Experimenting with adding zaps inline on threads, a few things I want to do before i release this: 1. Make it optional to show up in the thread 2. Make the top zap sticky under the post to encourage larger zaps

Great idea Will 👌 Will encourage zapvertising for sure and that will be interesting to see how it plays out 1st comment slot is always a live ad auction
How would someone reply to zapped content directly? Could you add sub-zaps to add a comment to a specific zapped comment?
These will be used to “zapvertise” in your replies comments. It will be useful to be able to set a minimum threshold for when those are allowed to appear above regular comments from people. A 1-sat zapvertisement for something I may not care is spam potentially drowning out legitimate conversation, and it costs the zapvertiser virtually nothing. Allowing users to set a minimum threshold will cause zapvertisers to be more intentional and less spammy because it will cost them more.
I love your idea of rewarding top zappers for generosity, sharing, support. But have you thought about how to avoid the problem of "the richest get to be the loudest"? I can't claim to have answers, but how about a # of sats threshold that qualifies as a "top reply" and then no upper limit in that category but they're not sorted by sats zapped? The rest go below the "top". Perhaps each user can specify what they consider that # should be for their account. (For @jack mallers it may have to be a lot, for me - like 10 lol).
Can I ask a dumb question … check out the #clapper app - they have functionality that lets content creators monetize in fiat. What’s the diff between “fiat”and “sats” to Apple? 🧐 something smells 🐠 💩
