There are 30,000 weekly users
Only 1000 of us are zapping daily.
If you dont zap, why and is there anything that would lead you to zap more?

One must use a client that is frictionless and set a budget and zap when one is amused or educated
We think we solve this problem with the Attention Marketplace we are building at @nextblock.
Right now there is no money coming in, only out via zaps. So people are pulling from their own Bitcoin. If they have any.
Through an Attention Marketplace, people set the price of their Attention, the marketplace matches them with advertisers who will pay that price. They watch the ad, get paid, then keep scrolling. Overtime, they will have earn sats to give out, fully funding the value4value model.
I went zapless a while ago. Saw it as a problem (even though it’s a solution to other problems). That’s not what the main focus of Nostr should be. Wanna have money flow on Nostr? Fine! But take it seriously
I love zapping and I love receiving zaps and I love Nostr 💜⚡️🫂🧡
Becuase people who use #Amethyst need a seperate wallet they either zap and need to open the other app which people get tired of, or use Alby Connect but again not everybody wants to do that so they just 'like' and dont zap.
i assume #amsthyst has a huge user base.
NWC for the win. I use Amethyst and don't even have to open another app. I do run a lightning node though, so there's that.
but thats kinda my point.
Does Damus have a built in wallet? Primal is good for zapping but not #amethyst because users are lazy (im speaking for myself) i dont want to run a node and set all this stuff up.
Yup, paycheck raise will definitely help 😃
I used to zap daily, and large amounts. But I have been rugged so many times on my provider 4+ I think. I just have been conditioned not to hit the button any more because it barely works for me. But I will try and zap this post, thanks for the reminder.
Because I use Amethyst and I find it a pain to always have to open another app to zap. Otherwise I would zap all the time.
this sounds cool
I have been zapping off Zbd sats for the past 3 mo
What should the main focus of nostr be?
Decentralized censorship resistance
It's kind already there, no?
Maybe. Truly, I do not know. Is it sustainable? Not in current shape.
I probably zap less than before (than a year ago). I’ll zap npubs I’ve known for a while rather than zappjng everyone, like before. Or I’ll zap a dev when a cool new feature comes out.
having some sats to be able to Zapp people would be cool
In as much as I did not die by electrocution fixing my house, I shall zap on your behalf if need be.
Zapping by proxy? 😂
Im 4000 sats short of being able to host my own channel on electrum. I need to have at least 200k i only have 196k.
Zapping by Proxy, friends like epoxy, stickin together even if they play hockey.
Lol my content cant even get a like. A woman can post a picture of her toe and get 50 likes. I can write 4 paragraphs of my deepest thoughts and not even get one like.
It takes up to a minute to zap someone with my wallet loading. Too much time
Im fully de-googled and working on linux and ubuntu touch. So its a little harder... But my bigest road block is the 4000 sat shortage. Ive acumulated all my btc dust into one wallet and am so close to being able to zap.
Funny memes.
I'm too old for ZBD. I'm not a gamer. I tried it and everything sucks from my point of view.
If you do the odd survey its a few sats beyond that Bitcoin rocks folks will zap yea if you put up their sticks
It is!! Sign up for the beta at www.joinnextblock.com & follow @nextblock for updates 🤗
No survey applicable for my region 🤷🏽
As a Sicilian-American @node I feel slighted by the rejection of my gift. And now I shall have to zap you even larger amounts until you accept.
There’s a message with it 🕊️
I actually couldn't read the whole thing on primal so I assumed it ended in GFY and so I had to go to the matresses. Feel free to fwd my sats to the pleb of your choosing
There’s no GFY friend 😂😂
😜 🤣
interesting. signed up.
Thanks! The idea is @Ian & mine. We’ve been doing a podcast ( @npub1627m...3aec) for 3 years and stumbled into this idea. Our next episode is gonna explain the idea and how we’ve set up the business. We see the attention marketplace as a public good. It will be open source. It will be made publicly.

linking to multiple wallets in an easier way?
Nostr user here that does not use lightning. If I could I would zap you some Lightcoin. 😜 But alas, Nostr does not support that.
You don't have to run a node with amethyst to have one click zaps.
Nwc allows a "one click zap" experience without leaving the app.
It's up to you what type of wallet you connect to via the nwc.
This is absolutely amazing, I am sorry I didn't have the time yesterday to fully respond. The attention economy is in full swing time for it to be brought to nostr.
I remember when I first got here I zapped Dorsey he zappedr back. I bought his attention with a zap it was very cool. If we can create more zappers a larger economy can grow.
zap this ⚡
more recibe... more zap
We’re gonna make it happen. Thanks for liking the idea 🤗 we spent almost a year designing the incentive structure of the attention marketplace to keep it non exploitative and self funded.
Stay tuned for updates!
iPhone makes it a pain with wallet connection to apps.
Which client are you using?
Which do you recommend for zapping on iOS? It used to be so easy with Damus, until they had to remove the feature. Primal seems to want KYC info.
Imho? I guess i realy dont know any other way? Any sugestions? @dan
!!! Success !!!
I finaly connected my Alby extension with NOSTR and Blink wallet (where I was already receiving my zap).
I guess I missed the option the first time I tried because of the way it's name in french. Ahah
Litteraly translate to : Bitcoin Beach Wallet
Thanks for reporting 🙌 I guess product names shouldn't be translated 🙈 Fix is on the way!
