This did happen to me. It was a golden retriever that lived 10 happy years amongst us. I must confess, it took some time to get used to the house destruction tho. View quoted note →

Literally. Come join us, we have cake #pebchain #introduction View quoted note →

Good morning :) I can’t say I’m surprised. This is a cool place to hang around.

Relevant conversation, and important question, but let me take a tangent here and argue that most of us don’t have to become “content creators” to enjoy the spoils of this platform. Thanks to zaps I can see a revenue stream assigned by the community to those that add some sort of value to other people, regardless of its content. For instance, I received zaps on a post where I shared a 24km run. Why? Perhaps for simple empathetic celebratory reasons. Someone felt compelled to reward my enthusiasm, which is great. Conversely I’ve sent zaps to all sorts of posts from people I’m sure don’t see themselves as content creators as well. Thus, yes. There is a valid discussion to be had on the incentives to attract quality content to #nostr, but even if the rewards pale in relation to other sources, we still have the community encouraging other people to hang around and exchange.

Good morning everyone. Here’s to a great weekend. #ProofOfWork #plebchain

I see #zaps, #zaps everywhere 🤪 - joke aside, it’s impossible for me now to open Strava, Github, or any other content platform and not trigger this “will to zap”.

Newby question: Does anyone know what are those invoices that keeps popping on my Blue Wallet? Could it be from private relays I’m trying to connect? If so, how can I identify which one and make sure I’m fine by them. #zaps #pebschain

Funny :) someone even called it iZaps which is both hilarious and tragic. View quoted note →

It has nothing to do with the tech and everything to do about doctrine, but I feel slightly embarrassed to receive #zaps, even, and specially when, I gladly send them on similar content. Still, what better incentive for people like me? Zap cuts through social appearances and goes straight to the real value of one’s collaboration. Something tells me it will grow exponentially and become the main incentive for people to use #nostr as their main platform.

How’s everyone doing? Yesterday I saw many posts about the ups and downs of the market, which are immediately translated as the boom or burst of #bitcoin. Nothing new, expect for one change: Since joining #nostr, reading about the platform and dabbling with #zaps, I’m much more optimistic for its utility. I can see a bright future regardless of the speculative aspect of coins. Decentralization of data and freedom to exchange values and reward the community are just two of many other paradigms that this platform is being built upon. Very exciting moment indeed. #grownostr

Much appreciated :) It’s nice to live in the future. View quoted note →

Ok, it took some time, different provides and sending copies of my driver’s license, but I finally managed to send my first #zap :) It’s easy to tell we are just in the beginning. #grownostr

Apart from nostr.com and #[0]​ great post about relay setup, any other recommendations to learn more about #nostr? re: data, economics, papers, people to follow, how to collaborate, etc… #grownostr
