Zapping is merit-based redistribution of sats.
In the future, sats will flow to us as we move through life, finely calibrated to the amount of value we provide to the world around us.

That’s the dream. I think we need a clearer plan for how we will put it into practice. I think one of the key aspects is transparency. E.g. right now I would love to fairly reward the devs working on nostr and the clients I’m using. However, it’s very hard for me to know who that is. And the solution is not to zap those that are loudest on the platform.
Thinking about this a little more, you almost need some loose organization (e.g. all Damus devs) agreeing on and communicating their contributors’ approximate share in the platform over a given period of time. Zappers can then use that as a blueprint to distribute their payments.
Now that is ⚡️worthy deep
..sounds a bit too much like social credit. all depends on where one finds merit.
I don’t get what you are saying? Each person is free to determine what constitutes value for them and reward it on their own impulse
It’s as if it’s like money… 😂
It's a great thing that each person is free to reward what they like but it's not the end goal.
Imagine if nostr was here in 1905 and a struggling unknown patent clerk dared to challenge Newtonian physics with an audacious theory called Relativity.
That clerk, Albert Einstein would have never got off first base and many advanced technologies we have today would never had happened.
Now don't get me wrong. I love nostr's potentials and it's time has come. But every thought system has edges and boundaries and unforseen outcomes.
Example might be that Blockchain (plus machine learning plus AI optimization) tech is perfect for a market based social credit system. Eventually all of us are going to be revealed and our conduct on the blockchain will be for everyone to know. When we few percent become oligarchs I reckon the 98% who feel left out would be more than happy to sign up for a "Know Your Bitcoiner Oligarch" and for a report of their spending habits - indicating personality and legitimacy.
Every new tech has unforseen consequences both positive and negative
call it my overactive fear of potential for groupthink.

Well pointed out!
love the concept of having to entice someone to give up their hard earned, HODL coins by offering substantial value in return; *very* bullish on the healing effect that a #V4V economy will have on the world🧡
🤙🏻⚡️
Yes, a direct physical representation of the energies flowing between us.
Physical value
Emotional value
Mental value
Spiritual value
People spend their sats where they want upgrades.
Hey Sama!
