Zapvertising (some thoughts)

337,000 sats generated ($277)

Opinion was split. I’d say about a third of users thought it was fun and interesting, a third found it useful and participated, and a third hated it and probably muted me lol.

The anchor pricing of the menu had the desired effect, with most people opting for the 1k, 5k, and 10k sat options. The higher options were only there to make the main choices feel cheap by comparison.

“Zap menus” as a concept received mixed feedback. Some people appreciated the transparency, while others felt it was a gross commoditization of interaction.

Results for influencer-based algorithmic marketing were solid. Most boosted posts saw higher-than-normal engagement, with the highest-paid promotion leading to a doubling of follower count. I suspect this has less to do with my endorsement and more to do with visibility—people simply wouldn’t have seen those posts without a larger account like mine surfacing them.

Conclusion:

These kinds of behaviors—while still rare on Nostr and somewhat at odds with its organic, grassroots ethos—will likely become more common over time, just as they have on every other platform.

The differentiating factor on Nostr is the lack of trust required to form these kinds of transactional relationships. Because the zap itself guarantees the interaction—there’s no middleman, no escrow, no contracts. Just a simple, verifiable exchange between peers. Which seems to broaden this type of marketing. And that’s interesting and different.

Ouchie!

Someone Just Paid $59,400 in

BTC Fees!

#Bitcoin network, a user accidentally approved a transaction with a fee of 0.75 BTC — that’s around $59,400 at current prices.

To put it in perspective, that’s 96,642x higher than the average fee.

It looks as one of the most expensive "oops" moments in crypto history.

Let me know if you end up signing up with Eggstr. I've been very curious about their operations, and how good their onboarding and configuration is. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on it. Good luck!

Ray Buni 9mo ago

Try it out. Happy to refund if you’re not happy with it

“Why limit myself to just bitcoin? I’ll take any crypto people want to pay with.”

But saying Bitcoin Only isn’t about exclusion.

It’s about speaking directly to the only group that will move the needle for your business: Bitcoiners.

They’re the best customers you’ve never targeted.

As a Bitcoiner, do you agree with this assertion?

Ray Buni 9mo ago

Yes

So my 7pm flight got delayed to 8pm, then to 9pm with a connecting, then to 10:04, then i was gonna miss my connecting and now I’m on a 5am flight to Dallas.

Didn’t realize it was moved to 5am until I got to the airport at 6pm yesterday but went ahead and got my ticket. 6pm the airport was totally dead, only one person in line to get ticket stuff sorted.

I get here at almost 4am and the place is jammed and the line to deal with tickets and get assistance is a million miles long… actually super glad i accidentally came to the airport 10 hours early and then went back home to sleep 😆😅

😂 fun day

Nostr will die the day the last real person signs a zap receipt, and only bots sign notes thereafter.

And it will be reborn when the zaps start flowing through the system again.

Nostr's logo should be a Cyberpunk Electric Phoenix.
