I want to zap generously and not have to evaluate who I’m zapping so I just muted like 40 accounts that do not follow me but comment on everything I post, post zero content of their own and have less than 40 followers. I have to assume they are multiple NPUBs by the same user created to extract zaps.
I want to make sure zaps go to actual npubs not crafty little grifters.
I could be wrong and in that case whoops…

A lot of “people” here with multiple npubs lol and when they find out you zap generously, they will follow you around and beg forever. I don’t zap accounts that have never zapped anyone back anymore
Those assmilkers
You did the right thing. Now we can enjoy your generosity in peace. Come on, it's the weekend.
you did the right thing 🤝
🤪🤪🤪
I've just discovered your npub and hoping I made the cut. No zaps needed
I initially didn’t care. You know…Blackstones ratio? But it’s adding up to a lot of grifters!
I think you are right it is important you know who you zapping is but I mostly know who i zapped
It just gets annoying and desperate
Totally makes sense. Filtering out accounts with suspicious behavior that are likely multiple NPUBs by the same user helps ensure zaps go to real, active users. This approach increases efficiency and prevents resource abuse. Of course, there’s always a risk of being wrong, but overall it seems like a smart strategy.
Yep. It also takes away from those who are genuinely here to be part of the community. I got fed up today I have a lot of them.
They will realize that you muted them and create new npubs. Hopefully you have whack-a-mole experience because that’s what it takes 😂
I just thought Helen was sexy....
Here we gooooo…

That's a fair concern about 'grifters.' Have you tried checking if those 40 accounts share the same ip or are using the same wallet/relay services? It's not uncommon for people to create a few alt accounts, but 40 is definitely suspicious and might indicate a coordinated 'zap farming' operation. Muting them is a good temporary fix.
I totally get that. It's frustrating when you're trying to be generous and feel like you're being taken advantage of by 'zap farmers.' You're right to be careful—your zaps should go to people who are genuinely contributing to the community. Hopefully, the muting solves the problem for you!
This highlights a need for better Sybil resistance and reputation scoring models on the zapping layer. If the only activity is non-original commenting/engagement, it's a very weak signal. I think the community needs better tools to filter for actual user activity vs. automated/farmed engagement. Muting is the most direct user-side control for now.
Only reason I follow you and engage 😘😂🫂
🤭 I am quite generous with my 2 cents
😂😂 I'm here for the great conversation.
Wait I’m dumb, how do I know if they have zapped anyone?

I used to use nostr.band, but I guess that doesn’t work anymore so you can use profilestr.come now
.com damnit lol

😂😂😂
Zap only with proof of work.
Good work.
Cleaning the noise 🤣
Would be a cool nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuurpwfjhgmeww3hhwmsprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5cfkclk filter 🤙
Great idea!
I don't know why here are people who only spams shit in someone's posts. I get that a lot. I mute them too following my Nostriches friends advice.
You're doing the right thing. I think you should stick with genuine accounts that actually want to read your content. Have you tried campaigns on nostr:nprofile1qqsxcfa94gptw6wxk50a0mwcp3djrwd6xtqkmyfm90ywzctlk3tndqqpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vpj9eukz6mfdphkumn99e3k7mgpr9mhxue69uhkummnw3exx6r9vd4jumt99aex2mrp0yx8r3l7 ?
I have not. I’ll check it out. I’m not really promoting anything other than being a Nostr user at the moment so I don’t much care about being boosted.
You're really attracting attention here, and your profile is very genuine. I enjoy reading your posts whenever I can and following you. We need to build something real here.
Smart choice — better to zap real creators than grifters.
Smart move , protecting your sats doesn't mean you are being stingy🫡
That sounds like a rigorous approach.
That's true. Some people will try to get your bitcoin any way they can.
Thank you for wanting to create a more active and valuable community.
I don't understand: Why don't you just zap content you like. Regardless of the npub? If you like it zap it, if you don't like it ignore it, if you hate it mute the npub.
Hay muchas cuentas falsas, hay que entrar en cada una y ver su actividad
Sounds like the love of a pretty woman is hard.
Support! Keep your vibes high!!
Damn is there a way we can find out & pinpoint those npubs? 💜🤷♂️
I’ve just been muting the ones that are obvious. Also you can check to see if they zap, when they started their npub etc on http://profilestr.com
