Zapvertising > Spamvertising

Satograms and other services like it are really missing the mark on their approach, and anyone using them for spamvertising is probably wasting a large percent of whatever sats they’re spending to send those messages. Lightning wallet UI varies GREATLY and in many cases users will never ever even see those messages. For example, I never open WoS to check it for messages, only sats sent/received. And I just checked my NWC wallet on Alby out of curiosity and see multiple 1 sat payments with messages which I would never normally look at because I don’t use that wallet that way.

Nostr-based Zapvertising would work much better, because your app is designed to show you notifications and messages in a user friendly way, and those UIs can be improved more easily and more consistently than the multiple lightning wallets that people use and switch between, allowing better features for advertisers and better controls for users.

It's the bitcoin solves this but no one ever says how. Then they get mad when people build solutions that maxis disagree with. Big example is ordinals.

A spammy and hacked together solution is not a good solution, but it is at least an effort. That’s what satogram is. Nostr is leaps and bounds ahead of Satogram in terms of user experience for delivering Lightning-based messages, and it would be a better way to accomplish what they’re trying to accomplish.

I will like to see the solutions purposed. Right now advertising is still mostly a shotgun approach of gut everything or single target approach.

Yea it’s definitely rough in form 😂

This is the way 🔥💜

Thanks! The best is yet to come! 🔥💜🦙

Still not the ad solution needed. This just narrows down your "spamvertising". This is more targeted atleast, but your still just grouping people by a hashtag or key word instead of a specific audience. Only thing is if someone wanted couldn't they just keep spam ads to a certain people saying certain things?

I agree that nostr is better for this. But propaganda is in this way most part of the people will never buy with the propaganda that received. This is the start of the experiment the people will learn

An even better solution is coming!

Agreed… and additionally, as another example, I also have a Coinos Wallet, RAnger@coinos.io

and have a few “zapvertising” but have no notes.

As a function of Coinos Wallet, they have no notes enabled at this time, so this is another way in which it’s a waste.

Although, I don’t seem to mind this Sat trickle. 🤷‍♂️
