I get serious shitcoin vibes from NIP-58. Am I alone?

Only if people use them as NFT’s

So I’ve seen people ask for them for Nostr Report for things like “Meme of the Day”. What are the downsides to doing this?

Nothing. Early adoption fun. Worth what we pay. Just evolving space🤙

Maybe the focus changing from posting interesting facts/news by users to posting memes, just to for the chance of receiving the badge as an award. Other than that, seems like great memorabilia💜

Yea, I was thinking for people contributing to the report (submitting stories, meme of the day, quote of the day) etc. I just don’t want it to turn into a stupid shitcoin.

Oh yea a badge for contributions to the report 💯 I think that would a good selling point for it

If you created one for each category, then I’d be definitely for it. Would be one of the more “valuable” badges for sure 💜

The only downside I can think of, is that lets say you give somebody a badge and they start rocking it on their profile. Then let’s say couple of months later, they end up spewing really extreme “content” which you don’t agree with at all, but your badge may falsely represent that you support it.

Long rant, hope you get the point 💜

They want a badge everyday for a meme 😅 I mean if that’s what they want as long as it’s given freely and people don’t have to trade their time/sats for it

I don’t even know how to do it, so I moved on.

Look at you trying to earn the “badges are shitcoins” badge! 😉

(But srsly tho, yes.)

😆 glad we’re on the same page. I don’t mind if it’s all for fun, but someone is going to ruin it and try to turn them into a vector for scamming people.

Not gonna change your mind doc. 😂

Wish they were based on like amount zapped etc.

Achievements basically 🤷‍♂️

No. That would cause some seriously degenerate Highlander like ⚡️ warfare.

To be honest, yeah 😅💜

🤣🤣 Imagine the zaplife stats 🫠

😂 badges are more like badges you would get on a forum site. You get badges on StackExchange or bitcointalk.org, and they’re just for fun.

you’re probably not alone but i don’t see how you’re making that leap.

if anything, badges can serve uses that shitcoiners attribute to shitcoins, e.g., displaying membership in a club/community to access gated content.

I’m mostly worried that they will become a vector for scammers.

Don’t know enough about them, and want to try to understand all of the downstream consequences before implementing on #[3]
