Single-digit zaps are spammy. That’s my current threshold.
But a better question here would be, What amount of zap would make you want to visit my profile/website/etc?
Discussion
That’s a great question. Relative to each person. I’ve been doing 33 sats but I feel like 100 sats or more might be more reasonable and eye catching.
I think 100 is probably a good starting point. A lot of people will fling 21, 42, or 69 sats back and forth on literally any post. They’re fun to send/receive, but honestly I don’t ever pay attention to what’s written in them. You start hitting a bunch of people with 3 and 4-digit zaps and you’ll start getting more attention.
Having not madebit to the left of the decimal yet, my zaps are still small... Shrugs, hoping to hit 1BTC within 4 years, but still fun to send little zaps just cause I can, and no one can stop me. Better than just a like to show appreciation, anyways.
HFSA... Have Fun Staying Annoyed? 😉😂
The original question was related to advertising. Agreed, if the purpose is fun then send whatever amount you want. If you’re trying to advertise your brand/product, then fun is not the end goal. You want the attention of potential customers. How much does it take to get your attention? That’s the relevant question.
how many you
Agree. Maybe 7 is the low bound?
I’m sure it depends on the person. I set my wallet to hide any transactions below 10 sats, and to hide notifications less than 21 sats, and even then I simply don’t look at messages in any zaps less than 3 digits. Thanks for the sats, but not worth my attention to be bothered with that.
This is the price to get the attention of the best member in Nostr.
My price is that I follow anyone who has zapped me 1k
Attention ain’t free 🤝😂 You and I already follow each other, but here’s 1k for good measure sir 😁
OMG 🥹
What if I pay 1000sats for a follow but I only post about how communism is the only way to save humanity?
I don't sell follows, it's just something I've done in the past. Honestly, tryna cut the fat rn.
Also, I'd mute you.
Here’s 1000 sats. We’ve been enjoying the wine! Thanks. Holding onto my Satoshi’s Reserve until the next halving cycle.
Followed because of the comment not the zap.
I'm happy to hear your cold storage is full of the good stuff!
Mine is 99 😂🖕
That said, zaps are seen publicly so as long as it’s visible on the post, anyone who sees that post sees that zap message. In that case, it makes more sense to zap posts that are popular, instead of zapping to get the attention of the person you’re zapping.
I wish I could say I see what you are saying, but I’ve never seen the messages in zaps.
Use a better client. Damus severely lacks features compared to other apps. Nostur, Primal, and Yakihonne are much better.
I just tried #Nostur and #Yakihone. Conversion was rough on the follower/following count, and now see missing responses in DM and how zap messages are displayed, but those two apps were cluttered vs. simple #damus. I’ll try primal next but keeping expectations low.
If none of those apps work out to your liking, maybe you can convince the Damus team to add the feature you want. It’s useful to see the zap messages on the notes as you scroll. As for follower counts, there’s no consistency with that because it depends which relays your app is pulling people’s contact lists from. Each app handles it its own way. Nostur just shows infinite followed if I remember correctly, which is probably my favorite 🤣
Zaps with clever comments work way better for me. I send em a lot too when I wanna do a drive by and not get reply notifications.
Agree with you on single digits tho, it’s better than a like I guess… but something feels off. I’d rather10 likes and one fat zap across multiple posts. Then I get a gauge on what you’re into. Like it literally helps you get to know someone online in higher fidelity IMO…
