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.

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.
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?
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 😝
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: 🍿 🍿 🍿
I would categorize top zap not as top zap amount, but top zap volume.
Lo veo perfecto 💯 @miljan @primal #primal image

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.
A really interesting idea on how gamify zaps to surface new content and contextually push v4v. Muting is proprietary or is there a NIP?

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.

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 👀
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! ✌️ View quoted note →
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.
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?
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. image
