I’d like to be able to attach a sat amount to reactions. Reactions are great and communicative but I would love if every reaction could also transmit a value of my choosing.

For raw zaps, I don't think so. It's not a product or service, it's just appreciation.

But for an article, a bit of code, or something of value that takes effort to create their should be a market mechanism that can help find price.

minimum zap amount for what? tip where?

it's not good to set a minimum amount for most things, for tipping it makes no sense, especially with zaps, even 1 zap is valuable,

if you're selling a service, then set a price

It's too late for any of this. Nostr is ossified, it's past the days where talking about changing this or that spec is a realistic conversation. There is no realistic mechanism for any such change to propagate. You can tinker in Damus, but there ain't no big "spec" stuff happening no more. About two years ago was the cut off.

Where nostr 1.0 is at now, that's pretty much it for the rest of its life, take it or leave it.

People already have the choice of amounts to "tip".

'Minimum' tips is arbitrary and fiat and controlling lol

Interesting thought experiment.

You could set a price floor on the Lightning address side today.

My vote is 99.

We don’t want it 🤦🏽‍♂️

Interesting to think about. I think zaps are pretty much just for zapwalls and similar transactions. Minimum tips would lower the number of zaps but the total amount tipped, unsure, depends on the case, but would also probably tend to be lower most of the time (maybe). Besides zapwalls and marketplace stuff, the only part of this that makes sense to me is suggested donation levels of one specific amount, like "but me a hodlbutter (9000 sats)" and "buy me a coffee (3000 sats)." These would go great on a person's profile or some kind of pinned directory, however nostr handles external links, extra info, and such.

I thought the free market was supposed to decide.

Looking back on my bitcoin transaction fees over the years I realize how stupid I was thinking fees were cheap.

Things that are said here are not that valuable.

Most of the time, people receive the satisfaction of engagement, building relationships, having uncensored speech.

IMO, ones who should really make money are people who are actually spending money, Relays runners, app maintainers, media hosting servers.

Sats are just a plus.

69 and 1031 should be the defaults

I think user set minimums would be your best bet (technically might have to be an auto refund).

> Sorry, your zap was too small and returned by the user

Shame is an important part of maintaining societal standards.

Not as a tipping experiment but as sales, you make a lot more by setting a price vs letting user specify any amount. And minimum usually begets minimum.

Hmmm

The Price of the Tipping-Point Tomorrow

Hello, care to chat?

I’ve mulled over this too, especially after my fishing yacht cruise in Dubai. Let me spill: when the charter company (https://www.yachtdxb.com/yacht-packages/fishing-yacht-charter-dubai-cruise-catch/ ) added those ‘treat the crew to a drink’ style tip prompts, it felt way less weird to tip. Instead of holding back, everyone pitched in happily, kinda like how knowing the best spots to fish in Dubai made us reel in more catches. Clear cues just work, huh?
