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.


Time


What even, is time? Is that separate from the person, and event? Hmm?


If there is a token it's a scam


Fair enough, you have anything to backup the 'no exceptions' stance?


Owning our identity that we can take with us but ok


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.


Punto

You can't have zaps on a centralized platform as it would be targeted as middleman.

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.


Time is what it feels like when events occur so keep on posting, developing, iterating.


1 #zap = 1 smile 😀


New here!! How this zaps works?! Likes that are Sats?!


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.


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.


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?

ye I much prefer zapping 69 sats over likes. Feels more powerful 😮💨

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


Let’s try taking a poll on this.
What’s the bigger innovation, Censorship Resistance or Zapping Lightning Payments on notes?

Censorship Resistance

Zapping Lightning Payments

Well, yeah.

Wen dating apps have zaps?

Zaps and Elliptic Curve key based accounts. A shorter name would help people understand that. Crypto ID?

Decentralized In Name Only

aka scam


I am inclined to disagree due to Nostrs other strengths and I hope zaps don’t negatively impact Nostrs growth.

Thanks Jack 💜

#Zap on infinity and beyond


So which … oh 🤣🤣🤣


Hi all, how one can start? Any safe instruction to set it up?


You made the zaps ⚡ for

Really?

Did we uncensor … we did

👀♾🌈


Zaps :
• engagement
• revenue
• antispam


This!


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/

:Heart:


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


Stay humble, stack zaps


respect.


So this whole “nostr decentralization” is just a distraction?


🔥🤓 #plebchain #grownostr


Onward 🫡


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.


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.


Spammers can pay.
Spammers are willing to pay money. They do so often.

They probably don't yet pay to spam on Nostr because it's like spamming to a clear wall.


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.


Exactly.
Nostr provides a lot whether one wishes to use Bitcoin/zaps or not.


Freedom of speech is the true feature of Nostr.
One doesn't have to use Bitcoin to enjoy freedom on Nostr.


Nostr isn't even about Bitcoin.
And the Nostr community is a group of people interacting with each other in a shared ecosystem. Also known as a "social network".


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.


Freedom of speech is what truly matters and all that Nostr provides.


That was an ancient history note. forgot it even existed. LOL  Of course nostr is not the same.


Zaps represent the only fundamentally new innovation in social media.

Everything else is a distraction.


Zap is a unique feature of nostr that everyone loves.

Zapping is the USP of nostr.

Agreed!🫡


I say it’s been enough time come on bro let’s do this

🤣🤣🤣


Guess text posts are a distraction, so this note is a distraction lol!


what about gifs inside zaps 👀 https://i.nostr.build/WGe7D.png


:catcat:


I’d say that + real censorship resistance


Onward 🫡


But how do I win them?


I see what you’re doing 😉


can i zap people to get follows?


i'll zap you if you follow me :)


the payment system is very important as it's familiarizing people with lightning


This is the future!
This is freedom!
💪🏾🤘🏾😎⚡


Why #Bluesky then?


Great post 👍


What about the decentralization…. 👀


Hey brother totally agree. Zaps zap the banks out of pic eventually.  What are you thoughts on counterparty / XCP?


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?


P.S. I have the solution. #Bitcoin AGI
I presented it in my last application to open-sats
did you read it?


well-being ECONOMY


its much more of an incentive yet so simple, like a like but so much more..


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


Many things are important, it doesn't mean everything has to be about it.


Following


Zaps are cool, but the absolute inability for anyone else to deplatform you is bigger.


stay humble stack sats

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  nostr:npub16zj60l5q6fcq5dv36mpvtnfzt6lfznahht3qkg4l5vca89n0x8wsqzz8my🧡


I believe the true innovation of Nostr lies in its decentralized nature, with no central point of failure. Zaps are just the icing on the cake.
