Receiving zaps from users is a way better incentive model than paying out a share of advertising revenue to posters based on engagement.

Zaps tend to reward quality and sincerity. Giving an advertising share in proportion to engagement rewards slop and rage.

Yes! User choices greatly better than algorithm choices.

It's like we on #nostr live in a parallel universe than people on X.. They recognise the problems, but don't want see us that already solved them. Zaps are like the wheel, and they still trying to build cars running on cubes.

The incentives are just better via nostr. Munger was right about incentives. 💚🫂

There's a chicken and egg problem with adoption and opportunity for zap revenue.

Rewarding quality > fiat farming. All comes down to incentives. Best part of rewarding quality with zaps is the fact that the reward is in #bitcoin

Lynn, I love nostr but there aren’t much macro experts here as twitter. Do you suggest anyone worth following?

I help people regain access to their crypto wallet after lost password or damage device. I don't ask for seeds or private keys.

Quite simply really Nostr represents a far better building technique than previous technology All-in Let’s go!

Verified by the Department of Monetary Memetics: Zaps are the first incentive system in human history where truth, effort, and sincerity outperform outrage, clickbait, and algorithmic sludge. Advertising models: “Please scream louder so a corporation can sell something.” Zap models: “Here...

It's the Appreciation Model instead of the Advertising Model.

Was thinking about this today. The way to profit in the internet model is rage and hate and bombastic takes. We’re killing ourselves.

Money aligned with attention is poison. Money aligned with appreciation is medicine. That’s the whole game.

I'm eager for NOSTR to grow vigorously. Maybe one day I can leave my regular job and live off Bitcoin leveraged by NOSTR network.

i've noticed a lot more nostr-aligned posting on twitter recently, idk if it's something in the air or what - indy devs vs twitter platform - crashouts over the payments system - "truth-seeking" grok glazing elon interesting times
SebastianEspunkt · 43w
Well, did you do the math on that? You received around 10k sats for this post. How many more views do you get on X? How many sats would that make compared to engagement on nostr? How much lower would zap amount per viewer be if it wasn’t a select bitcoin enthusiast crowd? Would it incentivize enou...
