never say never, we have jpegs on bitcoin now, but I would be surprised if ad dollars can be injected into the timeline without users finding an organic way around them
it might just be that it ends up playing as #[3] suggested: companies zapping popular notes to brand themselves which effectively creates an organic bidding war
I'm off to give a talk about bitcoin to #worldschooling kids in Vietnam 🇻🇳
I'll probably just talk about Nostr the whole time 😅
wish me luck!
not sure how it's implemented in Snort, I'd guess it sends in a random pubkey not tied to anyone
100%
and the type of businesses that are possible when you can have data moving throughout apps transparently, so you can have a craigslist-style app interacting with an airbnb-style app and a twitter-like app wherever it makes sense
I definitely agree this is a new paradigm
smaller, non-rent-seeking companies
VCs/investors will have to adjust to this new reality
it's up to the sender, it's ok to have options
the receiver must explicitly support zaps
the note
🤝
the fact that users cannot be extorted means that nostr companies MUST compete on adding value, instead of rent-seeking from the captured network effects
not the second one I sent you
I sent 200 sats, the note shows 100.
I doubt we'll see nostr companies having hockey-stick valuation growth curves.
The main reason FAANGs experienced such valuation growth was due to the ability to siphon off most value accrued from network effects.
Network effects in nostr accrue directly to users. Data ownership implies users cannot be extorted.
no votes required, I just zapped you 100 sats anon and doing another 100 sats without zap so no nostr event shows up
you can, just a matter of your client doing it that way
I totally forgot I had built that error message 😂
you just need a mechanism to exchange payment information, and we already have that with with LNURL and Bolt12.
This doesn't need anything new, it's just a matter of how people choose to use these tools. If you don't want to use zaps (LNURL with nostr notes) just use LNURL/Bolt12.
