Reminder: Zaps are our killer feature for two reasons:
1) We reward valuable content with valuable satoshis.
2) They are a fun and frictionless way to introduce someone to the Lightning network.
The shitposts and insane zapping are just as important as the long form interesting content. Both serve a unique purpose and has their place here on Nostr.
We are winning.
Most importantly, zaps offer an alternative to advertising.
i don't believe we've seen a business here taking advantage of this though. when we do, we'll probably also see algorithms being built into clients to show content with higher zap values. ugh. i don't know if we want that.
I've been testing that out recently. Everytime I follow someone new I send them a 100 sat tip with a message 'Followed - BTC Fiend' figuring if a user sees that note attached to their tip, they might be so inclined to follow me back. I imagine this type of 'guerilla marketing' could also be used in the advertising space.
That’s a good idea
Agreed completely Derek. Still waiting on a client to build a way for have the 🤙 action be a +1 zap.
if and when clients become lightning wallets, which they can easily do now with Breez, we'll see 1 tap zapping and streaming of sats from your balance.
Amen to that brother, another victory zap is headed your way⚡️⚡️
