So the other day, nostr:npub1zfs0all2dz43da3gh5ghm53jjaufkqlyvsxydpz73r00hzd2hdaqt3vd2n promised 10k sat zaps to all that boost his job offer:
nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqynqlml7569tzmmz30g30hfr99mcnvp...
I don't personally believe I owe an explanation, as can be seen I paid out some ~400k sats.
But I will echo the point that NOSTR is not consistent. Even in the screenshot you provided of the tool, I know I paid out people that don't show up as paid.
@🟠isolabellart was paid I'm sure, @rabble surely was paid.
The problem I encountered is I lost track of who was paid and who wasn't. I am even sure I double paid somebody.
Each time I took a break, reloaded the pages, switched client, I was asking myself who I paid already. The lists keep reshuffling, accounts came and went from the lists and in the end I was using my own spreadsheet to track.
Honestly, the truth of it is that I got fed up and did not have the time to do the manual labour required to check if all accounts were real, already paid and logging in my personal sheet. Clients load too slowly for me, creating a lot of dead time waiting for loading each user profile before I can even begin my checks.
The way I move forward now, is just to accept that it could have been handled better, so for future zapvertisements I will change my approach.
Setting a total sat limit, asking for a reply to the thread, and setting an end date in the OP would be changes I would make next time.
Up to you if you see me as "scamming". I find it a rather large stretch though, I don't know many scammers parting with 400k sats..
Further, most of my DM's to potential candidates seem to have been lost. So after all this, I am left feeling NOSTR could really do with more user experience consistency somehow.
