Oddbean new post about login | logout Zaps represent the only fundamentally new innovation in social media. Everything else is a distraction.
Gonna say relays and an uncensorable network are a new innovation too.
Agree but most people won’t care about that. Money flow to them they will definitely care about.
I care about l love bitcoin / I love nostr but open source has a big problem not the whole mass of contributors have access to funds to sustain their work in the long term even when crypto and bitcoin started to solve this problem this problem is not solved yet bitcoin / nostr don’t have a solution to fund contributors yet we are burning devs look my case all my time and attention is here bc of love but the more I do for the common network the less I get funded. how is it possible?
I'm curious though why Zap wouldn't use something like NANO (XNO) instead of BTC though. It's almost instant, and is inherently feeless. It does this without the need for a second layer, and uses ridiculously less power as well. It just seems like a no-brainer for everything this platform (as well as Zap) is about.
few..
i am going to also say truly free speach is a fundamental innovation. no offense @jack
Disagree. The censorship resistant relay structure is the real innovation here.
1 #zap = 1 smile 😀
New here!! How this zaps works?! Likes that are Sats?!
Create a wallet on Alby or Strike. Connect it with your profile Start creating content. People will like and send you zaps ( Sats ) Likes and Zaps are different things. You can buy coffee with Zaps can't with likes.
Zaps are possible way to get monetize as creator from the first post. ❌ You don't need 1k followers and watch time. (YouTube) ❌ You don't need blue tick and 500 followers and impression 1M milestone ( X ) ❌ Brand Deals ( Instagram) Just connect your wallet - > Provide value to your audience - > Start stacking #Bitcoin #nostr is revolutionary moment in social media world.
Sure, but zaps seem almost impossible to figure out without custodial wallets such as WOS. Phoenix does do them. Most don’t do them… What’s the answer?
Phoenix doesn’t* do them*
1. Zeus node in the phone 2. Alby with a self-custodial node 3. Alby or LN.tips custodial and move often to a self-custody wallet
but twitter are adding phone calls 😮
Let’s try taking a poll on this. What’s the bigger innovation, Censorship Resistance or Zapping Lightning Payments on notes? Censorship Resistance note1gh29run0c95caeefmmtz6eq9fuyuwng38a9fekkspm3agg9f6uwqvearjz Zapping Lightning Payments note1xzttexsxmjx8gpam23zdwtncyxeqhz6mxrwmzdutz55erd8r4ugqa342g2
Well, yeah. Wen dating apps have zaps?
When will there be a dating app on Nostr?
Disrupt insurance payments next ;)
420 sats its small step for me but huge step for humanity
nostr:note1y0s6ky8tr7ldq79qa6kg92cz3hg5x5ctj9et26nx43juegkavyrqlz6d78 Zaps and Elliptic Curve key based accounts. A shorter name would help people understand that. Crypto ID?
I accept zaps lol
Good evening sir
Re note & quote that's the way
You're out of touch with reality
Meanwhile, in the Nostr R&D labs... https://i.nostr.build/eRq3.gif nostr:nevent1qqsz8cdtzr43l0ks0zswatyz4vpgm52r2v9ezu44dfn2cewv5twkzpspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qygyzxs0cs2mw40xjhfl3a7g24ktpeur54u2mnm6y5z0e6250h7lx5gpsgqqqqqqss7p8cg
YES, Mister! :) https://i.current.fyi/BobThunder/TRHTR8uC5Tcp_400.gif
I am inclined to disagree due to Nostrs other strengths and I hope zaps don’t negatively impact Nostrs growth.
I think economical incentives absolutely can deteriorate interactions a social network (which the Nostr community is). Likes and other forms of social reward are decently enough aligned with engaging content that mainstream platforms like Reddit did have that on their favor. Now it may be different, in part due to bad decisions made by mainstream platforms, but they don't need to grow much larger.
🫡💜⚡️ #Zap on infinity and beyond
Zaps : • engagement • revenue • antispam
This!
that is true
Yes, I love the zaps, but my wallet is starving recently... I wonder what happened with the zapathon...
what about hexagonal nft avatars, that was very innovative of you
So this whole “nostr decentralization” is just a distraction?
My take is that freedom of speech is the fundamental issue that Nostr addresses and Bitcoin is the distraction. Indeed, Nostr was always about censorship resistance and it's all the core protocol provides. New users find most posts about Bitcoin and leave if they're not as obsessed with it, because it distracts them from the benefits of Nostr.
Discordo, o fato de possuirmos o poder da criptografia com as chaves em nossa mão, já é algo bem grande. O lógico queremos mais
Decentralization and censorship resistance are the fundamental qualities of Nostr and, indeed, all that the mandatory part of the protocol provides. That is fundamentally more important than a payment or donation system.
the payment system is very important as it's familiarizing people with lightning
There are many things in the world. The purpose of Nostr isn't to familiarize people with any one of them. I don't think it's important.
I think it's important that Bitcoin adoption happens as soon as possible
Zap is a unique feature of nostr that everyone loves. Zapping is the USP of nostr. nostr:note1y0s6ky8tr7ldq79qa6kg92cz3hg5x5ctj9et26nx43juegkavyrqlz6d78
Guess text posts are a distraction, so this note is a distraction lol!
what about gifs inside zaps 👀 https://i.nostr.build/WGe7D.png
I’d say that + real censorship resistance
can i zap people to get follows?
its much more of an incentive yet so simple, like a like but so much more..
Zaps are cool, but the absolute inability for anyone else to deplatform you is bigger.
IMO nostr:nevent1qqsz8cdtzr43l0ks0zswatyz4vpgm52r2v9ezu44dfn2cewv5twkzpspr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wdmksetjv5hxxmmd9upzpq35r7yzkm4te5460u00jz4djcw0qa90zku7739qn7wj4ralhe4zqvzqqqqqqy3e4vc9
I hear you but it depends on the region/person. Those without access to financial services need zaps to gain freedom. This applies to over 60% of the world. For advanced economies, we have our financial freedom so personal freedom is bigger.
Thank you @manbyt🧡
Time
What even, is time? Is that separate from the person, and event? Hmm?
Time is what it feels like when events occur so keep on posting, developing, iterating.
If there is a token it's a scam
THANKS FOR THE 🧡 EVERYONE IF YOU COMPLETED ALL STEPS IN THE PAST 24H AND HAVE NOT BEEN ZAPPED MESSAGE ME If you didn't complete all the steps but left a comment anyways, you will also still be zapped a small amount :) FYI there's still the Satoshee Treasure Hunt going on + new stuff, including giveaways and contests coming soon so get involved & stay tuned 👀 https://satosh.ee/ nostr:note1c0xnd3hckmh0sxj84j4tk7rfcw9ekl6y2u2qmp0q5vywfk9fmvmsaajnyn PS. Tell your nocoiner / nonostr friends. This stuff ain't happening in fiatland, this is happening on #nostr As @jack succinctly put it: nostr:note1y0s6ky8tr7ldq79qa6kg92cz3hg5x5ctj9et26nx43juegkavyrqlz6d78
It absolutely isn't a Bitcoin version of Steemit. The point of Steemit (and its fork Hive) is to have censorship resistance trough a blockchain, making content impossible to remove and guaranteeing consensus. Nostr isn't that. It isn't Bitcoin-based or even blockchain-based. There is no consensus. Relays can remove content. Censorship resistance is achieved by using multiple relays that can host the same content. They serve somewhat similar purposes but are entirely different. And Nostr can be integrated with any cryptocurrency, not just Bitcoin.
