Yes I warned of that earlier when someone said zaps should be anonymous.
You can’t stop this entirely, however the human verification project by #[3] is the kind of thing that will allow people to see through this bullshit.
No reason that can’t keep people pseudonymous, people can still run alts, they just can’t create fake armies of crap because nobody will trust those zaps.
Ill take zaps from anyone that will send them, its just when users zap someone for good content, it doesnt need to be a public display of bragging rights. Bad incentives.
Do you expect a $100 bottle of wine is better than a $10 bottle?
You do right?
Is there anything stopping you from enjoying the $10 bottle more than the $100 bottle?
No.
Price is merely a signal. The value zapped to a post is indicative of how the market values it, it doesn’t provide a qualitative assessment of the note merely a financial representation of consumers.
And a easy to find, publicly listed target on your head for taxes or wrench attacks
Stand out the front of your local liquor store and target the blokes coming out with $100 bottles of wine then..
Not saying this won’t happen but if I wanted to find wealthy people to attack, https://zaplife.lol would not be my first port of call.
Nostr with 100M users would be regular people, like on facebook, connected with friends, family, kids at school, ex wives, not to mention institutions we dont want to have that info like governments, etc.
And Bitcoin is well in to 6-figures, there is literally millions times more content on nostr available than today, pretty much every fiat system will be available on nostr/Lightning at that scale and it will be government’s biggest enemy in the world.
Do you think people are going to spray Sats around like they do today with Nostr at 100M Users?
It wont be govs biggest enemy if we put all the financial data on a pretty spreadsheet for them and post it in their face.
