I don’t catalog them lol. But I’ve seen plenty of iffy/scammy npubs get zapped. I also see you reposted that one, so I assume that’s why you’re downplaying the significance of it because you’re now embarrassed that you didn’t do your due diligence. It’s not ok to scam people, and it’s not ok to promote scammy behaviors, and downplaying the fact that others do it because you think it’s an insignificant amount is bullshit.
is the homeless guy going to take all the cash he made begging today, get into his bmw l, and drive home cackling? I don't give a fuck. it felt good to give and I like to live from a point of abundance .
yes scamming is not ok and yes it sucks that it gets promoted from time to time. at the same time, I don't want to discourage people from zapping
You are part of the problem. You can waste your sats however you like and I can call you and others out for your stupidity in doing so.
This was not a homeless man standing on a street corner panhandling. This was someone full on pretending to be someone they were not in order to milk money from people. This does not benefit nostr and it should not be minimized as cutesy behavior.
calm down dude and read my whole first sentence. what I meant by someone begging for cash and then getting in their bmw is that is someone that is pretending to be something they arent to scam well meaning plebs.
I just didn't see it as a reason to launch a campaign to shame people into changing their zap behivor because I personally haven't ever seen it be even close to this effective. sounds like you've seen a shit load more of this grift than I have so I asked directly if you've seen anything close to this effective before?
not asking for a catalog but if you can even think of one scam like this that was more effective
