art & UX Ui design,

#[0]​ if this was twitter and i started to write with your name or at person first, others might not see it, yet if put in middle or tweet, is different. what does Nostr do?

that is sort of what he was curious, no rumor or anything of Ai.

hey, since you are Dev, here something curious about & also mentioned by Gruber. he said of all the major code enviroments, they all have Ai to help, except Apple. & was also curious about that

yes, I'm trying to figure out Zaps.

user: new here, own no bitcoin, only crypto i figured out & explored was Nano (& BANANO), I'm also a UX designer, so VERY good at self observe, and put self into mind of other users.

so happy to collaborate, on where i am now at learn Nostr, which is Zap

Gruber of Daring Fireball

recently mentioned, only huge tech company, not mention Ai is Apple. WWDC is in June, their version of event Google just did. He is curious if Apple show some huge Ai plan, or if really asleep on this, as all hints show will have some AR/VR, but that might be no longer important, as sort of fizzle out with META.

that is fun. nice to see something that is not the millionth cyber-robot-hot-girl-in-space

if you don't mind me asking, what tool you building with? i've so far been use/learn

Leonardo Ai

what is the minimal amount? one SAT? or can it get fractional? .5 SAT? anyway, as someone who owns 0 bitcoin, just to receive and or send anything, will be enough to get newbies (me) to better understand. so if that reduces costs by 100x or more, i believe is ok.

also, the only crypto i did start use, understand and explore, were Nano & BANANO.

& no, i was not after memecoin. wanted to sell art, for low amount, ~$10, as did at street festivals.

so first looked at bitcoin, because only one heard of. quickly found speed and cost and complexity of transaction made it wrong choice for $10 art.

& found, WTF, 100s of other coins. somehow eventually found only 2 that could send/receive.

anyway, back to Nostr, which just joined, and feel the potential. my next step is figure out how setup my ZAPs. because i can see where it solves the $10, $100, any issues that started my learning.

so that is my newbie observation, hope useful.

I’m not sure if we’ve considered all of the implications of mixing money with social, but it’s a fun experiment regardless.

The people that say zaps are the new likes… I like your adventurous spirit, but feel maybe there’s more to money and social than meets the eye.

When you introduce money into an app which doesn’t have a primary goal of sending money, it can get weird in terms of social dynamics and perception.

For example, content may become tailored towards getting zaps, drowning out other types of interactions and possibly eroding trust and cooperation between people.

There’s also the weird dynamic of comparison. Even if you don’t try to, your mind may drift into “oh, they are making more than me on their notes”. I know likes elicit a similar feeling of envy (even if you are not actively envious), but I am curious how money changes things. I don’t have all the answer and suspect there are deep psychological implications.

There may be misalignment of goals as well. This is already evident now where we have some people who are solely focused on stacking. We have automated accounts who post AI generated work that wasn’t created by them — presumably for the sake of stacking sats (otherwise why not credit?) And this is just the start. I don’t know how many of you are familiar with Steemit, but it’s basically a shitcoin website that monetizes content. If you go to the site now, it’s a steaming pile of shit. I doubt anyone actually reads anything. Maybe a few.. but you don’t see this website in the headlines or popping up on any meaningful channels online. As far as the world is concerned it’s invisible. Not saying zap-powered content will end up in the same boat, but there are probably lessons to be learned there and things we can observe.

Social serves a larger goal than just weeding out signal in noise. Not everything needs to provide value all the time. People come to be heard, to feel part of a group, to laugh, to hate… and none of those things involve money. I’m not saying they couldn’t, but we don’t know the full consequence of introducing money into these types of interactions.

I’m not advocating for something being right or wrong or how to do this or that, but more generally curious about the intersection of social and money. I’m here for the ride to see how things play out and how the world reacts to it. 

If you have any knowledge on this subject (psychology of money in social interactions), I’d love to hear your thoughts and perspective.

i just joined last week. slowly learning the features & functions.

found the financial side. & oh crap, seems going be haves & haves nots of figure out the coins, bitcoin stuff to set up that i'm vague on. so yeah, maybe barrier to entry also an issue

that visual taste awesome ( my second comment as new Nostr user & I'll try a follow, as yeah, another designer! )

, joined Nostr, ~yesterday, your web app was my first experience. easy, smooth. interestingly, last year was pitching UX ideas to Skiff, as going after a job with then, suggested they do a social network, and & name it Coracle, ( Skiff, Coracle ) so excited you arrived at same name, and put to actual use.

i'm a UX designer, so give me a few weeks play with Nostr & Coracle, & if anything useful to say, I wll
