Oddbean new post about login | logout Yeah, its like zapathon. It was fun, for a bit. I've moved on.
Same here. Started seeing as a marketing stunt to attract listeners. Plus, we were not breaking anything anymore.
I actually am loathe to zap half-hearted introductory notes, as it finally occured to me that someone could just churn those out and collect the money. Npubs show up, say "Hi, I'm new here!", and then we zap so hard that the profile trends. And then the profile sometimes goes dormant.
Seems to happen more with girls' PfPs. Because reasons. Makes me sort of envious, as only my bros zap me, and there's probably some dude in Asia collecting real money with pics of AI-generated mids standing in front of their fake kitchens or hugging their pretend pets. 🙄 You can often tell because they're so perfectly nondescript, unintimidating, and precisely mid. Maths. 🤌
Hi, I'm new here! Can someone help me find my way around Nostr? And what is this zap thing? #introductions https://image.nostr.build/ceb3e7fefc36d8c3dfb38f22631502ab40d0a9e3afb740d524f0058f18c0ae60.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=512x512&blurhash=UQH.1o-%3B%7EpD%24%5E%25xtNfRjNbM%7CV%3Ft7I%3Bt8%252j%5B&x=b5130317c22f33d3c1090efcc342822ed020d834650f2256b8158404f661d67a
GM Leserin! 👋 And welcome to Nostr! You are welcome to follow me and check out my following list to see if there's others that catch your eye 👍 I’m pretty #Nostr and #bitcoin focused, but some of the people I follow are not. This will explain everything about Nostr and how it works: https://nostr.com/ If you have any questions try to use hashtags about the topic or #asknostr Good luck and have fun! #grownostr
LOL
Damn I guess you’re right….should look at peoples profiles before I trust that they are new. But at least I’m just blindly reaching out to connect instead of blindly zapping 😂🤷♂️
That was cute. 😂
We need some reach-out bots that just respond to people being introduced, or something.
nostr.com does not explain how to get a NPUB. There is a portion that recommends using a client, but skips over the actual getting the NPUB part, and doesn't scrape getting a LNURL. Any tips? I got mine from getalby, but they are now invite only and frankly, I would rather have my own and not have it linked to a product.
Use #Amethyst for that.
Seems like I keep seeing a bunch of issues popping up with amethyst though? Kinda seems like that with Primal too recently….
Almost every client can generate a nsec/npub for you. I'm not sure what you mean by LNURL not being part of a product. It'sthe address for your lighting wallet and it has a lot of options. On the custodial side Alby is one of the better solutions and even though they are invite only, it's fairly easy to get one. A really quick option is mash.com and if you're outside the US Wallet of Satoshi. If you want selfcustody Zeus, Mutin Wallet, Phoenix Wallet are all good options, but with self custody you will need to pay a fee to open a lightning channel. Personally I don't think it's worth it if you're starting out and keeping less that $10 in there
Hi Leserin, and welcome. Nice trousers, btw. Just let me ask you something. Did it hurt when they took your nails away? Please don't send nudes. Ever.
Terrible interior decoration.
Bro what's going on with that light in the background 😂
LOL. I'm more wondering why her finger is missing a joint.
She's doesn't smoke herb?
The towel warming light is a great invention. 😂
What happened to your fingers? 😧
I would hope the more nostr grows the more zaps are a background function. Do zapath0ns still exist? I think I still have that muted
I haven't seen any zapathon notes, lately, but I probably don't follow anyone in that crowd.
I enjoyed the Zapathons - a bit of fun while they lasted and a demo of the tech/wallets/LNURLS etc. Never were going to last though. I regularly prune my following list with a simple criteria: don’t post anything for 6+ months and I’ll likely unfollow you.
I'm down to 3 months. And if you bore me or fail to interact with me, you also get dumped. No more follow spam.
Yep - likewise.
