At 10:00 pst I will take the highest zap on this post, double it, and send it back.

Hmm
Hmm
Sounds like something a Central Bank would say.
Proof of reserves or No Bueno.
Okay zapping 21m Bitcoin. Hold for transfer please 🫡
Sounds like a trick. Is this the real manager of nostr? Anyone know?
He's one of the guys scamming people into free speech
Should we not tell one of the mods?
Punk! 🫵
There are no mods 🤙
He will get probably makes more than double the highest bid in total and will make money on it, seems legit…
Haha I see so we ask Will double what we want on a Thursday. He presumably goes to jack and then jack says yes or no (but he only recently sold tinder so he has money to burn and says yes) we get emailed maybe tomorrow with our money back but doubled.
Are *you* real?
That’s Will all right
Did Elon hack your account?
let the shitcoining begin!
Paid for with your own money no matter the size or up to the amount gained from non winning zaps? This is like a lightning powered raffle drawing!
New revenue source just dropped
zap my post, I will pool everyone’s zap and send it at 9:59 pst
shit lol
Lol but this could be a cool automated raffle program if you ‘sold’ fixed denomination zap entries and chose a random one to win. Say you need to submit the zap on a particular relay to enter, find some cryptographically random way to select a winner from among the zaps, could be built into the app open source like a poll or any other type of unique note… but if I were you I’d not build or operate this except as a nym; see history of satoshi dice
Oo or make it private zaps only, encrypted with a key unique to that post, keys to view only get revealed to public after it’s over
🤔
Decentralized timestamps are a tricky thing tho.. any way to put decryption info into bitcoin block but can only be read at a future block height? #[4] timestamp scholar, thoughts?
Not that I've seen...
Any way to include some data that ‘timestamps’ a note to the current block height? Sounds like something ZK proofs (aka magic) could do, prove a block height timestamp was the maximum block height at the time the proof was computed? Maybe requires these timestamps to be rolled-up and the proof included in that block tho? Time is so…relative.
You big brain lol
Let the party begin. 🤣
🍿
You can’t fake timestamps on these. The timestamps are generated by my lightning node and are the exact time the payment was received. The closest to 10:00 but not 1 second after is the winner.
This may get crazy…
Nice try IRS!
危险的游戏👀
谁知道最后一秒钟会发生什么故事呢…
This is the zapathon we just sit in this chatroom thread and watch the number go up. Maybe talk about weed and play songs? I can't play on this one I don't have enough.
Zapem!
This is absolutely (no way, who could have thought that?) what scammers would do. Inb4 the entire global is just this, looking just like Will or Jack or NVK or...
...careful guys.
Well, this is gonna be the topic of the day.
50k!!! - minute left
i thought i had 12 hours / can’t read
Congrats #[1] !
Although I lost money on this. Experiment fail lol

🥳🎉 Gz
An interesting experiment, nonetheless. The psychological conflict was amazingly exhilarating. 😂🤣
50k X 2 = 200k ?!? 🤔😆
Oh my bag. Thought you zapped him the whole 200k he received. Gonna shut up now 😅
In all honesty, I figured I was donating to a good cause. I assumed one of these heavy hitters would slap down a million sats…

Aap wakai me imandar or dilchasp hai 🫡💜
I think at least half the people on the list were sleeping! I would have definitely tried something stupid and regret it later! 🐶🐾😂😂😂🫂
I zapped 100,00. #[2] doubled it to 200,00. Then zapped my post. All beautifully verfiable. 🤌
Yes I'm not saying this is malicious. Just thought he was drunk or something. Could have been! 😆😆
I thought so at first 😅
too bad that I only just saw this 
Do you mean to say that the more I zap you, the more you will double ?🤨
Oof, clever.

TLDR: I don't like this game.
Kind of scammy if you ask me. Intended to have more than 2 participants trying to match each other, you are almost guaranteed to never pay in this game so the expected return for players is negative.
You need a contingency for really high-ballers. Node has no 1BTC liquidity or you have an emergency sock-puppet to out-bid the high-baller. After all, you introduced no check on timestamps, so you could always fit in an event after high-baller and before timeout. And so could they ... ten minutes later and nobody would have proof of anything.
Scammy for myself apparently. I lost money on it.
The game is one I would not want to see being plaid much on nostr for its scammy nature. It's been plaid with cash on a million occasions and those most drawn to play it are scammers.
I'm not assuming you would make a living of scamming other people but for the flaws mentioned, I would prefer to see less of this kind of games here. To suggest this was a good thing to play on nostr is over-selling zaps and nostr and can back-fire.
Looks like a penny auction….
