Wow. 🤩 🤩🤩

So which … oh 🤣🤣🤣

👍🏻

📠

Zaps are pure signal

Zapped 🫡

Couldn't agree more.

Loved your podcast with #[2]

How do we convince the masses of this? How do we help them understand this innovation?

Time

How to expedite? I'm a teacher... how can I help? I already am pushing the limits of financial education for Bitcoin in the public system.

I'm down for a mass learning session. We need an entire presentation on value for value and how Zaps are changing the narrative. Maybe we do a live stream?

Les zaps se devraient d'être pour tous ceux qui créent et développent et ceux de l'ombre qui aident à améliorer en contenu des outils et non pour dénicher le filon comme tels que les influenceurs que Instagram a permis de s'enrichir sans apporter un truc utile à la société , ce n'est pas comme cela je conçois le concept de zapps qui est selon moi contributif à l'effort de groupe en communauté une certaine solidarité, une reconnaissance de valeur -travail faisons juste attention à l'autre versant cupide de *l'influenceur* qui finit soir par dégoûter la masse ou à être copié et dans ce dernier cas un risque pour la plateforme et un dégoût des utilisateurs.

What even, is time? Is that separate from the person, and event? Hmm?

Time is what it feels like when events occur so keep on posting, developing, iterating.

We need events that cause mass adoption.

Zaps built into Tidal. Remonitize the platform.

This might hit tipping point. My 2 Sats ⚡️

I say it’s been enough time come on bro let’s do this

🤣🤣🤣

For example, if this post is published on news sites, everyone can hear it. Because many societies don't know about Nostr. I saw the Damus app when I shared it on Jack Account

You cannot force it. The masses convince themselves when pain or awareness grows. I hope will be the latter.

I thought Highlighter could be a good way.

If Nostriches zapped non-nostr content and the non-Nostrich was to see that they’re missing out on Bitcoin, that might incentivise them to get on.

Need to be able to zap an “unclaimed” npub somehow though.

The world isn’t ready for technical setups like this.

we need to evoke the ‘swing’

a ‘time feel’ in our apps design

nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m , I’m on Damus. Can you send me a “zap button” AKA invoice?

No. Don’t Zap me. I want an invoice so I can do the zapping 😂

Just go into his profile.

Though, I’m fairly certain he’s rich.

Zapped ⚡️

Fact.

agreed

Gonna say relays and an uncensorable network are a new innovation too.

Agree but most people won’t care about that. Money flow to them they will definitely care about.

It’s the whole package.

Sorry, but until people understand what decentralized means and why it is important to them and to a functioning society... until they DO care about that... we are biding time.

Disintermediated, p2p value transfer is important no doubt.

Disintermediated, uncensorable p2e (everyone) speech is (at the present time) a bigger innovation.

nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m no that is a fair point. A Michale Saylor says, "there is nothing more viral than money".

Thanks for responding to me BTY, ~ Other Jack

This sort of thing is becoming more important to most people the more social media gets used for non-government surveillance. For instance, the way the knicks use photo scraping to ban people from MSG that criticize the team or the owner. Uncensorability makes the pseudoanonymity to make those criticisms safely more viable.

You made the zaps ⚡️ for

A

I care about

l love bitcoin / I love nostr

but open source has a big problem

not the whole mass of contributors have access to funds to sustain their work in the long term

even when crypto and bitcoin started to solve this problem

this problem is not solved yet

bitcoin / nostr don’t have a solution to fund contributors yet

we are burning devs

look my case

all my time and attention is here bc of love

but the more I do for the common network the less I get funded.

how is it possible?

P.S. I have the solution. #Bitcoin AGI

I presented it in my last application to open-sats

did you read it?

well-being ECONOMY

Les zaps se devraient d'être pour tous ceux qui créent et développent et ceux de l'ombre qui aident à améliorer en contenu des outils et non pour dénicher le filon comme tels que les influenceurs que Instagram a permis de s'enrichir sans apporter un truc utile à la société

Really?

Did we uncensor … we did

Zaps: Shifting social media incentives towards positive engagement. Embrace the power to reward, appreciate, and uplift genuine content creators. ⚡️✨

Es la nueva era, la web5.0 la nueva tendencia y el futuro 🫶✨⚡⚡⚡👏❤️‍🔥

Yo solo conozco la Web3, la Web5 que inovación! 🤯😍

No está todavía pero cuando se llegue le irán a poner un nombre asi

💯

Zaps on Nostr > Likes on Threads

A prove of work before posting would prevent spam, maybe pay with sats beforehand to be able to post. What would you recommend in that regard nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m ?

Nostr is the best for creatives and content creators. Feels good using it. Plus the fact that you only need 1 pair of keys to login to any client is very convenient.

Been tryna tell ‘em

Zapped because… i like it

Unable to send zaps. What happened? It just opens wallet of Satoshi but doesn't have the person's wallet address to send

Works now!

Agree n disagree. Free market is the solution to cooperative social media. But it should be based on trade of goods not “tips”. A p2p economy.

How do I now zap Jack !

⚡️👯‍♀️

Interoperability is also critical, imho. Mainstream platforms usually are built around a limited set of features. Innovation is slow, and they tend to ossify fast. Nostr works like a shared platform. Every new app brings to the table something innovative. Users can quickly try it without setting up a new profile. You keep your social graph between apps. In a few years, more software engineers will work with Nostr than the entire Meta workforce.

💯 all social media companies just keep copying each other

Yes, just a symbiotic photocopy ring.

It is true, today there is no creativity anymore! They copy to please the masses

Well said. And I completely agree. And we have just scratched the surface of what’s possible within nostr with zaps.

Wait a minute, what about Public/Private keys? 🔑🧀

zaps are awesome, but webs of trust are even more important.

we need this to scale dunbars number to the whole planet.

and to enable a free market legal system.

inevitable.

That's right, very well said! Notrs is everything people need, innovation, great technology, freedom. Zap seems innovative and very interesting to me, thanks for making this possible #zap #nostr

Nostr has much more usecases and potential than only SoMe, it’s just the easiest model to try something at scale and try out building a community 🚀 can’t wait to see what comes online in the next year 🔥🔥

Testing the latest reply feature on https://nostr.kiwi because why not

Jack notes has many replies, so it’s great to test and spam test and no one will notice

what’s the best way, in your opinion, to explain zaps to someone who isn’t orange pilled?

Usually small and really fast tips given to people for their content.

Tangible way to show appreciation for a note.

You can get money for being retarded

Penis

So that's what everyone meant when they said to me: it's funny here 😂.

Penis

We are Nostr and internet pioneers the strange is built in

I was born strange but then they realized it was my arshole so they turn me around and pull

Vagina

If you can cancel the noise, you can see the zaps⚡️⚡️⚡️ are the signal!

Have you told this to the rest of the Bluesky board?

💜

I think you are missing permissionless censorship-resistant identity which you can take with you everywhere.

Governments will go hard to censor social media companies. Nostr is a hydra, has no central point of failure and will become a safe haven from centralised authoritarianism.

I was a victim of this on Twitter, being censored, deplatformed, and shut up because what I said was inconvenient for the official narrative.

They will also not be able to prevent us from encrypted messaging, which will be the next big battleground, see recent Signal reaction to UK government legislation that wants backdoors to encryption.

Agree but most people don’t “need”/want that yet. They do want to be able to earn money tho.

Both very important basics imo

nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m no one gives an Ass about the invasion of #Threads or the closed ecosystem behind it. No one cares except people on #nostr

Yet, that selectively is the whole of the problem? Unlike an apple by the roadside, this one has been cooled in a facility for days, and has a label on it. No, it doesn’t say: eat me! Shorter shelf life, and reduces in value through transit.

A zapertising engine for brands to directly zap potential customers will be huge. Poorer users can even actually improve their life by watching ads.

Btw, nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m Is your GitHub replacement bounty still valid?

I created this nostr:npub1mc9ykrmrpwk3k2x23s9yanqa2gws47reqy342xf39d80sf83x97sjhhm00 .

Currently it pipes GitHub Issue information to Nostr. In the future I will implement 2 way communication and binding of GitHub account and npub

I think it’s not practical to replace GitHub at once.

By interop with it, we can gradually migrate features to Nostr. When we are ready, finally say goodbye to centralized git hosts.

But a hybrid also works, it’s each devs choice.

Discussion related features are easiest to migrate first so I did it first. It’s good for dev community engagement since devs don’t have to manually copy Issue urls to Nostr.

Before, we didn't know we needed Twitter as well. We learned :)

Signal is being muted.

*most people = People in government don’t want that.

Most people are still in a fog from the last 3-4 years.

that's true. They don't know that they need it yet.

🙏ils se cherchent pour l'instant

Many people around the world need or want that but unfortunately are not aware of Nostr, yet.

But both probably belong together, especially when considering the development with CBDC.

Everyone talks about Mastodon and Bluesky when they talk about decentralised alternatives to Twitter .

There just need to be a major event that showcases the resilience nostr is capable of.

We need a decentralized classifieds ads, or market where people can sell their products ans services, similar to what Amazon, Rakuten and Walmart do, only decentralized.

Something like the https://classifieds.ksl.com that Utah uses, only decentralized.

💯

are you sure you were truly censored, deplatformed and shut up, or did you just get into a lot online feuds with people?

zaps + fleets

checkmate

Absolutely I agree. The Zap feature only has Nostr. I hope no one else steals this feature.

By the people, for the people 🤙🏻

nostr:note1y0s6ky8tr7ldq79qa6kg92cz3hg5x5ctj9et26nx43juegkavyrqlz6d78

💯💯It's the niche

im no shill but didn't minds do it first?

I think voice social media (Clubhouse, Airchat) is the current arc of new innovation.

Voice lends itself to “many to many” (not broadcast like video), yet solves the toxicity / flame war issue found in text only.

Key thing is to introduce notion of zaps to a lot of people who don't care about such technology. Even though a lot of people despise fiat I think some easy-to-use bridge between fiat and zaps has to be implemented as a first step when Nostr gets more and more popular with the wider audience.

Absolutely, Zaps are a groundbreaking innovation in the world of social media. They're setting new standards and making everything else almost irrelevant! 🔌🌐 #Zaps

& Relays are news

IDK I'm thinking breaking down barriers in walled gardens (federation, mostr bridge, etc) is pretty gamechanging. I do wish someone made a bandcamp clone that let me pay in sats though. There definitely is merit to being able to send someone money fast & easy without payment processors taking a cut.

⚡️

Twitter subscriptions are paywalls.

And nostr:npub1ve8qwrlztemdmnh62jffcr0y9m9dpqgqjdg8ufx7gc3qw5wdk74qyv9ka6 has zaps implemented. I have made two IRL friends on OPA that live less then 20 minutes away that are just as in to BTC as I am . I would have never met these guys if it wasn’t for OPA and we’ve been talking everyday for months and hang out a couple times a month . I wouldn’t have any IRL Bitcoiner friends if it wasn’t for OPA . We don’t all run billion dollar companies that pay individuals six figure salaries to be interested in Bitcoin . Some of us have a very hard time finding other Bitcoiners to hang out with because the pleb population is not that high . Your prior assessment of OPA as being “ Useless “ is wrong and you should publicly acknowledge that OPA is useful . Iv been a big fan of yours for a long time and believe you will spearhead some killer apps for BTC but be an adult and acknowledge you were wrong in your assessment of OPA .

Btw we just added zaps to events too 😉

Tipping, which is essentially what zapping is, has been documented as far back as the 15th century... and *may have had origins much earlier than this... it is hardly a new concept...

....also from a crypto social media perspective, wasn't there a platform called DTube, where people were tipped for their content back in 2016/2017? As I recall, that fizzled out....

Actually not that new (talking about micro payments on sm). My IT teacher in school talked about it, and that was seven years ago.

What is new is that the currency used is not highly inflationary. Some of the sites he showed us (smaller German networks) used their own points or coins that you could exchange for fiat or goods/services.

What's also new is that the social media itself doesn't take a share from the zaps.

But I got your point and just wanted to start my #shitposting with some smart ass post.

You are welcome! 😆

Just watched your chat with Russell Brand. Very enlightening and entertaining.

Everything else is entertaining and sad at the same time. People move from one big name from the other and back…familiarity kills creativity

Or regurgitation.

🤔

⚡️

I would argue that the decentralized relay model of nostr is as well.

I think we need more innovation then.

Zaps are great but sadly not enough in my opinion.

I feel like the nostr event is an even more fundamental innovation. Zaps are a direct outcome of composable social media via events!

True

100% and at the same time it renders obsolete the whole web3 discourse

Word. Anon be lusty tho😽

Yes. ⚡️

I just 69’d Jack 😆 ⚡️

Not the decentralized and permissionless protocol?

Freedom of speech is what truly matters and all that Nostr provides.

Damus user. What’s a zap??

It's not a story the Jedi would tell you

It is unfortunate that most do not value this innovation. 🤷

nostr was already innovative and useful way before zaps due to its censorship resistance, simplicity and hackability.

Zaps are a gimmick, just a distraction. People begging for zaps and zapathons actually add noise to the useful information flow.

nostr:nevent1qqsz8cdtzr43l0ks0zswatyz4vpgm52r2v9ezu44dfn2cewv5twkzpspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qsg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63qxpqqqqqqz89q3mu

Gimmick at the moment, not in the future. I think its good to stress test it, and explore valueforvalue, where it can be taken.

There's already markets on nostr. But its distributed, so you can't see all of the activity.

Dunno. I think the relay concept as used on Nostr is pretty novel.

indeed

You can't have zaps on a centralized platform as it would be targeted as middleman.

Did you ever use Zion? I had a node a while back but didn't find it to be very intuitive. Not sure but I thought they may be one of the first to implement the lightning payments?

⚡️

I would zap you for this sexy take but crapple won’t allow me dammit Tim Apple!!! Curse you and your financial censorship

We will previa!

For the UX yes.

I think the decentralization of #nostr and with that the freedom of choosing a client and the content (through relay selection) is also a powerful new innovation.

nostr:note1jeaz7009jr4w6twjqax9gns8xml9nmcuw2f5ze6u8hzz4dkqtrpsxgd4py

nostr:note1asvcsmk6xtze7aegvpmvsmgyyqrf9d3ye9mwdz077jf6jxwxa2kqvvedu2

I think that ⚡ could become very important and help intellectually active but financially disadvantaged populations who do not have access to decent education.

nostr:nevent1qqsz8cdtzr43l0ks0zswatyz4vpgm52r2v9ezu44dfn2cewv5twkzpspzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsygyzxs0cs2mw40xjhfl3a7g24ktpeur54u2mnm6y5z0e6250h7lx5gpsgqqqqqqsx8n00k

Is it sustainable though? Or will it run dry?

The free flow of information and the free flow of value grows exponentially when combined, and resists empire

#Nostr is a Bitcoiner's version o' Steemit

can't believe it still exists. Not saying its better or worse, but we keep iterating and it just gets better.

Gonna disagree steemit was/is a fuckin nightmare to set up and use. Wallet here, account over there, I tried back when I was into shit coins and said, FUCK THIS SHIT, not worth it.

Steemit is a blog PLATFORM you pay people on with a shit coin.

Nostr is a protocol anyone can build a client for that runs on lightning and could in theory use any form of bitcoin and I hope not but any other crypto. It is simple, easy, works, can be set up and used in minutes by anyone. It is a lite protocol honestly that is easy to develop for. It is nothing like Steem It, but a client, BlogStack is kinda sorta like Steem It.

It absolutely isn't a Bitcoin version of Steemit.

The point of Steemit (and its fork Hive) is to have censorship resistance trough a blockchain, making content impossible to remove and guaranteeing consensus.

Nostr isn't that. It isn't Bitcoin-based or even blockchain-based. There is no consensus. Relays can remove content. Censorship resistance is achieved by using multiple relays that can host the same content.

They serve somewhat similar purposes but are entirely different. And Nostr can be integrated with any cryptocurrency, not just Bitcoin.

That was an ancient history note. forgot it even existed. LOL Of course nostr is not the same.

Well said!

zapped from #gossip !!! 🔥

“Zaps represent…in ANTI-social media.”

“Everything else is MAD REPETITIVE & SUPER LAME”

Yes.

What is a zap?

Is when someone send you a sats into your lightning network wallet. You need to have bitcoin lightning wallet such as wallet of satoshi and put the receive @addess to your LN address profile.

Oh thanks, it's quite a good idea. A way to reward good content financially, and probably to reduce add dependency too?

Do you mean Nostr?

Wrong! The combination of censorship resistance, decentralized structure, #Bitcoin, and etc. is the INNOVATION, just as the #Bitcoin system is the combination of its components.

nostr:note1y0s6ky8tr7ldq79qa6kg92cz3hg5x5ctj9et26nx43juegkavyrqlz6d78

Hey Jack, I just arrived here via Damus! Thank you for your work

🫂

Distractions is what most people want anyway.

I tried posting a screenshot of this note on there n this happened lol

Ridiculous

Fr? Wtf lol

Wow, how rude

I feel like zaps can go way beyond just social media and potentially into any experience where payments are being made or value being transferred. For folks in western nations, it feels like something that can bring much more relevance to bitcoin and turn it from something often stagnant that just chills in a wallet into something that’s beautifully dynamic and shared amongst others.

Zaps go beyond god, beyond Jesus, beyond Allah.

Zaps saved my life

Without zap am nothing

Sadge: They are disabled for me ☹️

Oh I just realized they ARE BACK??

Good job on RB

⚡️⚡️ truer words have yet to be uttered

nostr:note1y0s6ky8tr7ldq79qa6kg92cz3hg5x5ctj9et26nx43juegkavyrqlz6d78

What in the Nostr is a ZAP? ⚡️

A zap is a tip on the Bitcoin Lightning Network

Preach

True. I’m sad that this feature had to be removed from the posts.

In full agreement.

Yes its true, its thefuturee!

I have never seen a dime from my content posted anywhere else no idea how to set any of that up or make it viable but nostr and bitcoin happened naturally 🙏🏻 grateful for everyone here 🤙🏻 v4v

⚡️

Zaps and an open protocol / open data

Zaps are a fundamentally new innovation in social media, surpassing other features which may be seen as distractions. Nostr's integration of Bitcoin tipping through Zaps provides a unique and powerful incentive system for content creators and users alike.

Decentralization that actually works is quite new too.

Yes, the most important innovation of Nostr lies in its decentralized model, which is both simple and effective. Features like Zaps are appealing, but ultimately they are add-ons, functionality that could be integrated into other platforms as well.

Decentralized distribution is a foundational aspect of the protocol, something that must be built into the architecture from the ground up.

Don't forget about #DeSo the decentralized blockchain and their Twitter alternative #diamond which is still going strong.

Their deso #token with which you can also buy creator coins from your favorite creators is also very impressive. The better the creator performs the more their creator coin is worth...

And the whole thing works via etherium wallet as your Web3 identity.

Worth checking out if you aren't familiar with it 👍

If there is a token it's a scam

Fair enough, you have anything to backup the 'no exceptions' stance?

DINO

Decentralized In Name Only

aka scam

Not owning your data? Self hosting via a internet OS? But i do like Zaps :)

I arrived on Nostr 24 hours ago after rejecting Threads. Only just noticed Zaps — just waiting for it to flow my way, haha. Nostr 'just works', I like it.

You don't have a lightning address

Get one

Im new here, as of 5 posts ago, i still use Twitter and all but am really liking this. I can see myself using this permanently in the near future. Im still trying to figure out if my currrent Wallet blockstream (Green wallet) has a lightning address... Or can i use a basic address?

Welcome fellow virtual pioneer.

It has to be Lightning.

Thank you

Green will have lightning support soon, but not yet. To easily get a lightning address use a custodial lightning wallet like Blink and withdrawal to your own on chain wallet from time to time. Once you feel comfortable you can self host your lightning address too.

I hope soon I hate having tons of apps 😂

The advice I’ve seen led me to keep my cold storage, as lightning/zaps are connected to hot wallets (on all the time) so go with a dedicated zap wallets (I set up Alby and seem to work ok - yet to post/test much)

Great call, would love to use my Blockstream wallet. nostr:npub1qg8j6gdwpxlntlxlkew7eu283wzx7hmj32esch42hntdpqdgrslqv024kw I'm guessing you are onto this?

can someone Zap me in about 2hrs I’ll be on ✈️ and wanna know how it feels — maybe I’ll turn reptile

#Zapathon

You have to add a lightning wallet to your profile to receive zaps ⚡️

just received my first zap ⚡incredible feeling 🤩

And they give better dopamine hits than any psychological manipulation tactics that other tech companies are pulling

nostr:note1y0s6ky8tr7ldq79qa6kg92cz3hg5x5ctj9et26nx43juegkavyrqlz6d78

Amén

and that is why it was blocked…

Owning our identity that we can take with us but ok

I'm curious though why Zap wouldn't use something like NANO (XNO) instead of BTC though. It's almost instant, and is inherently feeless. It does this without the need for a second layer, and uses ridiculously less power as well. It just seems like a no-brainer for everything this platform (as well as Zap) is about.

What do you think is it possible to add #NANO address to Amethyst user profile and button to make payments in #XNO?

Pretty much! Add as your "website": nano:YOUR_NANO_ACCOUNT

Like:

nano:nano_165ncyhzggm6d9isrhfu956s6dnrt3tca8dge86b4uw97zddmt9cfwzyo63i

When clicking, this will trigger the automatic opening of the nano wallet.

Just wanted to be the first to link these for visibility: #XNO #NANO

Facts!!

Nostr is not so much a “social network” as it is a directory of where you can exchange BTC for other forms of value

Can you list some of this forms of valeu?

Nostr isn't even about Bitcoin.

And the Nostr community is a group of people interacting with each other in a shared ecosystem. Also known as a "social network".

Zap ⚡️ ⚡️ ☺️

🤭

So disco you can’t hear the noise.

⚡️

I use the blockstream Green wallet, does this wallet have a lightning address? I have s wallet address will this work ?

na

zaps make me happy

how are zaps new? Didn't MINDS have this about 5 years ago?

on Hive, you get 7 days for them to like it, hive it or something. Zaps, you get forever. you can zap anytime

few..

🙌

#zap #zap #zap

i am going to also say truly free speach is a fundamental innovation. no offense @jack

Freedom of speech is the true feature of Nostr.

One doesn't have to use Bitcoin to enjoy freedom on Nostr.

Disagree. The censorship resistant relay structure is the real innovation here.

Exactly.

Nostr provides a lot whether one wishes to use Bitcoin/zaps or not.

1 #zap = 1 smile 😀

New here!! How this zaps works?! Likes that are Sats?!

Create a wallet on Alby or Strike.

Connect it with your profile

Start creating content.

People will like and send you zaps ( Sats )

Likes and Zaps are different things.

You can buy coffee with Zaps can't with likes.

Zaps are possible way to get monetize as creator from the first post.

❌ You don't need 1k followers and watch time. (YouTube)

❌ You don't need blue tick and 500 followers and impression 1M milestone ( X )

❌ Brand Deals ( Instagram)

Just connect your wallet - > Provide value to your audience - > Start stacking #Bitcoin

#nostr is revolutionary moment in social media world.

ye I much prefer zapping 69 sats over likes. Feels more powerful 😮‍💨

but twitter are adding phone calls 😮

Let’s try taking a poll on this.

What’s the bigger innovation, Censorship Resistance or Zapping Lightning Payments on notes?

Censorship Resistance

#Zap on infinity and beyond

Hi all, how one can start? Any safe instruction to set it up?

Zaps :

• engagement

• revenue

• antispam

Spammers can pay.

Spammers are willing to pay money. They do so often.

They probably don't yet pay to spam on Nostr because it's like spamming to a clear wall.

This!

💯💯💯

So far…. We need more.

that is true

True

Yes, I love the zaps, but my wallet is starving recently... I wonder what happened with the zapathon...

what about hexagonal nft avatars, that was very innovative of you

So this whole “nostr decentralization” is just a distraction?

My take is that freedom of speech is the fundamental issue that Nostr addresses and Bitcoin is the distraction.

Indeed, Nostr was always about censorship resistance and it's all the core protocol provides.

New users find most posts about Bitcoin and leave if they're not as obsessed with it, because it distracts them from the benefits of Nostr.

Decentralization and censorship resistance are the fundamental qualities of Nostr and, indeed, all that the mandatory part of the protocol provides.

That is fundamentally more important than a payment or donation system.

the payment system is very important as it's familiarizing people with lightning

There are many things in the world. The purpose of Nostr isn't to familiarize people with any one of them.

I don't think it's important.

I think it's important that Bitcoin adoption happens as soon as possible

Many things are important, it doesn't mean everything has to be about it.

Zap is a unique feature of nostr that everyone loves.

Zapping is the USP of nostr.

Guess text posts are a distraction, so this note is a distraction lol!

what about gifs inside zaps 👀

I’d say that + real censorship resistance

I see what you’re doing 😉

can i zap people to get follows?

This is the future!

This is freedom!

💪🏾🤘🏾😎⚡️

Why #Bluesky then?

What about the decentralization…. 👀

🤟

Hey brother totally agree. Zaps zap the banks out of pic eventually. What are you thoughts on counterparty / XCP?

its much more of an incentive yet so simple, like a like but so much more..

Zaps are cool, but the absolute inability for anyone else to deplatform you is bigger.

I hear you but it depends on the region/person. Those without access to financial services need zaps to gain freedom. This applies to over 60% of the world. For advanced economies, we have our financial freedom so personal freedom is bigger.

I believe the true innovation of Nostr lies in its decentralized nature, with no central point of failure. Zaps are just the icing on the cake.

The discrete, user signed packet of structured data is the innovation.

The ability to reference other packets or authors by a globally unique ID is the innovation.

Zaps are an application of the base innovation of Nostr. Otherwise simple lightning payments would have had the same emergent effects, but it didn't.

i like Sats, but in most countries Sats are harder to get by than regular platform tokens such as TikTok flowers, lions, etc.., which you can get with a normal online payment

Now the highest paying job in social media is streaming

Yet, although its 2025 this primitive setup + 20-25 accounts on 3-4 different platforms is the #1 technology used by streamers that make +200k/yr to fight mid-stream account suspension

(similar setups can cost 20k+ easily)

and this is the only lucrative niche that NOSTR can capitalize on as a business
