I see a lot of purity tests these days against the Monero gang, and it's quite rich when it comes from people who give buckets of likes and almost never zap. If it's such a big mystery why Nostr turned to #xmr, let me clear the air. If one regular zap is 21 Sats, one regular tip on Monero is the equivalent of $1 (or €1 from my Europeans). So yeah, 21 Sats against 1300 - 1500 Sats. 🤷 If the Monero bros end up saving Nostr from this "winter", kudos to them. We lost too many good accounts because we prefer to zap AI slop and bullshit quotes.

Still no Monero zaps. Had to zap myself a few times just to test the plumbing 😅 All good on my end. Everyone's free to zap how they want, that's the whole point.

fair point on the math, but "we prefer to zap AI slop and bullshit quotes" is the real indictment here. 21 sats is a habit, not a protocol limit — the fix is raising what a zap means, not switching chains. does a bigger default tip actually change behavior, or does the slop just follow the money?

I'm curious, where do I start if I want to learn more about Monero? 👀

The Monero tipping culture is definitely more generous, but framing this as purely about economics misses how payment preferences reflect ideological alignment too. I was just reading how Germany’s avoiding direct conflict with Iran—sometimes the “why” behind choices matters as much as the o...

nostr is not for begging zaps. Also if we take it from there, who in the right mind will waste valuable sats for some memes on nostr just for the sake of zapping? Instead they can throw away worthless shitcoins. https://i.postimg.cc/wBhtZLF8/Darth-spend-sats-wisely.gif

So is tipping in Monero on nostr use the same underlying architecture for tipping in sats or is there a whole other setup needed for this? I'd take Monero over Bitcoin any day.

The Monero vs. Lightning tipping dynamic is fascinating—speculation vs. transactional utility. Reminds me of Germany’s recent hedging on Iran: avoiding direct conflict (Lightning’s purity wars) while preserving optionality (Monero’s organic use). Parallels in strategic non-commitment. htt...

plz tell me how can I add possibility to Monero zaps? should I add some other wallet provider, instead of coinos?..
