ZapBTC! Zapping yourself is why we need to use zap deposits to indicate content relevance instead of simple zap transfers 🤔

If you instead use bitcoin deposits attached to a post or account to distinguish it from spam the only "centralization" is the market discovery of the content relevance. Depositing bitcoin to a post will get more eyes and zaps, somewhat like yield. Depositing more than the actual relevance of the content indicates diminishes yield. ZapBTC

#Zaps are a voluntary expression of value received. Why not build an algorithm on maximizing perceived user value, rather than ad impressions?

Most-zapped since last read 👀 So if you saw a post with lots of zaps and then on the next day it doubled in zaps, show it again so I can see what's trending.

Yes, but what if zaps were provable deposits instead of payment records? 21M limited supply of btc deposits means they are a real and verifiable sign of value. You can use ecash to do this!

The graph is one thing but most-zapped is the other thing! Zaps are an under-appreciated tool.

Besides censorship resistance the clear davantage of nostr are #zaps, and they are underutilized. Some version of zaps are going to be the real global town square for the competition of ideas.

Is there any lightning standard to allow for zap-like tipping in video games? Basically a nano-transaction every time you use a premium feature, without having to take out your wallet. I understand that the game could have an integrated lightning wallet with a balance, but is it possible without?

#zaps should serve as recommendation algorithm, but for this self-tipping needs to be prevented. Use ZAP deposits instead!

When I look at the global nostr feed I don't see much #Bitcoin 👀 Maybe there are other interest groups here and the interaction is just very limited because we don't use recommendation algorithms and instead rely on follows

I am wondering if this is because interactions are more locally constrained, i.e. stronger echo chambers 👀

A future evolution of #zaps will definitely serve to construct maps of relevance for the internet! The problem currently is that you can zap your own posts and loop funds between two wallets to boost your score indefinitely. Working on a proposal!

Maybe it depends on if you think new novels are just remixes of old novels, or if authors carry a divine spark that allows for truly new ideas. Where do truly new ideas come from? This process might not be achievable in AI within a decade.

Closed source relevance ranking for all content on the internet, whether it is social media feeds or search engine results. How do we make an open source map of relevance for the internet? Nostr zaps are a start, but not sufficient.

It's 99% pro nature and anti civilization, although it does leave the 1% of the other perspective in (e.g. that 1 minute of an actually dangerous animal), unlike Star Wars episode 8, which goes all the way woke.

What is money? I do some work for you, and you give me a proof-of-work receipt in return. In can then redeem this proof-of-work at a later time so you do some work for me. What is power? I display my wealth as a proof-of-stake to get you to do work for me. You get nothing. #bitcoin
