put the buzz word zap aside… a relay that charges with payment intervals… and splits to the creators.. is a 5 star idea.
What your suggesting, splitting zaps, would have relays fighting to host content.. and anyone can rebroadcast… so everyone would, and there would be 100 relays fighting for this split.
I would just post my ln address and ask people to donate there if they like my content…
but a relay that pays me a tiny split when I do provide content to them… makes a whole tone of sense.
How about an “add sats” feature to introduce a queuing system to the broadcast of notes? This feature could be switched on by Nostr clients when high traffic volumes are detected.
In turn, the split of sats revenue could also involve the client taking a cut for facilitating the payment.

Penny Problem Gap: Economists assume demand is linear, but people’s behavior totally changes once an action costs money. If the inventors of the Internet had known about it, spam wouldn’t be such a problem. If sending an email cost you $0.001, there’d be way less spam.
a client could charge and run payment or delivery intervals for serving and rebroadcasting notes… and then split that with the content creators. But “zaps” should remain a direct form of payment to the creator. Just as podcasting 2.0 is creator focused.
at the end of the day… I will just share my ln address and ask for payment there as a creator. Just as no agenda asks for donations outside of payment intervals.
the reverse works and give a great reason to pay for your client and relay…. Because part of that pays for the content.
It's not just about relays. App developers need value as well.
Yeah easier for them, they can easily build in a wallet, like fountain fm and use some form of intervals to pay out creators… maybe help facilitate this for relays with their built in wallet specifically for funding payment intervals.
zaps is just a way to send a donation aside from that.
I don't like your idea
I like value flows
Agree to disagree
I’m literally just describing podcasting 2.0 back to you and explaining how rebroadcasting works 😂
If anything… the wallets who produce the zap receipt should get their split from the clients and relays not the other way around
Would you move all of no agenda donations to value flow where any podcasting app that is willing to serve it gets a split? You would end up with nothing as a creator.
