I wonder how many people are typing "so what's going on with sam altman?" into gpt4...
holy shit sam altman fired
Earlier this week I was brainstorming something like this.
There is a parallel between zapvertisements and livestream donations.
Donations with messages attached are a great way for fans to interact with creators. There is no formal contract, but fans know on good faith that the streamer will read and react to their message, especially if it has significant $ amount attached.
Now imagine a nostr client that enables creators to set a rate floor as you mention, and fans/advertisers pay that rate (or higher) to send "boosted" dms.
Or even expanding upon that, fans could make offers to pay for follows, reposts, etc...
#Zapvertising is great, until it becomes spammy. I believe that users should have a choice in deciding how much their attention is worth. Is it 100 sats? 1000 sats? 1 sat? That's up to the individual. Thanks for pointing this out, nostr:npub1ew4nntskh08fzkwjusrc9u5627g639c5z6udc4q3a3plr9ns4naqxp6qlf 🤙🏻

Had the idea the other day for a NIP and/or app enabling users to set rates for nostr actions, extending zapvertising beyond just a message in a lightning payment.
E.g. 1000 sats for a repost, 10k for a follow etc. Allow sellers to selectively accept offers from buyers.
Naturally, popular accounts could set higher rates. A win-win, as sellers earn sats for interacting, and buyers can pay to increase exposure.
Not really sure on the technical implementation - probably would need some way to hold sats in escrow between offer and acceptance

Is any nostrich more prolific than nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a? The rate at which she cranks out high quality long-form notes blows my mind
🚨 Today I'm launching Ontolo. 🚀
Ontolo is a super simple micro-app that will hopefully entice everyone spend a bit of time labeling other Nostr events. NIP-32, if you're not familiar, allows anyone to label/review/comment on any nostr post. It's an insanely powerful concept (thanks nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn, who wrote the NIP), but it's still pretty underused in clients.
Why would you want to have labeled events?
1. Discovery: Labeled events can be used directly by social clients–like nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 or nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg when trying to suggest content that users might like.
2. Training data: We're at the gates of the era of AI. Classification algorithms and machine learning have been pretty good to classifying content but with a training dataset they can become WAAAAAY better. Hopefully, labels in Nostr will become a public good that all clients can lean on to create their own AI models for discovery, onboarding, and a hundred other things I've not thought of.
This is an experiment, like all of them, so please hit me with your feedback. Expect more fun social features soon. 🫂 LFG!
Thanks to everyone who helped me think through this over the last few days, from Tokyo until now.

Nice! +1 on adding "politics", "news", and "animals/pets" labels

someone close to me was highly involved in a local election this cycle.
the experience has really blackpilled them: "american politics are a complete charade!"
little do they know, they're standing on the edge of the rabbit hole...

As advertising is replaced by Value4Vualue, fiat Ad revenue will plummet; big changes will happen quick.
The end of the fiat system will look apocalyptic from the inside.
pivot or die.
youtube, twitter not loading - nostr still up :)
huge problem with current internet is usability gap between self hosting and centralized stores (people use google services, gfycat, etc because it is easy). Lets build a software stack to store and serve your own data with good UX and resilience. Nostr is a good start
