ill just say it..

the funding difficulties of nostr clients that we all use would end immediately if the client we used received 1 sat from every zap transaction. we wouldn’t even notice it, and it would foster healthy innovation, competition, and some amazing nostr clients would come out of it.

I'm pro this model, have said it from the beginning but it was not popular amongst influencers of early nostr 😁

I may not have joined if there was a pay wall, even a tiny one. People joining Nostr are very much on the fence

but is it a pay wall? you don't have to zap...

Well that is true. I wouldve definitely still joined if it was the same minus the like button

Apple doesn’t allow that but on other products yes

funding difficulties of a lot of projects or outreach could be solved exactly this way.

not sure, if this works, could only find it through primal but Adam curry and Gigi talked about this model too

I’m down with it.

if it’s automated entirely people might opt in

It's already automated sort of. Why not have people pass the note on and just zap it with their support?

Problem solved.

how do I set this up?

WOW we just reinvented Taxes 🤯

voluntarily funding the future you want doesnt require an armed extortion organization.

Can you turn the function on and off?

It works well with renoting, and zapsplits.

What happens if one sat is worth $0.1, we go with millisats?

I understand that funding is complicated, but we already have paid relays and subscriptions.

Wouldn't it get too much at some point that it turns users away? Obviously its happening on the client side, and I'm very open to experiment with different models.

Definitely a possible option.

It would be nice to have an option to split every zap while using a given client

You can fund a client with 1 sat per zap

You can fund your employees - staff of “company abc” get 1 sat per business transaction on nostr

it just makes so much sense for so many reasons.

As usual in FOSS, funding difficulties of nostr clients would decrease if most nostr developers collaborated on one reference client and a few purposeful forks.

Instead, as usual, each prefers to be a capricious dictator over their client.

P.S. Any #tax is set so that most "wouldn't even notice it, and it wouldfoster..."👎

I know if you publish an article on YakiHonne, you can set it so that any zaps received on the article, YakiHonne gets X amount.

Also they have a “support YakiHonne” function that appears after a set amount of scrolling.

the 1 sat zappers would notice it
