I wonder what the social economics are of setting a minimum zap amount.

would this result in more or less total zaps received over time?

Would people be more generous in the presence of actual prices instead of tip-anything.

lots of experiments to be done 🤔

I talked about this a long time ago, but maybe there should be a spec for recommended tip amounts: like “buy me a coffee”, etc. configurable by the user. Then clients could render tip/gift buttons for these.

I think i remember nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 complaining about the lack of prices when tipping a long time ago.

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.

kind of silly, good ideas get adopted quickly. Follow packs were a recent example

Those are salad-bar ideas. You're talking about actual spec.
