will try to monetize those problems. 2024-11-07T20:21:19Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsv90vv9fzrt05q6888dypj003hma0x4zxd6qtu3eyep2tknn4lr8qzypyfrlacrshc6dx40tuk6kqh34g67zwxaqcq3w3m9p5d9747827jqf8cpl4 Applications like this are super important for Nostr&#39;s success.
