How about zapping new people welcome sats? I do it frequently and it’s magical for anyone who experience bitcoin & nostr together first time ⚡️👀
wow, this might be a new interesting milestone 👇
some people have seen highlighter.com:
they don't know about nostr but their curiosity is peeked
they read nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc 's piece and get up to speed
they go around not being able to find who's behind it (I didn't include a 'by @pablof7z' 😅), the end up asking around or emailing random, non-existent addresses (e.g. info@highlighter.com) to try to get in touch

very, very interesting
I truly think this type of use case is very close to unlocking a whole new leg of nostr userbase growth that will simply not be very active on nostr's social network (at first).
All the people that have reached out to me are INCREDIBLY motivated (they had to jump through a bunch of hoops to contact me, including reading what the hell nostr is!)
They all have the type of problem highlighter goes for in their mind for literally 15/20 years (interestingly enough, all people point to a number of year in this range).
is this the first few signs of nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m 's thesis playing out?

Discussion
Yeah, I spoke quite a bit about this in multiple places. Gamify the introductions hashtag by showing top zapped introduction posts along with the number of sats zapped
There’s a feature request on the Damus repo to implement this vision someone wrote (maybe nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 ?)
I have another idea💡
Nostr clients should be encouraging new users to post their first note with particular hashtag like #firstonnostr and people zap those notes with small amount of sats always.
Yeah, that’s the exact idea; that hashtag is already used and called “introductions”
Cool 🤙 would love that feature ⚡️ but everyone should take this responsibility of zapping those notes and promote support sats philanthropy. I’m already doing this but do not get no big support from nostr and community here.
Yes! First thing is to include a first note draft for all new users. We have a design ready for this. Checking with dev team if this is on anyone’s radar.
After that I agree it will be great to include the excellent example first note.

Multiple, and dynamic examples could follow.
I am wary that auto-zaps of first note will be gamed. If there is a quality first note, this means high likelihood that nostriches will interact with it.
