we are the largest bitcoin economy and community in the world in terms of transactions sent. we've sent 5 million of them over the last 2 years. that means something. it's important.

Gm fellow zapper ⚡️

gm pv. see you in a week!

Yay! 💃 can’t wait to annoy you IRL again 💫

imagine how many transactions would be sent if we had more than a thousand users

real.

Imagine when Africa really gets involved

So we’re less than a thousand users?

im being provocative, if you include lurkers we are probably around 100k

Ah ok….

Nah theres like 1000 daily zappers

That seems kinda accurate

That's the more accurate metric and we've never increased that either.

We are trying to do our job here..

One more zap

1K zappers daily 😆

You just made a bit more clear the importance of Nostr. 🫡

we're not fucking around.

It blows my mind that ralf is 1% of that

My idol, and frankly I hope to zap more time than him one day, I see about 30k behind

Zap.

The most incredible thing is that this community is still alive. #Nostr is not dead. Nostr has a strong vitality.

actually Nostr is already a market and businesses can sell their products via Nostr, globally

Yes. I've bought and sold several.

Hey Derek, I see you on here alot. I can't zap, and have done everything correct though alby hub. I can't have a primal wallet, because I am in Canada.

Any tips? I recently reached out to nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr but didnt get a response. Is there any resources i can use to do my own research. BTW, I can zap on PC, but not on Android.

hey! so with primal android, you'll need to disable the primal wallet (settings, wallet) and then setup a new NWC (nostr wallet connect) connection to your alby hub. you can then setup your default zap amounts.

you won't be able to remove or use the big zap button in the middle of the app though.

that's something that should be fixed, IMO. it's a bad UX to give people a chance to use an external wallet but not hide the one that they can't use. ill let them know. best case the button stays and just uses NWC.

Appreciate the reply. I have it connected to my alby. Still nothing.

Make it 5 million and one!

we're at 5,019,000+. keep zapping!

Another one

We are all legends 🧡🗽💜⚡️

it's honestly true. no one else is doing what we're doing at scale.

Do we know if this statistic include all zaps? So relays got wiped. Some relays may be not known. It might be more. What about nutzaps?

All Zaps that pass the trust rank if not being spam. Nutzaps are still kind 9735 right? And it wouldn't matter if a relay is nuked, it's still indexed by nostr.band.

I'd say it's fairly accurate. We've hit a milestone approximately every 6 months since inception.

No, they are not. 😶‍🌫️ Kind 9321. I guess the amount is relatively small due to lack of integration in all major clients.

Well, in that case, nostr:npub1xdtducdnjerex88gkg2qk2atsdlqsyxqaag4h05jmcpyspqt30wscmntxy could we get kind 9321 added to the zap kind tracker and tally perhaps?

I need to look at how to parse them properly. Does any of big clients show nutzaps under notes?

I think only Chachi, Olas and Shopstr show them? Maybe more? https://nutlife.lol shows them similar to zaplife.lol

🎉💯

Yes 💪🏻

Well dang, didn't know it was that much.

we're small, but vigilant in our bitcoin is money belief system.

This kind of transaction volume isn’t just a number—it reflects a thriving network of users who trust Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, a store of value, and a tool for financial sovereignty.

Gradually, then suddenly 🤙

Yeehaw ! 🔥

In perspective though, the total amount zapped over the past 6 months is equivalent to a single Porsche 911 Turbo S.

Yes of couse 💜🤟😉

What's the average zap? 21 sats? More? Less?

This is amazing. Still so early.

🙌🏽

Amazing! Sats circulating!

:)

Largest? I'm pretty sure that Satellite Showdown sent 2.2 million sats in four hours.

Hell, with Podcasting 2.0, I'm pretty sure I've gotten over 5 million sats alone over the last four years. 1 sat at a time.

but we're on Nostr now StevenB so only the last 2 years here count.

I remember when we added lightning to podcasting 2.0 and all these small payments were failing and Lightning Labs told us to just send larger payments. 😏

Do we have a number for the total amount of corn transacted?

It means satoshis are working!

It means NOSTR is winning. 🥇

It means zaps are changing the world.

Big W

I'm curious. Does that just include zaps?

If so, don't forget all of the merchant transactions made through the connections made using NOSTR.

This would only include zaps, public and private, but wouldn't include invoices manually created.

So proud do be the only Fiorentino 🇮🇹 on bard! Grazie mille!9
