Okay, it’s my first #zapathon what’s the deal?
Discussion
You zap good memes 😁
You zap every post in sight (or pick out the ones your like). You can target posts in a specific hashtag as well or pick a cause. Today many of us are zapping #[2] a reporter for #[3] to crowdfund her trip to cover the Bitcoin Prague conference in a couple of weeks
You shitpost and get zapped. Simple!

#zapathon is an event where everyone zaps (sends bitcoin over lightning network) every note they see.
This stress tests the various systems
It also shows the viability of bitcoin over the layer 2 lightning network is a very viable option for daily payments. Instant Bitcoin payment settlement.
And it's just some damn good community building fun :)
See zaplife.lol for a live view of zaps as they happen.
It's also a flex... who's the fastest zapper in the west? It's all about the ZPM (zaps per minute).
So… how’d it go ?
People just send bitcoin to eachother for fun. Post a good meme and get some real life value for it.
Those are #zaps. A #zapathon we actively try to overpower any infrastructure. The 13th we took down #[6] last week #[7] this week was #[8] node.
We want to build the network and ready it for being an instant settlement ₿uilt upon ₿itcoin.
My personal goal is to hit +500 transactions in the half hour, still averaging in the low 200s for now.
