#2Anyone else not really suprised. It's like they were actively in search of sharks to jump over for years. The question we should be asking is, what's next or why? I think this is for Only Fans uber-for-porn competition.
If only a massive corporation could think beyond their wallet which may people put next to their second favourite organs!

#3microtransactions via the Lightning network is wonderful part of the bitcoin vision. But I don't think this sentence at the bottom of the "Strike" app page is holding up to the promise: "Custody of your funds and bitcoin trading are offered through Prime Trust, LLC." [1]

#4Absolutely incredible news.
Micropayments are one of the paths out of advertiser hell and were one of the original dreams of many crypto nerds and advocates.
I still think that twitter is pure mind cancer, but I have to give it to Jack on this. Great move, and something I hope gets repeated to the rest of the web.
For those who aren’t very familiar with the crypto space: this uses a bitcoin side chain called lightning; transactions are effectively free and instant, but still denominated in BTC.

HN will never understand crypto / blockchain. Bitcoin and NFTs are amazing tools with huge potential for monetization of all sorts of digital goods. It has never been a better time to be a digital artist and earn a living.
The lack of imagination and "get off my lawn" around here is absurd.

#7Sounds like initial plans are to not take a fee for Bitcoin payments. Which is awesome but a bit surprising.
I wonder whether they'll be able to keep this fee-less over the longer term. If/when they start facilitating billions of dollars moving per year, I'd imagine intense pressure from shareholders to take a cut.

The Diablo 3 real-money auction house was better implemented than most NFT schemes. At least that involved an actual transfer of virtual goods.

It's a spectrum of course. Some people thoroughly understand it and still think it's rather boring or dumb. Some people thoroughly understand it and, like yourself, think it's a revolutionary game changer. And most people don't understand it and either (a) think it's dumb and downvote it, or (b) think it's awesome and are fanatical about it.

How would they take a cut?
