Itβs been discussed before. Zap counts can be easily manipulated. Search βfake zapsβ and youβll find the conversations.

I thought people stopped doing that dumb shit, thatβs crazy I forgot now but thereβs like no legitimate way to truly filter them huh
Like in the same way we have βreputable followsβ now we should figure out how to filter out fake zaps and show βreputable zapsβ
This is why you see jb55 hammer away at verifying zaps with own node etc.
Yep. nostr:nprofile1qqs9kqvr4dkruv3t7n2pc6e6a7v9v2s5fprmwjv4gde8c4fe5y29v0sprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsakajtj stats are my favorite π€£
We need βreputable zapsβ now π
I don't worry about other peeps monies
Best advice right here. π
Curious as to why weβd even show the stats in the first place?
I know for a fact mines havenβt been fucked with, neither the receiving or sending
But my followers stat def did get messed with, right after the Miami conference
Total zap amounts in and out are fairly useless stats on their own anyway. People send and receive zaps for all sorts of reasons: tipping for content, buying products, payment for work done, charitable donations, wallet tests, zapvertising, zapathons, paying each other back for dinner out, etc. It isnβt accurate, doesnβt account for private zaps. In my opinion it causes more confusion to show it than not.
i donβt fake my zaps though. You canβt fake zaps for other people, you can only do it for yourself
I remember nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj set something up that spoofed zaps, however I noticed that that mine are no longer showing must have been cleaned up
