Introducing Top Zaps

We just released an update to all Primal clients. You’ll notice that we now render several top zaps at the bottom of each note. The top zapper gets their zap message displayed. Brevity is enforced: we only allow room for 4-5 short words. Anyone can zap any note and include any message. Note author can mute abusive users and keep their sats. Let’s see how this goes!

This is great. Zaps are the signal and we should showcase them more so to hammer home this message to help promote Zaps and value for value.

oh I see this is already live in Android πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€ great work.

Amazing. Great job Miljan. Congratulations πŸ’―

Great zap⚑️

Really Parimal is doing the work of next level πŸ’œπŸ™

The new update looks really slick. Great job!

Zapvertising is back ⚑️

yesssirrrr

Awesome ⚑✨

Great πŸ€™βš‘

back to the future ⚑️

make zaps great again

Super impressive! Well done.

Well now I can see that a large zap I sent yesterday does not appear to have gone through. My primal wallet says it did, but it is not shown beneath the user post.

same, same I can see the deductions but not bellow the note.

The receiving wallet service needs to publish the receipt for the zap to appear. Can you please DM me so that we can take a closer look?

Noice

Very nice, top zappers style reminds me telegram reactions style… looks good 🫑

Exactly why I picked it!

There is another detail taken from Telegram but I'm going to leave it a secret to see if anyone else who uses Primal sees it πŸ‘€

No @ in front of miljan? But there is in front of your handle…so, I dunno.

We need a bad connection to be able to see it πŸ‘€

Reach to capture the moment

I like It! 😍

Moar zap features. I hope every client follows suit on this πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Hint hint, nostr:npub1n0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qnflahe 🀣

We hope so too!

Primal followed nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft's lead on this. I think nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x was the first client to implement the top zaps feature.

nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr was first to be fair πŸ˜‰

Wow nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr rugged my 100k zap and gave the crown to nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx ? Wait is this the collusion FUD playing out???? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

🀣 you didn’t pay 100k. Your photoshop skills are really good. We all know this!

We weren't sure about that zap. Can you please try again? Higher amount this time please.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAA

sir, I have cryptographic proof from your node!!!

Maybe. You should still try again. It will prob work next time.

Sick 🫑

I'll bet your can't zap me more!

The IRS thanks you.

fuck the irs

Be nice to update the message as you zap

Press & hold the zap button. That will bring up the option to set custom amount and message.

how do you add thΓ© message with the zap

Usually the client lets you enter a comment when zapping

You should display the top zaps on the notes in the feed too

Great idea πŸ’‘

cool idea to spotlight zaps as an important social signal! can't wait to see how it changes the dynamic. hopefully not just an ad space auction 😝

yes, it's impossible to know how top zaps will actually be used out there in the wild. there is probably a lot we still don't understand about this feature.

but even if some portion of it ends up being an ad space auction, imho that's still very interesting. 100% of the proceeds going directly to the content creator is kinda wild.

top zaps will evolve for sure. we'll just have to observe how they are being used and improve things. the obvious next step is to provide some level of customization to note authors, so they can disable disable this or set threshold amounts. we want to do this in a standard way so all nostr clients can benefit.

in any case: 🍿 🍿 🍿

How do you add a note to zap besides the old customization way through settings?

I would categorize top zap not as top zap amount, but top zap volume.

any possibility to sort replies by total zapped as well?

good point - even deliberate monetization of the creator's reach is pretty powerful and could be the start of a whole new model. very cool, and pretty mindblowing how much space there is for this type of experimentation with Nostr + zaps.

Let it be for ads better to go to the note poster than some centralized company like X, YouTube, Meta

good point!

Value is the algorithm. #zapvertise

Glad to see nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s's idea being put into action.

sweet

Nice reintroduction of Zaps (For Apple Users) but how long until they clap down on Primal just like they did with Damus?

Get an Android use #Amethyst and Primal as a secondary option, don't centralize nostr on a few clients wallets and relays.

Remember way we are here for.

This is a really cool idea.

this value for value is out of this fiat world

so freaking cool!!!

A really interesting idea on how gamify zaps to surface new content and contextually push v4v.

Muting is proprietary or is there a NIP?

Thanks!

Muting is based on the standard NIP-51 mute list. Any client can implement the top zaps feature easily.

Great

Game changer. This reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Million_Dollar_Homepage

But way bigger

Ah yes. Forgot about that one!

I think we will have many million dollar notes on nostr.

Sweet!! πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ is there still a way to see the total zap amount? Not just the number of zaps, but total sats zapped.

We display total sats zapped in the reactions section (next to like, repost, etc. buttons). We could prob make this more prominent.

Can the message be muted without the implication that it is 'abusive'? Can the mute be based on poster's preferences / rule based controls? i.e. timeshare, rotation, 'don't show unless '4/25/24 xyz' are included, etc

Note author has complete control when it comes to muting. They can mute whoever they want to mute without providing a reason.

Note that we are simply using nostr's standard NIP-51 mute list for this.

IncreΓ­ble update πŸ”₯

heck ya

I love the genuinity and creativity of open source projects!

Keep it coming! πŸ‘

Government can distract us with privacy war, but FREEDOM TECH will PERSEVERE! πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ§‘

Keep on building FREEDOM TECH DEVs !🫑 🍻 🌻

#Developers

The *real* comments.

The only problem is that when the message is big i can't read all of it

Try out the web/desktop version

Wow! well done primal #devs this is a fantastic feature. It's great to see improvement like this that affect the experience, in a positive way.

You probably already are working on this but Might I suggest focusing on hashtags page and top notes which you can sort by more time values, like 3 day and week. Just my two #sats

Good luck with development and have fun! ✌️

nostr:note1m78l8yq4svjzerf7ga4muapn6awwp8ld4rc426yvurz5glh84yvqrq6hnp

A feature to make the already large accounts even larger, along with those who invest in them. Development is heading in a completely wrong direction.

lol or not use primal

this isn't twitter

Yeah, "lol", then I won't use it anymore.

Am I not allowed to say my opinion? This is not Twitter. This is nostr. Where everybody has to shill the next big feature, or he gets attacked by some anonymous nobody, right?

not attacking just pointing out you have choice! that's a feature

i lol'd because im happy we are out of twitter lock

please don't leave nostr for feature shill, just ignore it if it's not your cup

also you hurt my feelings 🫣

Oh I'm really sorry for that. Forgive me.

Can you skip sending the message when it is empty?

Love it βš‘πŸ€™

Nice job πŸ’œ

GM legend 🫑

Hi! A feature suggestion: Stop requesting the public key from the extension all the time, just cache it. The Blockcore Wallet reports whenever the key is used and it could probably be optimized by not requesting this much.

Yes I suffer from this as well

Best suggestion! The lot of requests really suck.
