“Pikachu, let’s show ‘em what a zap is!”

When you "like" some post , you are just scratching the back of the artist. It is good but it doesn't put food on the table (:-

when you Zap 'em, you are tapping the back pocket too :-) So please ..

If you are NOT an artist and you are here , then you must be a developer .. In that case a Zap is

Zap ⚡️ are: I like what you’ve posted, I send you sats instead of buy you a coffee ☕️

Zaps are love

Zaps are wealth

Zaps are the best way to get paid in #btc for shitposting on the decentralised (censorship resistant) platform named #nostr

A transfer of Bitcoin value over the lightning network from a sender to a recipient where the receiving custodial provider issues a receipt in accordance with Nostr protocol standards

Direct lightning payments, including to custodial lightning url provider (LNURL) accounts are not zaps unless the request was signed by an initiator referencing a public key or event id for use in requesting an invoice, and receipt published after funds received.

When you go cold-turkey on your SSRI meds you get the zaps

Jolts of energy released via arching of electrons through ionized air molecules 🐶🐾🫡

#Zaps show people their note is of value to you and also for GM/GN ⚡️

Zaps are an amazing way to pay for products, and transfer real value as appreciation for people’s creative content production, opinions, wisdom, and sentiments.

Zaps…

An electron burst of monetary energy sent across time and space to melt your face.

Zaps are the postcards of the digital realm.

You are always happy to receive them!

Interesting answers in there!

What's yours?

Zaps are like magnets.

Zaps are likes with actual value.

Modern day equivalent of all good gestures.

Could be a wink, could be a nod, thumbs up, etc

Zaps are almost instant addictive transfers of value carrying some amount of love and respect while being done easily with a push of a button

For me #zap is #hope 🙏 #swarmstr
