Nostr Web Client

Not all Nostriches are Bitcoiners. They don't understand Zaps or know that Zaps are Bitcoin or even have Bitcoin themselves!

Clients could add sats to their onboarding process. Successfully add a banner and profile pic? Get 5 sats. Add a bio? Get 5 sats. Explain what sats are, how they're used in Zaps, and if they complete their profile with a Lightning wallet, they'll get the sats they've earned deposites into their wallet, and earn 5 more sats for adding the Lightning address. Then, the final stage of the onboarding process would be tell the user to go out there and Zap their first note.

The only issue with the above scenario would be users or bots farming free sats by creating infinite new npubs. Clients would have to track device IDs and/or IP addresses to help minimize the impact.

I tried onboarding a guy and explained the zaps concept and how to setup a wallet to get Bitcoin tips... And he got upset and called me scammer, and blocked me. I think not everybody is ready, and giving away sats like that is a waste of both sats and PoW. We need network effect first, then might be "infomercials" on how to complete the profile for zapping etc... Idk 😐

We can't set people up for failure though. We can't ask them to do #OnlyZaps without giving them the tools to participate.

How do we create Nostr Bets ?

Derek Ross 2y ago

There are a couple bots for gambling already, I'm sure more could be added for betting.

It would be fun to bet on some real world events

It‘s sad but people give a shit about privacy and freedom. It‘s hard to convince people of nostr whose password is password.

We need to make them add an exclamation point at the end for more security.

😂 good point.

I haven't given up yet, but when the point comes where people think I want to sell them something with bitcoin or nostr, I stop.

Now that Habla is redesigned and more friendly to new joiners, I need to go back to visiting wine’s welcome relay and sharing my welcome guide.

Thanks for the unintentional reminder, Derek 💜

Well said on the nest! Agree with you.

I'd say getting people to interacting and have meaningfull experience should come first, zaps are only a small part of that 🤔

#[2] and others also brought up the importance of trying to keep the onboarding zaps organic and user driven. Maybe there could be an onboarding fund that users could “⚡️ it forward” or something. I’m sure there’s a better solution than this.

There was also an interesting idea of bundling sats with badges.
