Introducing Top Zaps
We just released an update to all Primal clients. You’ll notice that we now render several top zaps at the bottom of each note. The top zapper gets their zap message displayed. Brevity is enforced: we only allow room for 4-5 short words. Anyone can zap any note and include any message. Note author can mute abusive users and keep their sats. Let’s see how this goes!

Zaps are the signal.

oh I see this is already live in Android 👀👀👀 great work.
Great zap⚡️
Really Parimal is doing the work of next level 💜🙏
The new update looks really slick. Great job!
Zapvertising is back ⚡️
yesssirrrr
Awesome ⚡✨
Great 🤙⚡
back to the future ⚡️
make zaps great again
Super impressive! Well done.
Well now I can see that a large zap I sent yesterday does not appear to have gone through. My primal wallet says it did, but it is not shown beneath the user post.

Very nice, top zappers style reminds me telegram reactions style… looks good 🫡
I like It! 😍
same, same I can see the deductions but not bellow the note.
Nice 🩵
🫡 LFG
🍎
Moar zap features. I hope every client follows suit on this 🔥🔥🔥
Hint hint, @Fabian 🤣
🤣 you didn’t pay 100k. Your photoshop skills are really good. We all know this!
The IRS thanks you.
Be nice to update the message as you zap
We weren't sure about that zap. Can you please try again? Higher amount this time please.
HAHAHAHAHAHAAA
sir, I have cryptographic proof from your node!!!
Press & hold the zap button. That will bring up the option to set custom amount and message.
The receiving wallet service needs to publish the receipt for the zap to appear. Can you please DM me so that we can take a closer look?
We hope so too!
Primal followed @PABLOF7z's lead on this. I think @npub1w0rt...cu4x was the first client to implement the top zaps feature.
Sick 🫡
how do you add thé message with the zap
You should display the top zaps on the notes in the feed too
Usually the client lets you enter a comment when zapping
Great idea 💡
100k is child's play, @miljan !
but I did the same on zaplife, but the cap was 1.1M 😅
nice feature
fuck the irs
Maybe. You should still try again. It will prob work next time.
cool idea to spotlight zaps as an important social signal! can't wait to see how it changes the dynamic. hopefully not just an ad space auction 😝
Value is the algorithm. #zapvertise
Zapvertise – Footstr
Glad to see @jb55's idea being put into action.
yes, it's impossible to know how top zaps will actually be used out there in the wild. there is probably a lot we still don't understand about this feature.
but even if some portion of it ends up being an ad space auction, imho that's still very interesting. 100% of the proceeds going directly to the content creator is kinda wild.
top zaps will evolve for sure. we'll just have to observe how they are being used and improve things. the obvious next step is to provide some level of customization to note authors, so they can disable disable this or set threshold amounts. we want to do this in a standard way so all nostr clients can benefit.
in any case: 🍿 🍿 🍿
sweet
How do you add a note to zap besides the old customization way through settings?
I would categorize top zap not as top zap amount, but top zap volume.
Let it be for ads better to go to the note poster than some centralized company like X, YouTube, Meta
Nice reintroduction of Zaps (For Apple Users) but how long until they clap down on Primal just like they did with Damus?
Get an Android use #Amethyst and Primal as a secondary option, don't centralize nostr on a few clients wallets and relays.
Remember way we are here for.

good point - even deliberate monetization of the creator's reach is pretty powerful and could be the start of a whole new model. very cool, and pretty mindblowing how much space there is for this type of experimentation with Nostr + zaps.
good point!
this value for value is out of this fiat world
so freaking cool!!!
A really interesting idea on how gamify zaps to surface new content and contextually push v4v.
Muting is proprietary or is there a NIP?
Exactly why I picked it!
@hzrd149 was first to be fair 😉
Game changer. This reminds me of
But way bigger

The Million Dollar Homepage - Wikipedia
Ah yes. Forgot about that one!
I think we will have many million dollar notes on nostr.
Thanks!
Muting is based on the standard NIP-51 mute list. Any client can implement the top zaps feature easily.
Great
Sweet!! 🔥🔥🔥 is there still a way to see the total zap amount? Not just the number of zaps, but total sats zapped.
Can the message be muted without the implication that it is 'abusive'? Can the mute be based on poster's preferences / rule based controls? i.e. timeshare, rotation, 'don't show unless '4/25/24 xyz' are included, etc
We display total sats zapped in the reactions section (next to like, repost, etc. buttons). We could prob make this more prominent.
Note author has complete control when it comes to muting. They can mute whoever they want to mute without providing a reason.
Note that we are simply using nostr's standard NIP-51 mute list for this.
Increíble update 🔥
heck ya
I love the genuinity and creativity of open source projects!
Keep it coming! 👏
Government can distract us with privacy war, but FREEDOM TECH will PERSEVERE! 🕊️🧡
Keep on building FREEDOM TECH DEVs !🫡 🍻 🌻
#Developers
There is another detail taken from Telegram but I'm going to leave it a secret to see if anyone else who uses Primal sees it 👀
The *real* comments.
No @ in front of miljan? But there is in front of your handle…so, I dunno.
The only problem is that when the message is big i can't read all of it
We need a bad connection to be able to see it 👀
Wow! well done primal #devs this is a fantastic feature. It's great to see improvement like this that affect the experience, in a positive way.
You probably already are working on this but Might I suggest focusing on hashtags page and top notes which you can sort by more time values, like 3 day and week. Just my two #sats
Good luck with development and have fun! ✌️

Try out the web/desktop version
A feature to make the already large accounts even larger, along with those who invest in them. Development is heading in a completely wrong direction.
lol or not use primal
this isn't twitter
Can you skip sending the message when it is empty? 

Love it ⚡🤙
Nice job 💜
Reach to capture the moment


Yeah, "lol", then I won't use it anymore.
Am I not allowed to say my opinion? This is not Twitter. This is nostr. Where everybody has to shill the next big feature, or he gets attacked by some anonymous nobody, right?
GM legend 🫡
Hi! A feature suggestion: Stop requesting the public key from the extension all the time, just cache it. The Blockcore Wallet reports whenever the key is used and it could probably be optimized by not requesting this much. 

Yes I suffer from this as well
Best suggestion! The lot of requests really suck.
not attacking just pointing out you have choice! that's a feature
i lol'd because im happy we are out of twitter lock
please don't leave nostr for feature shill, just ignore it if it's not your cup
also you hurt my feelings 🫣
Oh I'm really sorry for that. Forgive me.
