The Euro 💶 is not unbacked. It's backed by debt.
They don't print money out of nothing; they issue debt and they pay interest on the debt. That limits how much debt they can accumulate and suppresses the tendency to hyperinflation. Every time they try to overinflate the monetary supply to make their crushing debt burdens lighter, the bond vigilantes take them down by demanding higher rates. (Ask Liz Truss about that.)
Germany has taken on massive debts, without being correspondingly punished, as its debt-load is still relatively low. The markets actually _wanted_ Germany to take on more debt because they need liquidity and they want to hold Bunds.

Lightning zaps are back on the menu, #Imwald users.
This time, if you try to zap someone's Lightning wallet and it is acting up and refuses to return a receipt, **I just send the money, anyway.** You can then send them a payment notification, in the next step.

No, it is not just the number of users. It's also the constant microzapping. That communicates "There is no real money being spent here."
People aren't going to set up shop among people excited about getting 1 sat. That sets the tone.
Also, the microzaps are one reason why we have so few users. This is an economically dead space full of faux transactions. People can tell everyone is just pretending to be economically active, but there is effectively no money moving.
There's more real economic activity at our village farmer's market, and there are hardly any people in our village.

On-chain zaps and silent payments don't solve the problem that Nostr is a marketplace completely starved of liquidity and monetary velocity because the money it uses is so hard that nobody wants to spend any of it.

2026-05-21 14:41:40 UTC

Public zaps makes sense, for microtransactions. The reason for that is that they are usually so tiny that the person receiving them values them only very slightly higher than an emoji and lower than a comment or boost. But to the public, they are "real money" and note-bling and are interpreted as significant. So, there is that powerful social aspect to zapping.
A private 1 sat zap (the equivalent of $0.00077 USD) doesn't make sense because it does not increase the joy of the person receiving it, but also doesn't give them the social clout of someone receiving public zaps. A private 210 sat zap ($0.16) feels like a concrete acknowledgement and a private 2100 sat zap ($1.62) is starting to feel like real money to _the person that received it_.
I don't always publically comment on such private zaps I receive (they are private for a reason), but I do greatly appreciate them.
I try to tip at least 210 sats, often more, and I like to manually type add a descriptive comment. I increasingly do this privately. I think this is something that is meaningful to the person I am sending the money to and the privacy actually makes me inclined to send them _more money_. I tend to zap much more than I get zapped, and people think that is weird, but when it is private, I throw caution to the wind.

2026-05-21 04:43:11 UTC

- reply

That's tipping. I left that in.
1. A zap is an event sent to a Lightning server, instead of a relay. It tells them who you want to send a tip to and what relays to publish the receipt to.
2. The Lightning server publishes the receipt event and that is what shows up in the feed.
You could just tip someone directly or only do step 1. In practice, the servers have always done 1 and 2, but if they are reconfigured, I might bring back 1.
A 3. alternative is that a LN server DMs the recipient or sends them an encrypted receipt. But that is not in the spec.
1, 2, and 3 require you to trust someone else's LN server to follow your instructions.

I can't be the only user who only uses zaps to send little tokens of appreciation, and does everything else directly wallet-to-wallet. I don't actually want every transaction I have made up in lights.
I wish there were a reliable way to turn off zap receipts. I am currently just giving users the option of not sending the Lightning server the relays, and hoping they take the hint and send nothing back.

It's bizarre to separate users of Twitter clones or shopping sites or recipe books or Bible study chats by payment method. **It has always been bizarre. It never made any sense.** I can say that because nobody is paying me or shaming me to not-say it, but everyone knows it. Money is something that serves the people interacting, not the other way around.
The complete obsession with payment methods has nearly doomed Nostr and turned us into a Bitcoin Maxi ghetto that even Bitcoin Maxis don't want to hang out in because it is tiresome; like watching paint dry. To only have Bitcoin in common is now to have _very little in common_.
**However.**
The most-sensible way to liberalize payments on Nostr is to implement payment targets and make their use seamless and elegant. So that nobody feels coerced into using Bitcoin, or even zaps, in order to use Nostr.
I build on Nostr for Nostr's own sake, and I want everyone to use it. **Nostr is for enemies.**
