I just spent the last 55 minutes or so doing over 1000 sats using Nostrgram + Alby Extension, though I may have attempted several hundred more.

This is a rate of over 1000 Zaps per Hour (ZPH). Maybe a small hill will show up on on some WoS charts between 0440 and 0535 on 2023-03-10. I was zapping for 1 sat on each of these.

Some lessons learned for maximum zapping...

- Pick layouts that provide multiple columns

- Don't work from the top down. Instead, load the view, and press End a few times to go down several pages.

- Work bottom up to allow so that expansion of the interface (for showing the countdown) doesnt intefere with your next click

- If you accidentally click a post, stay in it, and try to zap all the replies

- Click to the side of dialogs you want to close (like posts threads, error messages and prompts). Don't worry about hitting the X button or OK.

- Dont bother with the autoscroll option. Because its constantly moving it makes it tricky to land on the icon to zap.

- Because there were not enough posts in my feed I had to go through many views and even zap several of them multiple times.

Here are some errors I got.

1. Zap failed. Reason given: Unable to access the well-known URL of this provider. LN address copied to the clipboard instead.

2. Zap failed. Reason given: Unable to access payment URL of this provider. LN address copied to the clipboard instead

3. Zap failed. Reason given: Amount is out of bounds

Of the errors, the first two were fairly common. About once every 10-20 zaps. The last one I dont know what it means. Perhaps a request to zap was met with an invoice that didn't equal my amount?

#[0] Maybe an option could be added to Nostrgram to have these errors display as less intrusive toast messages instead of dialogs?

In the console, I would also see this alot: WebLN call alrady executing but didn't bother diagnosing what was causing that. Seemed to happen more often if I had more zaps queued up.

Stated another way...

In less than an hour, I did more transactions on Lightning then I did in all traditional fiat rails (cash, fedwire, ach, visa/mastercard etc) for the entirety of 2022. Easily.

Lightning works and it scales.
