 Not familiar with zap pools… 

It’s just an old idea/perspective I regurgitate every now and then 
 Heya.fund

Snort has this built in. Zaps are split between a pool of people 
 It wouldn’t be like pools, each zap would get split. 
Yes, I experimented with Snort splits when first launched nostr:note10wlfvxav9cysrvcgmwq00fawe3prgeemg7u527qrxp8yuqsgmvrqd9j22z
 But other clients did not embrace it. Also, it would miss the option to make some of the splits conditional (media client delivering the zap, curators/reposters acting as marketing, or even media host in a blossom context) 
 So you’d generate 10 invoices for 1 zap for 10 people? You’d have a high failure rate 
 what is snort?

 Oh, I have no idea how it could be achieved. Just saying it would be cool if it could act like that. I assume that pooling and allowing stakeholders to withdraw would make it easier. But then the pool holds the funds and as it grows attacks become more and more tempting to bad actors. 
 Pool works just as you described but the split doesn’t happen on every zap but after some time. This reduces the failed invoice rate 
 At least that’s how I understand it. Maybe @Kieran can share more insights 
 Interesting. So we’d just need to find a way to have the pool become the zap target for a track or other collaborative content. Can I make a single note have a different zap address than the other in some clients? 
 Yes you can. Snort has supported this for ages 
 Cool! Will run some tests next week. Thanks 
 Prisms might make it an instant payment to multiple parties. 
 Seems some devs find them unsafe at the moment. It’s all beyond my understanding of things. I’m just playing with the idea of nostr content distribution, use code to replace greedy lawyers and accountants. Have zap flow because of content, use the flow of zaps to support infrastructure… 
 I think all of this is already possible technically

Here you go, hope that explains my points
 
 Ty for the video! Idea one sounds interesting to test. Maybe someone can take you  up on it. 

Idea 2 sounds very close minus the chat gpt stuff to a client I teased (design only) that is all for audio notes. If you see my notes there’s one long one with a bunch of links and one of them is NED. 

Idea 3 exists already I think. We have bounty client on nostr where you can zap bounties that you feel are good ideas. Actually I don’t remember if the zap comes out right away or just says you owe this much. It would be easy to get scammed if you zap a stranger right away. I forget the client name but it might be on nostrapps.com 
 ok, thanks for replying. cheers :)
