If you zap yourself we'd see it. You'd have to do it from an alt. If it's an account that is new or old or looks spammy, that would also be an indicator.

Yeah zapping yourself is pretty clear π

Self zap, worse than a self like! π¬ There has to be a better name for this.. yapping ππ€·ββοΈ
Instead of Zapping it's literally Fapping.
Whoβs doing NoZap November shis year ?π
It might look that way, but I was just experimenting. π€£
Ok. Suuure! Did you inhale?

π€£π€£π€£
Might as well make it worth it if you do! π«

Atta boy!!! β‘οΈβ‘οΈβ‘οΈ
Yeah you'd tip from an alt.
And yeah you could check the 'realness' (for lack of a better term) of a profile I suppose.
But most people would just see the zapped amount and judge it off that.
We gonna have zap police? Lmao.
It's a free protocol you can start a department if you'd like.

Im good.
Just trying to stir conversation regarding it.
I guess the real cost would eventually be your reputation.
Not really an issue if you're creating burner nostr accounts to scam newbies.
Something to think about as this evolves.
There will almost certainly be a "zap summary" reply bot somewhere that gives you that information. "This person has been top zapped by the same user X 10 times"
π Iβve been zapping myself to test my setup . I *think* I got it
Donβt zap yourself too much, you will go blind im or grow hair on your palm.
So said the LN_Granny
How would you know?
I received my own zap but feel free to zap me to confirm, Iβll zap you back
There you go...i didn't see anything special.
Saw it come in in my wallet! And zapped you back !
But I do not see any change in the zap count in my post ( Iβm using Damus , I thought it would show ) Did you zap me or tip me?
I can see my zap amount next to the β‘οΈin the post I zapped
But nothing in any of my posts π€
Do you have nip-05 installed?
I do, look at my nice purple check
And on my connected wallet side I have my npub in the nostr NIP-05 section
Ah it must be a Damus thing
