First of all you should set up your wallet, people here send micro Bitcoin transactions to each other. We call them ZAPs.

If you need any help let us know

I think I got it set up. :)

So are people sending sats instead of likes?

They only send sats here.

You can do that. Or comment, or repost their note. Or multiple.

Yeah, like this

I think Iโ€™ve got it. Thanks for the quick reply and assistance. ๐Ÿ‘

You learnt pretty fast, nice

Can everyone see how much was zapped on a Note? Or is that only viewable to the author?

Everyone can see that

One more question. If I zap a reposted note, who gets the zap? The OP or the reposter?

OP, but you have to look at it properly sometimes their can be two zap icon for both reposter and OP

Thatโ€™s friggin dope. So if something โ€œgoes viralโ€, then the OP can get all the Nostr cred?

There is no algorithm for boosting content to make it go viral, but yes, if you "boost" a note, all engagement goes to the OP. If you "quote" a note, the users who see your quoted note can engage with either the OP's note or your quote note or both of them.
