Lol, yea.
I mean, for Damus/Primal, I would go with the couple of the composite metrics as a bundle to keep track of for the longer progress. I don't think you can come up with a single north star bullet metric. But there is somewhat clear hierarchy in the quality of the metrics, and their proximity to LTV.
Ex.
- Unique users with a click (comment, zap) are better than total clicks (comments, zaps)
- zap is better than like
For individual iterations, I'd still lean more into UX feedback and product intuition.
The composite metric might be
Distinct(npub HAVING (note + comment + like + zap)>0
You can do >1; >10; >100, and over different time frames, to measure higher, and more repetitive and lasting levels of engagement.
...
At different stages of the product, you want to use diffently advancing metrics. The simple ones are good for the start, but can be skewing you towards the cheap engagement baits. At more advanced stages, you want to counterbalance them with even more quality, and that gets progressively harder to define and measure.
Every single product should try to optimize for the users' LTV (life time value).
Easy to say, hard to measure. But the closer you get with the measurement, the less noise there is, and the harder it is to game the metric.
- clicks: lot of noise, loose correlation with LTV
- zaps: less noise, higher correlation with LTV
So the question always is - how to define the LTV for the user of the product in a measurable way. Simple concept, hard execution.
I would probably go with some composite metric for engagement. Daily, weekly, and monthly unique engaged users.
Extra tricky thing here is that each user has different things in their LTV, and mostly they are unable to express it even if you ask them.
Yes, those are cool, apparently trendy now, but relatively expensive if you do bigger sections since it requires nicer straight wood (~$200 for 30 slats here). Most of the rest is basic lumber, and I reused most I had lying around.
Pegboards are pretty simple. You need the little space between the pegboard and the wall to be able to attach the hooks, so just two parallel horizontal slats to the wall, and attach the pegboard to those. I added the little trim around to give it a nice frame.
True, 40B is peanuts for the US Gov
Fair point. But what do you recommend to the noobs to make them experience the zaps?
Look, the money printer never sleeps either, and it doesn't complain to everyone on nostr. So don't even dare to think about missing a shift.
🎯web2 clients got captured by maximizing engagement metrics at all costs, and became ideal products for the sensational Breaking bots and for Elons. And less ideal for others.
It could be fun, and informative, and definitely pairs up well with the attention milking ad model. But it's just a sliver of utility and value which people seek on the internet.
Be conscious about this tradeoff, and optimize (at least some) clients for the real people, not for the Breaking bots.
And this concept provably worked.
Benda pretty much just described the dissent to the ruling communist party happening across all spheres of life (not just the purely political ones), and he gave some theoretical concept to it.
The parallels with the Bitcoin and v4v communities are strong. You don't need loud revolts and conflicts, it's more sustainable to build and relay your activities all throughout and around the official/mainstream pathways, up to the point that they can't single you out with any force without destroying themselves.
Definitely a concept worth studying more.

I liked the tough question segment; always good to practice skepticism; keep it in.
He's on the Orban side. So yea, the simpletons would say he's been pro-Putin.
I agree, it's not easy.
I'm just saying there's a lot of very costly and unproductive ways to revolt, and the government would be more than happy if you choose those.
Juetified - Whenever they don't allow you to opt out. So, long time ago.
The question is whether it's the most efficient way to achieve the goals.
Declaring indeoendence, peacufully opting out and building parallel structures and processes which shield you from interacting with the goverments is pretty effective way to revolt.
Jan 6 style revolt is just a massive trap.
nostr:npub1t0nyg64g5vwprva52wlcmt7fkdr07v5dr7s35raq9g0xgc0k4xcsedjgqv well it took about a week of waiting for my account get access to Lightning, but I was able to withdrawal my sats from Coinbase, completing my test. It was fairly easy as any other experience. 
Why the wait? Just the unspecified "compliance holdout period", or did they provide any explanation of their own?
Progressing renovating the workspace.
- new slat wall on, bike mounts, pegboard properly installed
Waiting for the lumber rack. Then got to figure out lightning, the desk drawers, maybe some cabinets.
Ain't much, but it's an honest work 🫡
