NOSTR ideas, can someone please put me in contact with a dev?

1. Allow people to fund the development of NOSTR software by a "zap to post" option, so if I want to post something important I can pay a zap to post it and I can also filter by "zapped to post" and by who/what I zapped. So if I want to filter by all zapped to fund Primal posts (for example) I can do that

2. Allow people to audio post, an AI tidies the text, in fact the audio could be an instruction to the AI to summarize, you can have additional options to modify, redo, speak back and so on and once you're ready you pay a zap to post

Thoughts anyone? 
 Why do you need to pay to post when you can just zap developers any time? 
 How can I send you a voice message? It's possible? 
 No. Voicemail on nostr? 
 have you got telegram?
 
 I’d love to give a split of INCOMING zaps to devs of the tools being used and the reposters. 


Who would get a split for my music if it ever received zaps:
- producers
- performers 
- engineers
- developers of free production tools 
- developers of free publishing tools 
- developers of free “consumption” tool delivering the zap 
- media host 
- curators/reposters 

Who am I missing? 
 I will make a video explaining my idea and link it here 
 Isn’t this zap pools basically? 
 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?
video uploading now 
 Snort.social 
 cheers 
 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 :) 
 zap to post and filter zapped posts would be good because it should cut down/stop dead people posting silly stuff constantly
 
 Yeah but only on that client and how would you know where they are posting from? It would need to be on a specific relay but then why not just post to a paid relay and just read from that paid relay. The barrier to posting is too low where other clients may not follow. 
 i don't understand how the whole network works in detail, all i know is i've never understood why you can't make a micropayment to post on social media, this would kill a load of spam and noise that plagues all social media
 
 You can here but instead of paying every time you just pay once to use a paid relay. If you want signal, read from that relay only. 

You could also make lists and just read from a list without micropayments. It’s more about what you filter out vs forcing people to filter in 
 Ok cool I'll research that 
 It has been mused. People also looked into Proof of Work as a way to cut down spam. 
 You can add pow to notes too and just pay attention to ones with pow but I don’t find it interesting 
 it needs to be a payment 
 Paid relay 😉
