I default to 1 zap to encourage me to use it, and it’s 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.
I agree. Anyone who thinks otherwise will get zero sats from me.
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

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.

One in four men have thisproblems...but not me!!! ⚡⚡⚡
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.
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.
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.
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
Zaps - for when "I like this" doesn't carry enough weight. 😉
