Nostr needs MORE economic activity. Yes, this includes digital media and content creation. And yes, this includes monetizing it. And no, 1-sat zaps arenβt going to cut it. ππ€·ββοΈ

Too much emphasis on NOSTR zapping leads to the cultural dead end of Steemit.
It is usually apparent when someone posts purely with zaps in mind. If Iβm feeling generous Iβll educate but mostly itβs an insta-block.
Absolutely
Nostrβs real potential will only unlock when thereβs meaningful economic activity flowing through it. Content creation, digital media, and all forms of value exchange need proper monetization. Micro-payments shouldnβt just be novelty zaps, they need to stack sats, incentivize creators, and build a sustainable on-chain economy. Thatβs how the network evolves from a social layer into a true financial layer .
Yes maybe the implemention of groups of funding for artists and media creator?
I need to zap more. When I zap, I zap above average, but when I'm busy, I get too lazy to zap.
I guess if they find a way to stream 1 sat zaps continuously all day. RIP ln fees π
π€£π€£ From a purely economic standpoint, theyβre only viable within an app/platform where everyone is using the same custodial wallet.
The way itβs going, weβre getting ads when we scale. Either for everyone or 2 tiers: βfreeβ with ads and membership without. 1000%

And just like that, the βno adsβ value proposition is gone


Hey but at least we can keep zapping 1 sat at a time right?
π€£π€£
Not enough people for v4v to work, and the people that are here, most are too cheap/donβt see the value in whatβs offered for it to work
Theyβre commies. V4V works. Just not enough people here yet for it to really scale.
Commies everywhere. Weβre surrounded. Dirty little commies everywhere π€£

Dude theyre everywhere π€£π€£π€£
Disgusting. Iβm sure they love it in a non ironic way when I use Stalin gifs ironically


if you run a node, zapping one sat is an insult to yourself.. commenting tho, with your soverign npub, priceless π³
Wisdom
If I still ran my own routing node, Iβd run a second one so I could route my zaps to myself and charge a 21-sat base fee to all these 1-sat-zapping mfβers π
ditch primal premium, fire up that node again.. #winning son?

I believe you have a to be a premium subscriber to use that relay. It works fine for me on both Nostur and Primal.
yah, I know, i can read ur elite notes from there just like i can.. any other of the 19 relays π
jus sayin
19 is too few. My notes need to be on 10,000 relays and then 10,000 more.
clearly 19 is enough cause 25$<mo would be 18. π good tho good.. did they give u a gif btn?
ππ€£π
They are! I really donβt understand it. π€·π»ββοΈπ€’
They still think Twitter was free. Basically their time and attention to ads is worthless. Or just hypocrisy because theyβre cheap. Maybe a bit of both
