We don’t want it 🤦🏽‍♂️
I wonder what the social economics are of setting a minimum zap amount.
would this result in more or less total zaps received over time?
Would people be more generous in the presence of actual prices instead of tip-anything.
lots of experiments to be done 🤔
I talked about this a long time ago, but maybe there should be a spec for recommended tip amounts: like “buy me a coffee”, etc. configurable by the user. Then clients could render tip/gift buttons for these.
I think i remember nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 complaining about the lack of prices when tipping a long time ago.

you don’t want people to be able to set min amounts if they want to? why shouldn’t they be able to ?
Another interesting thing might be minimum visible amounts. It could prompt the tipper: “user won’t see this tip because zaps are only sent when over 1000sats, etc”
Why would anyone do that? You're just turning down free money. And I don't see anyone zapping a bigger amount after a error message just called them broke for too small of a zap.
Its an entirely voluntary gesture. People shouldn't act entitled to it. Imagine you were homeless and spitting on someone who only gave you a penny. You have no business disrespecting the person giving you any amount when you are just begging.
