Zap Mentions / some thoughts on broadcasting zaps...
Today on nostr zaps don't provide a great discovery signal because they are fundamentally reactions which you only see if the event being zapped is in already your feed.
If you don't see the content, you won't see the zap reaction, and therefore you won't get the payment signal that indicates the content is valuable.
Zaps also can't trend on nostr because they can't be liked / reposted / zapped / quoted / replied to.
As a user there is no way for me to broadcast a zap in the same way I would broadcast a kind 1 note. I can share my thoughts on something - but there's no way for me to increase the signal of those words by including a zap alongside them. Examples where you might want to do this include:
- donating to a good cause
- sharing a long form article
- supporting a content creator
- thanking a supporter for a zap
---
Potential Solution - Zap Mentions
I think there is a solution to this that doesn't require a new nip or change to the spec. Zap events could just be embedded in kind 1 notes using the standard NIP-27 nevent1 format.
Clients could give users the option to 'broadcast' their zap within a kind 1 note in certain cases and other clients could render some additional UI to display the zap.
Below is an example zap I just sent to nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s - you will probably be reading this just as nevent1... but it would be trivial for clients to parse this and render the zap in whatever way they choose:
nostr:nevent1qvzqqqpxquqzptjz5ej5jncfssa0n2hjvr8e4jz5tlpequraz2442jekee5243qnr65tnu
Ultimately we don't want users of nostr clients to be forced into a choice between sharing content or zapping it - we want them to be able to do both in one frictionless action and this will generate the most signal and make nostr the most attractive place for content creators.
I would love to hear thoughts on this from client developers / designers - nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft nostr:npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc
And if someone wants to try rendering this note in the way I've described please tag me!
I love this approach! Give users the option to tell clients to treat zaps just like normal notes, but with an amount attached to it. Some zaps have more interesting content than the notes they reference.

#Amethyst v0.87.0: Data Vending Machines (DVMs) and Gossip Model
This version adds support for Data Vending Machines for content discovery. You can request a job by simply navigating to the 4th tab and choosing one of the DVMs. It also starts our support for the Inbox/Gossip model. The relay setup screen has been rewritten to support the many types of relays Amethyst will start to use. Please add your relays as you see fit.
Our video caching system has been improved. Most of the high-bandwidth use of the app in the last month has been due to a faulty caching system for some video types. The app was just downloading them at every playback. In a similar way, the caching system for encrypted events has been massively improved. The app should feel visibly lighter at this point.
If you generated your keys from NIP-06 seed words you can now type them on the login screen to start the app. We are not generating seeds yet, but this will be available in the upcoming versions.
We are also moving to deprecate and remove most of the NIP-04 usage in the app. In the future, users won't be able to send new NIP-04 DMs but the history of past DMs will be available for as long as we can support it.
