If you truly value nostr’s future, why do you only send single-digit zaps?

They mean "look at me". And it works. 🤷
If you single-digit zap this you’re gay.

Big zapper over here … amiright 😂😂😂
If clients would denominate zaps in $ I think ppl would zap waaaay more. $0.01, $0.05, $0.10
$0.10 feels reasonable, 100 SATs feels like a lot

So Nostr is only here so that you can give away your BTC. MMmmm interesting.
Small zaps today, moonshots tomorrow 🚀⚡ Every sat counts for nostr’s future. Stack ‘em, share ‘em, and let’s build the network together 🫂
Mfers just trying to get to a million sats corn 🤣
You can choose to be unnecessarily offended by this statement, or you can realize that one of the biggest differences of Nostr is the user-centric economic dynamics created by the protocol’s design. The incentives here for users/consumers, artists/creators, businesses, and app developers are different than legacy social media. That’s why so many are here in the first place. Zaps are crucial to nostr’s future. Getting offended just means you’re probably a cheap ass and don’t like feeling called out.

Americans zapping less than 1cent worth of sats can gtfo
As an American, I agree. Instant follow 🤣🤝
true, but I don't have more 🤷
🤝😄
Faxx. Bros zapped me 8 sats for my value i pulled down my content.
Amo NOSTR y el estándar en su mayoría es 21
Don't listen to this nonsense, if you want to zap 1 sat, that's fine. 1 sat is as valuable as many zaps. We're not here to make anyone rich and zapping big amounts of zaps everytime isn't going make nostr more popular. It's just going to attract greedy people and will want bigger and bigger zaps.
Zap the amount you want, not what greedy people want.
Ok commie
Cause I I'd poor since I missed the last zapathon
if u value this protocoal why aren't you sending more money to random people over a barely related dogshit blockchain
nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzp78xcep59u0q2fyqvv8z0cgpdh8rtlp6v98xqs60aa92y5pn9r9fqqsxfms5gvfl6e7wlfeg3099xa9fpwf5lt3l4kmw6npaxdtkzm9n6dcdpasad
For me It's way more about reaching a broader audience that doesn't even know what SATs are than focusing on bigger zaps
Nah
People should be able to zap whatever amount they want without criticism
I dislike the folks that shame single digit zappers
Fuck thst guy instant block /mute
Gay
People can send what they want. People can criticize what they want. Single digit zaps are objectively cheap as fuck and if that’s all people ever zap, as many do (not you), then Nostr is fucked.
What people do with their money is their business
A single digit zap ⚡️ is better than no zap at all
Gay af to question the people sending low amount zaps
They might be broke and not have a lot to give
They might be doing other things
You have no idea what people are doing with their sats.
They don’t have to zap at all
And the assumption that since your American you should zap more is completely bull shit imo

No you are wrong on this issue buddy
People should be able to do whatever they want with their money
I hate the idea of a default zap amount
I zap only when I want to
And however much I want to
If I zap one sat
That’s my business
I can do whatever I want
Stop trying to pressure folks to zap more
They can do whatever they want
lol
You can do what you want. Anyone can. My opinion doesn’t have to be yours.
Your opinion sucks on this issue
Imo
You’re welcome to think that 🤷♂️😂 Nobody is going to stay creating content on Nostr if they only get zapped a couple of cents a day. You don’t have to like that statement, but it doesn’t make it any less true.
Maybe folks like jack dorsey should zap more
Idk
I see what your saying
I poured my heart and soul into my podcasts
Made like 10,000 sats
All from one guy basically
You're wrong. Many of us will happily stay here zapping each other small or big zaps including myself.
You won't stay on nostr if everyone zaps little amounts, you are probably one of those people who want to make a living making notes on nostr and will quit when you realize you won't be able to.
You should leave already. You don't deserve any zaps
No he deserves zaps
I love corns memes
🫂 Anyone creating serious content here right now is in it for the long haul if they stay 😂 But when good content DOES cross our feed we ought to be zapping it more than a couple sats if we enjoyed it. That’s going to look different for each person as for what they enjoy. Some will love podcasts, some music, etc. But there’s a reason people, even bitcoiners, are still mostly creating their content for other social networks instead of nostr.
I’ve been here 3 years already. Not going anywhere. This is about something bigger than me.
I never zap anything less than 58.
Disagree. It's costing you the same or more to route that payment. If you ran a lightning move you would know but 1 sat zaps are all coming from custodial wallets.
Why are you offended
Jack Dorsey sending a 5,000 sat zap
Is the equivalent of me sending a 1 sat zap
Actually it’s worse than that
lol
His default zap being 1 million sats
Would be like my default zap being 1 sat

Every single-digit zap is a 'Thank You' for the future, not a 'Down Payment' on it. Besides, if everyone waited to send a big one, who would keep the lightning flowing? 😉 ⚡️
Nobody is offended
Corn brings up a good point
People that can afford to show appreciation and zap the stuff they like should support it more
If they care about Nostr
I agree with him in a way
But my issue is guys like jack mallers and jack Dorsey sending tiny zaps
Like bro I zap more than y’all do and y’all are billionaires
Weather it’s coming from a custodial wallet or not has nothing to do with whst we are talking about here
Always 42 sat minimum
A double digit zap is worth less than a penny in dollar terms, I think it’s fine to jump off single digits bro but we all do what we want here.
maybe that's all your meme was worth, corn
Amen! My minimum is 50, but you only get it if I really like your content. Some day I'll be rich and then I'll be flinging sats like a BALLER!
That's a great question! I value Nostr's future precisely because I send single-digit zaps.
My philosophy is to spread support wide: I aim to zap more people, more often, for all the high-quality micro-content that makes the network thrive. I see it as supporting adoption and participation over funding a single mega-post.
Think of it as maximizing connectivity over maximizing a single payout. Every little spark of appreciation fuels the fire! 🔥
If honey badger don't give a fuck, why does ostrich?
Small-minded people think this is about me begging for money.
The content farming low effort spammers will ruin a network faster than anything. Zap beggars should be ignored.
no, just that sometimes your content is mid, you want more sats? make better shit.
Pretty incredible that you can send value of less than .01 cent for the first time ever.
Reverse psychology is the order of the day, I see...

What if someone doesn't have a lot of Sats? For all you know that's a lot to them. Kind of arrogant to insult sat zappers.

My bad, bro. Let me know when your NOSTR user manual comes out.
so you're one of those people who thinks they're owed than they earned? are you also on welfare and food stamps?
wtf are you even talking about? Reading comprehension not your best attribute apparently.
Sad to see you have no fu clue…yet.

It’s your choice to be offended 🤷♂️😂

kinda fun to see you bring up this topic every so once in a while over the last 3 years. so many new faces show up in the replies.
Speech is communication.
Bitcoin is speech.
This means zaps is communication.
I like freedom of speech.
Humans blaming others for zapping what they consider „low“ zaps
have still a lot to uncover on their own journey.
Or they just might not have enough corn.
Change my mind 🧡🗽💜
And if you like bitcoin.And if you like nostr. Which is probably the case. This means you probakly like freedom of speech?
So let people speak through zaps. Number dont matter. Its a freaking cool communication tool. No need for public notes in the comments. Thats a pretty sick skill of this orange beast.
Nobody and nothing can stop that.
So if you are laughing or bs on what „you consider low high etc“ you might just be still retarded as fuck.
Cause truth is that you might be part of a reason that is fighting against own soldiers and are disrtracted from the real reason what we are doing this for dumba$$?
Fighting for greedom? Not against each other setting rules for others?
You either dont understsnd yet or you are not getting everything out of the beast. we strengthen the beast by using it as a tool kit as much as possible needed. You can just communicate through zaps GFY 🖕🏼

Haven’t read so much bs for a while. Thx 4 wasting my time.
some content don't deserve any zaps
some content deserve single digit zaps
some content deserve double digit zaps
three digit zaps...and so on.
when people send single digit zaps for 3 digit zap content, that is when it is problematic. At best they're ignorant because they don't know the value of work (how sad) and at worst, they're trying to take advantage of other people's work.
Currently because my zapping wallet was custodial ( nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnsv9ex2ar09e6x7amwqyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsqzq5edsvxllcyuz0n4azc5tjp9wx8uz2cqq0mp6c0fqamjr3llly7tksuz3y ) and signing in to the app doesn't work so I haven't been able to access the funds in the last few months. Maybe this is the wake up call to finally jump in to the lightning rabbit hole. (Any good (practical) resources would be appreciated.)
you think you deserve money when you refuse to put in the work. you're an easily offended socialist.

Sweet, I need more blocks/mutes
I choose to zap you ( and not only you) zero even though some of you meme's make me laugh. Freedom of choice.
🤣
i mean just setting up zaps takes a while and then you have to understand lightning etc.
this is not trivial for many people.
if i have learned anything while building many dozen consumer products:
your customers are much much dumber than you think.
neither zaps nor lightning is „easy“ to set up for non technical people in a world where „tap to pay“ is the norm.

He wants Nostr adoption to go crazy… as do I
Truth is creators make way more money on tik tok YouTube and x
It’s hard to make money on Nostr
So I get the frustration
….
As with all things business in life, 'your' profitability in the market isn't the concern of anyone else unless you provide something so vital that the supply chain fails.
The currency, the methods of communication; neither change that sad reality.

I found Minibits with Primal works well, simply. It can get really complicated.
I don’t really agree.
Revolutions aren’t supposed to be easy freedom takes effort, learning, and a bit of discomfort.
You just start, then you keep going.
And you live it: #hodl #spend #replace ⚡
because its more about me than you
bc i understand the intrinsic value of satoshis
I was actually considering taking my podcast to YouTube
Should I?
Serious question lol
I agree to that nostr:nprofile1qqsw2gmsywjupy570tsw2y5dgx5zzvfcgq8vzyxma8v29ync7g4hcycy0yyz2
it depends on what kind of revolution we are talking about. if you are dependent on people using the „product“ it needs to be as frictionless as possible.
otherwise it will remain niche.
it‘s the same with your other points. no vendor would ever take btc as payment (at scale) if it was not easily and automatically integrated in the payment terminal.
I'm still figuring out how to send negative zaps

If Devs value nostrs future why are zaps Bitcoin lightning exclusive?
Using Nostr and zaps helps dispell unit bias.

Change my mind
Is Nostr mostly populated by gamers, movie and music buffs and crypto miners? I just arrived and so far can’t relate…
you want my 1 sat or not?
What else is there?
Monero, Bitcoin on chain, lite coin BCH etc.
Nostr offers freedom and user control, but the nip for zaps is lightning only. It should be expanded at the protocol level to let users add whatever they want and set a preference.
The network effect will favour the most commonly held and user friendly method. This competition will support genuine development and help prevent Bitcoin becoming captured.
I think having a metadata field where any addresses can be added is probably all thats needed ( the about me field can already be used for this but probably best to have one just for addresses). Then, its up to the clients to create ways to zap notes with whatever crypto they want to support. That is how a few clients have successfully integrated xmr zaps.
Yes, it's so easy I can't fathom why it hasn't been implemented. Instead we have competing clients just so people can zap in monero.
Thats mostly shitcoins. Please god no.
They are all shitcoins while Bitcoin is accessible to anyone. If Bitcoin become an instrument of the banks, where only institutions can afford on chain fees and everyone is paying fees to bankers to move custodial Bitcoin, they become tools of empowerment.
If we want to ensure Bitcoin development stays on track, we must ensure it has to compete in a free market.
heads-up: we looked for a lightning address on your profile but could not find one... u can get a free one at https://rizful.com ... and then reply back to this comment so we can zap you.
Does Rizful wallet, support Lightning Address endpoint support LUD-21 (Nostr zap receipts)? Zap Stream backends require LUD-21 compatibility for generating invoices.
I need an LNURL-Pay endpoint that includes the Nostr zap request in the invoice metadata as per LUD-21.
yes, it does
