It died a long time ago when people started to spam meaningless shit just to get zapped
Discussion
I try something some times
note1dcnm8j64p2lm4yx92d3n9zc484yv6clnhkgwvgvp0r9fnwvgugtqdzmkf3
they used to mean something
we used to test the limits of custodial wallets
we used to all rally around zapping devs
fun times, certain ppl killed it
This is why we canβt have nice things
sad but true
couple rotten apples fuck up for everyone else
Also the majority want to receive without giving, hence what you mentioned
yup, youβll see them being the most actively spammy ones
There's a time for everything and zapathons, as a method of stresstesting custodial wallets and in particular WoS, had its time. We slowed down WoS three times? Some dozens zaps failed? That was a worthwhile and valuable experiment, never before the entire LN was stressed this hard!
Now WoS is stronger but we got less Nostr users and even less zapper. There is no point in zapathons at this point.
See it this way: Nostr was the communication channel to organise LN stresstests. That went very well! The gif dumpers and zap baiters took over later. Question is: WHAT DO WE BREAK NEXT?
Iβve been trying to figure that out myself
I do an okay job at finding & reporting bugs on clients but never intentionally tried to break any, I know of a couple vulnerabilities but donβt really have any intention of harming peoples experience on here, who know when tf shit could get patched..
relays seem like the next logical step since we have so many of them breaking a few shouldnβt really affect everyone unless they only store their notes in a small few and have no backups
but yeah apart from that idk what else we should be trying to break, got any ideas ?
... oh you know exactly what to break
