Dear Bounty Hunters,

We’re exploring a new way to determine the daily winner—zaps still reign, but the number of zaps and likes would also carry weight.

Potential New Formula:

Zap Amount + (Number of Zaps × 10) + (Likes × 10) = Engagement Score

Example 1:

📹 Video A – 5,000 sats, 25 zaps, 50 likes

5,000 + (25 × 10) + (50 × 10) = 5,750 Engagement Score

Example 2:

📹 Video B – 3,000 sats, 25 zaps, 50 likes

3,000 + (25 × 10) + (50 × 10) = 3,750 Engagement Score

This keeps it fair, transparent, and easy to verify. What do you think? Feedback welcome! ⚡ #BullishBounty

I like the way it was created. The idea is brilliant and highlights a unique innovation that Nostr clients brought compared to other social networks: the zap.

In the end, everything is well aligned—whoever gets the most zaps wins. Spam and similar issues are part of Nostr’s nature, and I don’t see a way to completely eliminate them. Maybe a relay with some rules could help mitigate the problem, but a definitive solution doesn’t seem feasible.

Agreed, and we appreciate this perspective. It reminds me of the Corndolrian meme with Justin Timberlake about dropping likes—Zaps are cleaner.

That said, we’re exploring ways to reward other forms of engagement while ensuring that zaps always carry the most weight.
