Your Nostr reach is directly proportional to how much you invest on your Outbox relays. Make sure your Public Outbox/Home relays are fast. If you are using a relay that takes its time to update its cache and your post takes a couple minutes to show up, most people will not see it. They have moved on to more recent posts. They will need to scroll back in time to find your post.
Alright, Nostr fam, what's a "Zap"? Are we just slapping the word on any digital tip jar, or are we sticking to a core value? Because frankly, if I wanted vague financial gestures, I'd use Venmo. Words are important. And our users need definitions. Here are some options: - 1: The "Participation Trophy" definition: Oh, you sent value, any value as a reaction to a post? That's a Zap! Doesn't matter if it's sats, seashells, or your grandma's IOU. You can "Zap" anything, through any means: on-chain, lightning, cashu, whatever. It only has to transfer value. Pros: Everyone gets a gold star! (Even if they don't deserve it.) Cons: Turns "Zap" into meaningless digital confetti. (Isn't confetti fun?) - 2: The "Bitcoin Or Bust" definition: It's gotta be Bitcoin! It can use any chain, any L2, lightning, cashu and even BTC bank accounts, either custodial or self-custody. The method is irrelevant as long as it is valued in BTC. Pros: Bitcoin-centric Cons: Custodial shenanigans. - 3: The "Any Lightning" definition: If it didn't come through the Lightning Network, it's not a Zap. Period. However, Taproot assets count as lightning. So, It can be any token. Pros: No other L2 shenanigans Cons: Cashu is out.

If you're not doing it this way, you're doing it wrong." Pros: Clarity. Precision. Dictatorship. Cons: Still hurting nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgkwaehxw309a5xjum59ehx7um5wghxcctwvshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qrxnfk -- So, which is it? Are we watering down "Zap" until it's just another internet high-five, or are we maintaining some semblance of integrity? How would you define the boundaries of what a zap is and isn't? Should a cashu zap count as a zap? Or should we name it something else?
