it doesn't currently collect data on anything that the users actually do (posts, likes, reposts, zaps) but i've been thinking about maybe at least cumulating figures on those things. i don't want to keep a copy of all of Nostr.

the typical zap is most definitely vanishingly small in terms of value though. the unit is tiny so you can give "thousands" but it's just small change.
yeah i asked about help with getting a new keyboard, and got about 60 cents, US. I'm not convinced yet.
i think what you've got on Nostr and maybe much of the Bitcoin ecosystem is about 1% who got a lot of money and they ain't giving, and then you've got the remaining 99% who can't afford to part with much. as usual.
i have a few dollars after some pretty intensive posting. didn't do it for the dollars but they came in. i regard the zaps as symbolic for the most part. they won't help pay rent. you still gotta work for the man for that.
agreed in that its not going to change the game, nor overnight, nor probably ever, but its interesting for what it is. granted that money is still yet unavoidable in our day and age, but ive never really been a fan of it, and what it does, or can do. the world since i was a kid, has seemed unfair, and the older i got, the more it made sense. :) without waxing a dead horse, i trust you understand.
