Does primal open source their Trending feed algo ?

Hmmmm don’t think I can receive zaps… Any ideas how to troubleshoot this? Using primal wallet

I spent another 100,000 sats on a zap-vertising experiment… And I think I proved that advertising on Nostr actually works… Here’s: 1️⃣ What I did 2️⃣ The results 3️⃣ What I learned 1️⃣ What I did: I sent 4105 zaps over the course of 3 days for a total of 112,000 sats. Each zap contained a link for a blog post: zapvertising-experiment.carrd.co My goal was to see if I could get a reasonable cost per click (CPC)… 2️⃣ The results: During the campaign I had a total of 71 unique visitors to the page. CPC was 1578 sats or $1.50 usd. I also gained 245 followers from that campaign. These CPCs are in line with other ad platforms which validates the overall concept for me. 3️⃣ What I learned / brain dump: - Results were better than expected. - I thought there might have been a bit of negative push back (however none received). - There is a chance I am significantly underreporting and google analytics isn't picking everything up (surprised to see 3-4x the number of new followers vs. clicks 🤔) - THERE IS SOMETHING HERE. I still don’t know exactly what the model looks like, how it scales, but there is something to be uncovered. - Right now, this can’t be done at scale… in the future it could. I spent ~$100 and it took me multiple days. In the future there will be ways to allocate +$10,000 per day here. For context of where we are at right now, Nostr daily zap totals are around 750,000 sats - about $675 - see stats.nostr.band/ for that data) - Something feels off with the format… simply paying someone and sending them a link… The p2p model feels right, but the format feels off.

As a creator, I thought I always needed to have the right answers to be successful… To be the person posting from an expert frame… But I’m finding that it’s just as powerful to be the creator that asks the right questions.

How do we feed about algorithmic feeds… Except fully transparent and controlled by the user…?

Is it just me… Or is nostr everything that all web3 crypto coins promised they would be?

I think this is inevitable… But it seems like many here are against it. View quoted note →

Imagine 🤔💭 The year is 2030. There are millions of Nostr users. The ecosystem is thriving. BTC is at $5M. There are thousands of “full time Nostr creators” earning +10,000,000 sats a month. What are these creators doing? What are they selling? What’s the business model? This is what keeps me up at night. 🤔👇🏽

First time founders are obsessed with product. Second time founders are obsessed with distribution. One of the keys to building BMC in fiat world has been an extreme focus on distribution. Email list, affiliates, YouTube channel… What does “building distribution” on nostr look like? Is it simply gaining followers? Do you think theres more to gaining distribution on nostr? Curious 🤔

Thoughts on why I might not see certain responses on @primal but I do on @Damus ? Just started exploring multiple clients to see the different UX. Example: I only see this reply on Damus but not primal

If you’re new to nostr, I highly recommend watching the entire nostriga 2024 event. Just did this today - extremely insightful

Do paid feeds exist yet? I’m on the primal feed tab but only see a handful of free options. Can anyone recommend a paid feed? Would love to test those out and also go through the subscription process as a user. Are the notes in a paid feed all publicly available and the value is in the curation of notes? Or is the idea that this feed is similar to paywall gated content? 🤔🤔

What is the nostr equivalent of creators collecting phone numbers and emails…? Let me explain: On apps like Instagram/TikTok/YouTube, many creators will attempt to take their audience off platform and eventually capture some info like name, email, phone number. This allows creators to: 1. Own their audience (reducing platform risk) 2. Have closer communication channels with their audience With nostr, it’s apparent to me that Number 1 is solved for… But what about number 2. What exists for this today? Some form of community, more direct communication, super-follow, etc. Does something like this exist? Is there even a need for this here? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
