Nostr Web Client

Zaps aren’t meant for purchases or fundraisers. I think some clients are implementing these in separate UIs.

Users zap for different reasons but mostly as a reciprocal value for value transaction. It’s a clever way to tip content creators and open source developers without third parties.

So let’s assume that zaps are for tips. You’re going to be tipping things like newsletters, right?

The problem there is that tips are not a reliable way for a newsletter to operate. If they do it just for fun, sure. But the monthly subscription model came about for a reason (to be able to better predict budget).

Tips to Developers are the same

What else would you tip?

No one should be dependent on zaps like no one is actually dependent on tips IRL. Zaps haven’t been fully developed yet. You’ll see many applications for zaps soon including zapwalled content in which case they aren’t going to be just tips

Paywalled content as well as “pay to DM (if not friend of a friend)” i totally see value in
