Did you remove your profile picture? I see an lnurl:

I have not checked your raw profile events.
Can you elaborate on the use case for this? Is it an arrangement for a public faucet? Make the POW high enough and people would rather mine other stuff but it's a way to get some 3sat to spend?
nutminer is about cashu minting? I'm a bit confused. Is this POW? Why? What? Any link?
I'm a big advocate of self custody but at the same time see the problem with on-chain fees to even get on board.
I care about systemic risk and see one in big custodians. If Binance turns into MtGox 2.0, we all will have to suffer from the fallout.
I love cashu for "Uncle Jim" nodes but worry those nodes could grow too big, too.
Is there any inherent incentive to spread out into many mints?
Are you focusing tools on this use case - small, easy to use mints? I want to join a mint run by for example 5 people I know and trust, with all transactions and minting requiring 3of5 multi sig. And I want to run a mint for my family. Kids allowance etc.

While stocks are not fractional reserve (some are), the stock market will inevitably deflate once the economy goes down the drain.

Nostrgram was too smart here. I did not mean to have that last Adam_Back to be substituted by a mention.
Who has the priv keys for those "Generated by nitter.net" accounts like #[0]? Could we please more clearly mark these accounts once these users actually join nostr #[1]? #[2]'s "recommended follows" for example invites me to follow that nitter account based on 30 of my follows following it and I stumble over it every time I use that feature.
I think the bot was retired but maybe the priv keys are still around to mark accounts maybe as "ghost of #[1]" or so.
On the sponsor side, inflating numbers might not be as much of a problem. If somebody vainly zaps his sock account that he put into a team list to pump his numbers for free, people will notice that he's sponsoring an unknown developer with no apparent contributions and shame them and I don't think that being a big sponsor will drive much zapping towards the sponsors, so the economic incentives are minimal here.
While giving badges for the sponsors, the makers absolutely also should get badges by the same script that already collected the npubs of all of them.
Should the zapped amount go into this badge, too? Recipients of more zaps clearly are more relevant makers than those with little or not zapping, right? Or does that only promote zapping of those that already get zaps, which would add an incentive to zap themselves or in circles?
Also there is client devs that make users of their clients their followers by default which certainly skews the zapping away from merit more towards smart marketing.
Some thoughts on how I would design this:
* Have a commit hook on all nostr projects (yes, I would only support open source this way)
* Monitor a special file for pubkeys. `/teamNostrKeys.yaml`
* Track zaps towards such pubkeys
* Award 5 tiers of badges - Shrimp to Whale or Hummingbird to Ostrich sponsor of the nostr ecosystem
* Have badges expire after one month until we figure out how to revoke them
* Award new badge according to last month's zaps
**Idea for a meaningful badge that could help fund nostr makers**
Award those who support nostr developers via zaps, amounting to more than a certain value per month a badge.
Some automation and curation would be needed for this one, so the creator of this might himself be eligible as recipient of badge-worthy zaps.
So what do you need?

I guess some people would consider it unethical, especially if it was a considerable amount of zap spam but with some few well placed zaps - 30 million Bitcoin for fiatjaf etc. you could make a point, get heard and not disrupt the network.
I guess I have an unpopular take for you, too:
* We have a Cambrian explosion of clients right now
* Switching clients essentially friction-less
* Users are aware of which client is open source and which not and prefer the former
* Most clients are one-man shows but some are incredibly productive, churning out features like there was no tomorrow
* We promote and celebrate the openness (open source, standards that allow to switch client), so any premium features exclusive to your client will not be appreciated for long.
If you have anti-features and your product is open source, people will use the fork that doesn't have those.
The marginal cost of users is zero for the client, so charging for use is hard.
For relays though the marginal cost of users is not zero and whenever something is not free, it's easier to have a profit margin.
* You could have your client set a default relay and charge for its use past some basic onboarding use.
* Relay operators will pay for referrals. As operator of a popular instance, that could turn into a stream of income without having to maintain your own relay.
Maybe somebody should spam fake zaps so those missing checks become unacceptable.
but ... not even on the same client can I find my replies. I suspect they never got sent.
I received 21sat twice but no nostr zap event and trying with different clients I saw that some even don't show the :zap: symbol.
Thanks for your tips but snort shows zero zaps.
