Nostr Web Client

If we want to continue the path towards a more transparent economy we must consider that there are currently weak measuring tools of value.

If you “like” it's a nice gesture, it's not offensive, it’s not really anything of value. I want to create emotion in the individual. Thats why I support V4V if i get value I give value.

If you are creating a nostr app for the people and include “reactions” you are continuing these false flags.

Nostr is not for what you are used to. Nostr is not for doing what they did over there. Nostr is for strange weird rebellious people creating the new online world that will welcome all with open loving arms.every single human has that in them.

But how will these people get sats? The same way you did. either buy them from a bitcoiner, or my preference earn them from a bitcoiner. I loosely quote Jeff Booth: “Spend and replace pleb”

I wonder if onboarding into a zap-only client would incentivize people to explore btc & v4v more. I think if I hadn't known of either, I likely would have explored it right away... but I don't think I fall into common behavior demographics.

I also wonder how replies & conversation would fair if the majority went that way. One thing about likes & reactions that is sort of a positive for the whole, is they create room for signal in replies. There's a sticker reply plague killing any hope for meaningful conversation on fb lately & that whole thing made me think a lot about what a 'like' does actually provide beyond data collection😅 I'm definitely guilty of emoji replies from time to time, but I honestly wonder what percentage of likers would default to that, if they couldn't just click a button.

I appreciate these insights. It has come to my attention that zap and non zaps create a very different feel. I am testing out fountains integration into nostr. The notes I see now have likes as the current version is a direct pull from nostr.

This was me trying to articulate my thoughts and seeing what others contributed, thank you.

I have a Bitcoin knowledge and its how I found nostr & fountain I can't say how one would experience zaps only. However I remember the first time boosting Canadian Bitcoin pod. And it was magic. I earned sats and could then use them to create value for others. I paid for content by the minute and I could expressed my gratitude imerdiatly. Its still such a revolutionary idea.

As for emojis I really try to stick to my analogs besides my ✌️💜⚡🫂

:p :D

I was just kind of thinking aloud too. There's definitely a different feel to it all with every client or app or feature. No one is having the same experience. Which is really cool & weird to think about.
