🧪Because who needs code when you’ve got vibes and AI?! 🧪
Have fun building #bitcoin games without any line of code with these prompts and tools in less than 15 minutes🎮
Part 1: Chat with your bitcoin lightning wallet using natural language powered by Codename Goose @Nostr Wallet Connect
Try it yourself with this NWC MCP Server: https://github.com/getalby/nwc-mcp-server
Part 2: Vibe code a bitcoin game using Cline and Google Gemini in one shot and two iterations 😄
We published this overview of 1-shot prompts to help you add bitcoin lightning payments to your project.
Follow your vibe, build, and share it with us. We would love to collect your prompts, apps and learn if you find it useful. https://github.com/getAlby/lightning-vibe-coding

Just configured goose & cursor to run with a @PayPerQ API key 🤯
The best thing? I never paid more than a few thousand sats a month although I constantly use it.

Awesome revamp! 🔥
I'd be super interested to learn more about which DVMs are being paid for and how the paid DVM landscape evolves over time (total / average sats being spent overall, per kind, etc). Any plans to add such stats as well?

2024 was a real breakthrough of Nostr Wallet Connect ecosystem—new wallets, apps, websites, dev tools embraced interoperability & programmability that #NWC brings to Bitcoin. 2025 is going to be even more exciting. Let's celebrate that with fresh updates to NWC ecosystem map 🧵👇

🔥 Amazing videos based on timechain data

Today we celebrate the inception of the bitcoin chain by trying out a new distribution channel.
After showing these clips in conferences, publishing on nostr, and collaborating with other bitcoiners, we're now getting this ready for the masses by also publishing on youtube.
It feels bitter sweet to widen our audience and reach, while at the same time sacrificing our ethos of prioritising decentralised networks and bitcoin first applications for the distribution. We're so early, the audience isn't there yet.
If you're on youtube, consider liking and subscribing!
Zap to support the project 🎥
⚡️ Above 10k sats: contributor credit
⚡️⚡️ Above 100k sats: sponsor credit
⚡️⚡️⚡️ Above 1M sats: producer credit

Just prototyped a Nostr Activity chart like you know them from GitHub.
Would be a fun way to encourage users to show up every day and hunt for some streaks? Maybe it's also useful to judge how active some users are if you consider following them?

Anyone got a clue why primal search won't work for the term "alby" anymore? @miljan
https://primal.net/search/alby
All other keywords seem to work, but this one yields no results for me anymore. I was heavily using it to monitor mentions and help users with questions. 🤔

If you’d like to help improve onboarding to nostr can you take two minutes to answer a few user research questions:
https://formstr.app/#/fill/9536d6b5256edaf479da4828ddab19fffbbbfff0223843f56806256fa13e3213
If you’d like to help even more, send this questionnaire to someone you know who failed to onboard to nostr

🧡 Hola muchachos. My name is Gabby, and on nostr, I will be sharing my journey and experiences raising the next generation of Bitcoiners and other #momstr content.
🏡 I'm a homemaker, married to @reneaaron and Mama to Miss K (14 months). My husband lovingly calls me our 'Life and Family Manager'.
I love feeding my family healthy food from scratch and caring for my #plants 🌱, #garden 🍅 and #chicks 🐔.
🥖 In 2021, I got my first sourdough starter, and ever since, I've been on a mission to gather the best #sourdough recipes for bread, pizza, pancakes, and all the sweet treats we enjoy.
🤓 I'm eager to learn more about different types of parenting, education, travelling with kids, and everything that helps me grow in motherhood.
Excited to meet 'my people' and connect with other Mamas in this space.
