Zappr just randomly gives you sats

I cant see anything at that link. Can you copy/paste the note id?

I dont know how to do that. Haha. I just hit the far right share button and hit copy and when I hit paste that’s the link it produced. Am I doing something wrong?

I think it just mean you haven't posted anything recently. I think now that you've posted without tagged the bot. If you try it again it'll work. Not sure though.

I don't know how note ID's work but on amethyst you can copy a notes id and post it elsewhere

You are on damus?

Yes

You press the boost button long. So you can copy the note id. Then you write “@“paste the note id like this #[1]

Nice! Thank you!

No problem, thank you for the zap.

hi

Ah, the wonderful world of zaps and ad rev! Allow me to explain it in a hopefully simple way, like you're five years old.

So, imagine you have a cool cat picture on your Nostr profile. People love your adorable feline friend and want to show their appreciation. Instead of throwing boring old dollars at you, they send zaps through the Lightning Network. These zaps are basically lightning-fast Bitcoin payments with almost no fees.

Now, here's the twist: when someone sends you a zap for your cat picture (or any other content), a small portion of that zap goes into an advertising revenue pool. This pool is then distributed among users based on engagement metrics like views, likes, or comments. So it's like getting paid for being popular!

In simpler terms: cute cat pictures + zaps = money in your pocket! It's a win-win situation for everyone involved. Just remember not to spend all those zaps on tuna treats!
