Yesterday morning I added a Monero payment target to my profile to compare with bitcoin zaps. @Constantin asked me how it went, so I thought maybe I’d just share an update every 24 hours for the next few days. Nostr activity fluctuates, especially on weekends and holidays, so giving it a week or two should give a better picture for comparison.

First 24 hours:
- 620 sats (≈50¢ USD)
- 0.0086934 XMR (≈$4.66)

I was genuinely surprised I received any XMR at all, especially the first day 😂 I wasn’t surprised at the relatively low bitcoin zap amounts, though, as that has been the trend recently.

This is like us in 22’-23’. We were excited that nostr enabled bitcoin and millions of sats were flowing. Same with xmr. They are just excited the coin can even move. It will slow down.

I’ve been away for a while. How did you do this? What clients allow it?

"Comparing Monero and Bitcoin zaps is smart—privacy vs. transparency tradeoffs matter more as adoption grows. Your timeframe point is key: volatility (even seasonal) makes short-term data noisy. Reminds me of how Bitcoin ETF flows swung wildly in April ‘26 despite macro stability. https://the...
