 I hedged my language cuz @k00b kind of invented the zap pre-nostr on @SN 

j/k Silk Road was a good, but early use-case, tho it had nowhere near the frequency of a media-use-case

 I believe zaps even pre-date SN but I wasn’t aware of them at the time. 

In 2014, as I was told, someone did them onchain! Zapread.com also might’ve existed before sn (or came into existence at roughly the same time) but I think they zapped “tickets.” And @Super Testnet implemented a zap voting system for @TheGuySwann  before SN too I think.

 Yeah, even though i have paused everything with the website the vote page is still live and it was a ton of fun for the 8 months or so I was keeping up with it.

My intention is to redesign it to just work with Nostr posts but bring it back because it was good signal for what to cover on the podcast. And with Nostr the whole setup is far simpler.

But right now I have someone finally doing work on the website to get it into some sort of working order, so hopefully before the end of this year we have something solid and working to share so that can come back to life. Miss it

 It's a model I wished all podcasts would follow, or all creators for that matter. Maybe it's something nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7qgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxvmm4de6xz6tw9enx6tcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qqswfa547pdmqkerzf2uen3agudc67wxffjmenqpge3dylc006fppysng62q3  and nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgewaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8xmn0wf6zuum0vd5kzmp0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qyd8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn6v43x2er9v5hxxmr0w4jz7qgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8wctkd3skkefwvdhk6tcpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsqgqncc7ld3t9rgasu02n7dqwdcmsk9q2vf2hg20azedeg9323ulfyv9ed59n  can support. I know they're both doing more nostr integrations.

 Ah, a forum site called "WitCoin" is the original zap inventor by the looks of it. It dates all the way back to 2011!

 The whole point of Bitcoin is use case, and sitting on it is only one use case.  There are hundreds of other use cases.
