Self custodyyyyy 🤙 agreed. That’s why I’m here for the most part. And the lulz. nostr:note19mpan3v6mzwqgr5w05wz0y6ee3m9n3jfdwjf0zlyfa9f6yd7q8aq45kznr
I second this. 🤙

Right I feel that and I don’t necessarily know the answer. But it’s why I was asking not too long ago about being able to “pin” or “highlight” notes at the top of our profiles for visibility. I like the feature on primal to look at “most zapped” or other most popular but would be cool to make “lists” like I used to on Twitter to filter my feed to see certain people to catch up with. Idk. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A convo about zaps and the future of nostr. #grownostr

there are many reasons. curious about new technology, cancelled or shadow banned on another platform, they have friends that are here, etc. ask people like nostr:npub1yye4qu6qrgcsejghnl36wl5kvecsel0kxr0ass8ewtqc8gjykxkssdhmd0 or nostr:npub1r8wdfruydenz84fxfespcswuhcvyatx6umtd5xguexup49u500xskf50hn why they came. i'd guess people like nostr:npub13qrrw2h4z52m7jh0spefrwtysl4psfkfv6j4j672se5hkhvtyw7qu0almy possibly came for the zaps though. zaps may not be the initial reason for everyone, but apps like primal make it easy for the noobs to start playing with it. cash app is probably adding lightning addresses soon which should also help noobs get started with zaps.
Since I was invoked I’ll toss in my 2 sats 😉 y’all are both right. Most people will not gain enough zaps to make an income equivalent yet (like you can on TikTok) so trying to sell people on Nostr based on zaps alone is futile. HOWEVER people are really interested in being able to easily exchange value for value on social media, and it’s attractive to people that Nostr has zero barriers to entry to get monetized (unlike on TikTok where you have to have a thousand followers to start a shop and 10k followers to get paid per thousand views).
So yes, zaps are nifty and fun and certainly part of the overall Nostr value-add, and no, they aren’t the main reason people stay here. People stay here for the freedom and the community.
The two things in my mind that we need to work on to continue to attract users is: searchability and shareability. When content is easy to find and easy to share, it can go mega viral. Wherever there is viral potential, people will go there. That’s how TikTok became a billion user platform.
I’ve also thought about teaching a propagation class with these bad boys and letting people BYOP (bring your own planter) and take home some cuttings. 🤔 is that too nerdy?
You know how farms have “pick your own” days for fruits and whatnot? Can I also do that for flowers and crowd-source my hydrangea pruning? 😅 they will bloom again if I go trim all the current blooms, but holy moly there are just so many. There are probably 500 flower heads out there. This picture shows 5-6 plants, and I think I have 35 total. You can call me the crazy flower lady if you want. It’s fair. 🤣 #flowerstr

Muhuhahahaha 😈💪 #fitbodapp 
🤣 throwback to that one time I asked photoshop generative fill to remove the couple on the left in this photo, and it imagined a whole other person (blue dress lady) - who eerily resembles my old babysitter who passed away during the plague. 😳👻 #photoshop #ai

Ah man. We just want to have nice things.
GM 🌞 the algorithm on #tiktok doesn’t like this video apparently. But I like it. I think it’s calming to be surrounded by cloud flowers. Enjoy. 😎 #hydrangeas #flowerstr
GM 🌞 So I got one of those whole-body vibration plate things you stand on to improve my circulation and lymphatic system because I sit a lot for work… but also I got it for the jokes! 🤣 #wbv 
Primal team made it to nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r!
Stop by the Nostr booth to get a verified Primal name & a VIP Profile 🫡


Nice! Enjoy!!
Oooh that’s an interesting idea thank you

This would be a great application of njump - profile view only of recent notes
Gonna check out njump. There are two suggestions for it so far. 😎 thanks!
#asknostr: is there a widget I could add to my blog homepage that would display my most recent notes?
