2. Choose Claude Opus 4.5 
3. Type "Cashu." 

Boom! 💥

Likes and follows are so web 2.0 and 20 years ago. It's tough to amass a following on legacy social media platforms without paying a monthly fee.

But on Nostr, you get monetary feedback as you build community.

Zaplytics lets me see who my most loyal supporters are, like my friend Sam! 🤘

TL;DR: There are zaps that tell me:

• Folks like The Format
• I should run a marathon
• I should build a cat shelter

I can even see that 7:00 pm is "rush hour" on Nostr according to my zaps. So that's a great time to post.

My top content is shouting out my friend Sam, for his band, The Format, releasing the single "Shot in the Dark," crowdsourcing my decision to run a marathon (maybe), and crowdsourcing whether I should build a cat shelter.

Considering I pay $8.72/mo for X Premium just for my content to be SEEN, isn't it nice to earn (what is today, with bitcoin down) $7.04 for the stuff I post?

I'm not even trying. I just post what I want.
December 1, 2025 at 5:41 PM
How much can you earn on Nostr? For that, we go to Zaplytics!

It lets you measure your Nostr success in sats. Nostr is post-Internet slime; we don't care about likes & follows there.

Be free.

I get it. I really do. You've built an audience here on Bitcoin Twitter (or whatever YOUR particular Twitter is).

You don't want to start over and learn another algo...

Let's add food to this list. What else?
November 8, 2025 at 7:57 AM
This just cracks the surface...there are many more.

Nostr for content creators to get you started:

Video creators, there's Zap.Stream for streaming live and Hivetalk for those of us who teach live classes. (It's like Zoom but open source). 🐝

FanFares lets you post gated content people can zap with Bitcoin lightning payments in order to access.

Some Nostr apps for #IndieMusic that let you pay artists P2P in BTC:

• @wavlake
• @fountain_app
• @tunestr21
• ZapTrax, built by @GrowNostrOrg (pictured)
November 7, 2025 at 1:57 AM
Nostr apps for writers that are good for long-form writing:

• Yakihonne (free, comes w/a wallet)
• @primal_app (start for free, paid option available)
Habla.news
• @stacker_news

And more, like Longform by Bullish Bitcoiner (BETA)

If you're tired of the rug pulls by Big Tech™, there's Nostr to replace everything from Twitch to Patreon and even Spotify.

Monetization baked in with no moving goal posts to navigate (lookin' at you, YouTube).

Owning your data. No deplatforming.

What if you could be a part of change?
September 7, 2025 at 6:50 PM
It's this easy, using @Cashapp (or the wallet of your choosing)
September 6, 2025 at 6:32 PM
I found this cool song and fell in love with it. I had to zap it! ⚡️

This took ~15 minutes and $9.28 with Shakespeare! (And on brand with my colors).

For a real site, I'd add real photos, integrate payments, events, and more. This site you see was built for just $10.66 and took mere minutes to create.

It's built on Nostr, meaning instant deployment without platform lock-in. No upsells in order to deploy!
September 3, 2025 at 8:54 PM
See how it adds stock photos and other "mock" features?

Then it's up to me to tweak it based on real information.

He also made Reviewstr!

📍 I'll have to try this on my next adventure! 🗺️

This is one of my favorite things made with #ShakespeareDIY so far, by BitPopArt!

He made an eCard app—all with conversational AI.
