More down to Earth.
If you will
Also if bob is constantly zapping Alice. On every content for absurd amounts we can probably derive bob and Alice are one in the same
Sperate easy
Yeah but will you know it's been 'gamed'.
As someone else said yeah you can look at the profile that is zapping to check legitimacy of acct and whatnot. But if there is a point where a feed is 'ranked' by zaps. It could put a lot of spam in there by boosting their own junk.
Just being devils advocate here. Love the idea and how zaps work. But no one is doing the good ole SWOT
'I've got to be unstoppable'
-bitcoin hashrate
Zaps shouldn't be used for ranking until they can fix some of the easily exploitable things.
If we are using zaps to measure quality and value of a post to show users. I can easily spin up an alt and tip my own note at very low cost to myself. A few sats in routing fees..
It's not special to nostr or zaps. Any system that has the ease of entry and acct creation like nostr has/will face similar issues.
I have faith these brainiacs figure something out.
Just my 2 sats.
Zaps are cool, but they can, in their current state, be gamed.
Go Pens!
They looking kinda meh this year.
So said the LN_Granny
This is very true.
Don't be so tough on the little guy
Very true
All I was trying to say is they aren't infallible
🤣🤣
Im good.
Just trying to stir conversation regarding it.
Yeah you'd tip from an alt.
And yeah you could check the 'realness' (for lack of a better term) of a profile I suppose.
But most people would just see the zapped amount and judge it off that.
We gonna have zap police? Lmao.

is the dev follow him for updates
Dev pushed the zap feature with a default fixed 1k sats. It was the first release with zaps, I'm sure next will allow editing of amount.
What's my cost if I'm tipping myself?
If it becomes that much of a signal indicator, the miniscule cost of a few sats in routing is a small cost to pay to boost a note.
Am I missing something?
Yes someone found a note ID for me. Instantly able to reward the user with some sats
