I’ve been zapped $20 this last week posting less than 10 tweets.

I have less than 4000 followers on Nostr and 1m followers on Twitter, that’s 250x less followers.

$20 x 250 = $5000 for 10 tweets.

Nostr has potential to be the next content creation platform that will pay better than YouTube.

I'm new here, using amethyst, how does one 'Zap'?

In your profile you need to add a "lud6 or lud16" address. The format looks like a email address. The easiest way is a service like #[4] . When you install it gives you a address. There are other services for lud16 addr but you also need to make sure the service supports nip57. Basically your nostr client when you zap someone goes to the server specified and checks if it has a field named allownostr = true. If so it talks to the server and gets a fresh lightning invoice.

Thankyou. My lightning wallet is Muun, do you know if that can work?

Truly mind blowing 🤯

Potential, yeah.

I don't believe that the 996k followers who might join us in the future will also be as crazy as us when it comes to zapping 😄

And no algorithm, no censorship, no middleman, no 💩🪙’s! All signal…

Im thinking about quitting my job to become a full time nostr content creator. 🤣 I'm gonna be filthy rich.

You are assuming linear growth (revenue/users). Are you sure? Most bitcoiners are here, the normies are not. Discuss.

True! It will all work out nicely as long as the relays can afford their existence. In the long term, there has to be a way for the relays to systematically receive a piece of the revenue that big content creators potentially generate.

I'll be zapping you as well as soon as I get a lightning wallet set up and linked to Nostr. Love and appreciate your content!

What is the zapping habits of twitter bots? 😅

I was thinking the same thing. Granted all 1M won’t be bots but I suspect 5-10% (maybe even as high as 15%) of anyone’s large following are bots.

I have 500 followers on twitter and 10 here, guess 300+ of my followers on twitter are bots 😅

I’d say it’s closer to 25-50 (maybe as high as 75). That doesn’t seem crazy, right?

Seems followers are reset regularly. For me at least

This is the way ⚡️🖖🏻

If/when that happens, that’s hyperbitcoinization.

💯👍

Agree, sir. Love to see your analysis here.

Don’t think it makes a lot of sense to extrapolate these numbers like this, but it sure has potential for new business models.

Awesome stuff.

Straight sats homie

I am setting up a small online business accepting only BTC and ⚡ for payment. If any of you guys can set up some inbound liquidity on a channel to me I would be most thankful. PM me if you can. I only have one outbound channel set up so far. Trying to do my bit for the circular BTC economy!

I can’t seem to view your charts on Damus

Willy keeps posting Aldo keeps zapping

Love the calculation and your conclusion even better! 🤣⚡️💪🏻

The beauty is it already is

We need a nostr-baaee You Tube equivalent. Let content creators monetize directly to viewers, and leave those damn commercials behind us.

Agreed

I def think today people who use nostr are more tech savvy and likely to make these donations. Would be interested if this persists and scales.

That said, nostr is much most crypto native, so it might be built into the culture.

Meanwhile I’ve zapped $10+ to other plebs this week 😅🤣

Great context Willy, thanks for that
