i don't really care how much you zap. it's the action of sending the zap, 1 sat or 100,000 sats, that matters.

I default to 1 zap to encourage me to use it, and itโs pretty easy to bump it up if I want to.
I want a variety in the zap department. Small ones for random likes, medium ones to emphasize it and large ones to truly support.
they all do their part.
I agree. Anyone who thinks otherwise will get zero sats from me.
Itโs funny you post this, because I scrolled farther and realized itโs a larger ongoing conversation. Iโm not sure why we would shame any zap just on its size alone.
I think Iโm alright being called a weed, Iโve always loved dandelions


yup. Not zapping is worse.
Retard.

i gotchu.
True
I agree๐
I'd rather get 69 sats than 100
I agree with this - mostly
Although 1 sat zaps piss me off haha. Feels more like an insult than real value.
But if someone zaps one of my posts, it's usually an auto-follow.
Why?
1. I know they're somewhat experienced in Bitcoin
2. I know they understand the importance of building on nostr
3. I know they're (most likely) a real human being
The best investment you can make in 2026 (IMO) is zapping more on Nostr

Exactly I agree with you ๐ฏ
One in four men have thisproblems...but not me!!! โกโกโก
Zap โกโกโก
Thereโs literally a 99,999 sat difference between a 1 sat and 100k sat zap. It is far more than just the action of sending a zap that matters ๐
if someone sends me 100K zap i am going to notice them, follow them if im not already doing so, and be forever grateful.
if someone sends me a 1 sat zap, it will get lost in the shuffle of things and they won't get noticed. it's near meaningless, but not completely meaningless.
at some levels i care, but i also don't care at other levels.
in the absolute grand scheme of things, i don't care. im happy that they're using nostr and zapping. that is what im truly passionate about.
day to day derek does care a little bit too. i would use those funds for either my son's used car that i want to get him or for a new fridge for my house that is needed.
each zap matters for a different reason. i guess that is my point.
What do you mean? I'm lost..
#JustZap
With that added context, I donโt think we really disagree too much on the subject.
Ok๐ณ
@corndalorian what do you think about that? I think I am winning these 2 sat "zaps for weed" discussion ... lemme see ur arguments bro!
The people who complain about low sat zaps are just zap farmers who add no value to the network.
People who repost memes from twitter.
If someone complains about small zaps, stop zapping them altogether.
I think Derek already clarified it well, and I am about 95% in agreement with what he says here ๐

if you get enough zaps your son could get a used lambo ๐คญ
haha, probably not.
i have a 2016 VW Jetta that i got brand new in October 2015. that's the car he has been driving with for the last 6 months.
my plan is to put money down and help him get another Jetta since that's the car that he likes and is used to driving. i don't want to just get a newer car myself and give him the older car. i want him to have a car that has some safety features built in that are now standard, that mine does not have. i want him to have the safer vehicle. so, since he has a job, we're going to pay the monthly payments together. But, dad will put a couple thousand down to help him bring the payments down to something more manageable for him.
That's great! My dad also supported me with my first car

Zap
Its the thought that counts!
People aren't zapping because they want to get more followers.
I don't care if Derek follows me back, I'm going to zap him either way, he's a good guy, he has good takes, he puts work and effort into improving nostr, especially the welcomings to new users.
Pretty much the opposite of zap farmers like corndalorian that the primal app suggests to every new user.
I wouldn't know about corndalorian if I didn't use primal to make my account.
I would know Derek either way, he actually talks to people like a normal human being and doesn't have some fucked up god complex.

Yeah I think like is recognition, and zap encouragement
@corndalorian will never understand this.
.5 sat zaps 4 life. ๐

Thank you for your opinion, but my interactions with both @Derek Ross and @corndalorian have been an absolute blessing of online confrontation ๐งก we are on Nostr, of course we are gods in the real world ๐
Ah, youโve encountered one of my loyal haters I see ๐
Got it!
Zaps are zaps
That's Zaptastic my good sir
Sure
Zaps - for when "I like this" doesn't carry enough weight. ๐
