Perhaps the content isn't more valuable? I mean most zaps are just 'likes', but provide little actual value.
Creteore valuable content and zaps will be higher. Take v4v podcasts, there are routinely large zaps and even recurring payments by the minute.
I zapped you 51 though, lol.
You seem to be reading into my post as if Iām saying these are the zaps I received. This is stats for all of nostr. On ALL of nostr 82% of all zaps for the past month are under 50 sats each. Thatās pathetic. Thereās a lot of good content here, and a wide variety of it. I think you are right that most people treat zaps as ālikes.ā That likely explains these stats. I think that trend needs to change.
zaps 1.0 are too public to send any real value with.. needs 2.0
Every client needs to implement private zaps at least as an option.
private zaps are not good enough either.. they expose the receicer unwillingly to public accounting
Using a zap-enabled lightning address is optional already though.
when you send a zap, the fun part, or essential part really (paying for jerkey) is the person noticing. what zap 1.0 hasn't solved is that, because it's both unreliable (i send private zap, most clients don't see it) lightning send, they don't see it or can't see who sent it. AND too public, (public tallys of all time zaps sent or received).
Once the initial coolness wore off, I think most bitcoiners prob looked at how it worked and said, cool microtransactions is all it's good for.
I disagree completely with your conclusion. Look at zaps on Nostr in comparison to boosts on Fountain. If the public nature of zaps was the issue then the amounts would be similar. But Fountain users boost much larger amounts even though itās public.
Nope, not at all. I'm saying generally speaking, the notes aren't amazing enough for people to send a few hundred or thousand sats, clearly.
It's also a tiny ass place. If we had 100 million users sending 20 sats, that's massive.
Same goes on X. How many people are going to send 10 cents to a buck to a person for tweeting? Not many. Rumble might be a good test with tipping Bitcoin and usdt easily. Although their viewership is small also.
The fractional and small model is great I think for now. Proof of working.
