Unsure, it's always right at the start of deer season ๐
Pretty sure I'm going to make SRF, and that's damn close to crunch time
๐ This is great
๐ Well when it does work, you rarely get the results you expected. But sometimes you get the results you need. It could be the Albert Einstein of power tools!
Well, I am sure the only limiting factors are purely geographical ๐
I was unaware Damus was pinning zapvertising persistently on feeds.
Yeah that needs to die. And as someone who has used it (I'd like to think we'll and respectfully) I don't do so with the intention of clogging up the feed. To me it's an add on to a v4v transaction that both the zapper and the viewer should gain some value from. How clients implement these features will definitely have an impact on how zapvertizers behave. I see it quickly bifercating into mass small-sat zap spammers, and small businesses zapping targeted audiences amounts that compensate users appropriately.
I remain very bullish on the concept, but only time will tell!
Talked to many bitcoin projects thinking about integrating nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828 ๐ค
Would potentially be the answer to private DMs and groups. Similar concepts, just over relays. Even the messages are in json. It has potential.
One day I'll learn to proofread on Nostr ๐
You know what stops it from become centralized? Us.
Give it a shot! I had a very positive response from zapvertising, and if I lost any followers from doing so, that's okay too. I'm not for everyone. I think making the amount you zap something worthwhile for the viewer is a great approach, and I also think targeting individuals likely to be interested or able to purchase your products is smart. It's the tiny zap amount spam on every note that will get you hated.
The idea behind advertising shouldn't be shoving adds in people's face against their will. Zapvertising is powerful because it allows a v4v exchange, but far more relevant because you can target people who are receptive to ads!
Who do I want to zapvertise to? People who WANT to see my ads. People who want to buy my products and services or consume my content. Individuals enthusiastic about participating in a Nostr economy. I don't want to waste my sats marketing to people who are resistant.
So yeah, spam zaps will be an issue, but that's one we can solve. And if folks want to turn off viewing zapvertising I 100% support that. If I client disables it by default, I will personally not use that client. Both because they remove the user's choice (centralizing) and because I want to see zapvertisments.
We're so early.
Beat me to it!
Unfortunately that's not going to happen for me. But hopefully more pop up. November is a blacked out on my calendar.
Does not fit the category of somewhere not Bitcoin centric, but they are doing a big one in Nashville in November.

But I agree. And Texas has a pretty good native Nostr population, so organizing should be no problem.
Yes and no. Stuff to catch up on, but a bit more low key of a day.
