not really

considering zapvertisements are not very effective in practice and the lack of any targeting, and minimum zap amounts, it becomes very ineffective

though actually one great part about this protocol is anyone can do precise targeting themselves

What is Zapvertising? #HOWDONOSTR

Zapvertising is a new form of advertising on the Nostr protocol. It allows businesses to pay users by directly promoting their products or services in their user's notes. When a user or business Zaps a note, they send a small amount of bitcoin to the note's creator. Since these are just payments sent over the Lightning network, the sender can attach any piece of content to the note field. This can be a link to a product image, a video, a podcast, video, etc. The creator receives a notification that they have been Zapped along with an attached note. The user's Nostr app then displays the image, link, etc. for the user to engage with, open, and view.

Zapvertising is a more direct and personal form of advertising than traditional advertising. It allows businesses to connect with potential customers on a more individual level. It is also more transparent, as users can see exactly how much money is being paid for each zap.

The benefits of Zapvertising on Nostr are as follows:

It is a more direct and personal form of advertising.

It is more transparent than traditional advertising.

It is more cost-effective than traditional advertising.

It is more effective at reaching a targeted audience.

It can help businesses build relationships with potential customers.

Zaps are sent via the Lightning Network, a decentralized payment network that is built on top of Bitcoin. This makes Zapvertising fast, cheap, and secure. All you need is a Bitcoin Lightning wallet to get started.

How much is a user's attention worth to you? The larger the Zap sent, the more likely the potential customer is to notice and see your Zapvertisement.

If you are looking for a new way to advertise your business, #Zapvertising on Nostr is a great option. It is a more effective and affordable way to reach your target audience, and it can help you build relationships with potential customers.

“it is more cost effective”

😂

anyone attending TRUSTECH 2024?

The problem is costs add up very fast: a 100MB file viewed by 1k people becomes 100GB egress, which is $0.1 at best from certain providers. Then there’s CDNs for optimization, and also moderation work to filter out CP and other unwanted content (legal liability). Also, backups.

Decentralized does not mean free. Never has

never on my daily driver as I need something that just works

We can, just stop calling it even remotely private.

Honestly, the protocol has been going downhill for a while as people try to be as lazy as possible.

Relays instead of encryption. “Relays” that are shitty versions of normal APIs instead of DVMs. Relays instead of a proper community NIP.

I will look into implementing this soon, most of the code should be ready. I’m eventually going to refactor it with a new DB anyway
