[100k SAT BOUNTY] This is an experiment! I'm going to a hackathon this Saturday and I'd like to showcase to a new community the power of nostr and lightning zaps. I have 2 ideas that I would like to prototype (I'm currently vibe coding them but unlikely I'll have them totally ironed out before then). I will pay a bounty of100,000 sats each via zap (so a total of 200k sats up for grabs) for a live working web version + code/prompts for each of these ideas. I will choose the best project for each category at my discretion (and will only choose one if I think it's complete enough to showcase). I am (of course) also happy to list you on the team and give you credit for building. I just want to sweeten the pot and get this done BEFORE SATURDAY MORNING AT 9AM PT. Here's what I'd like to build: 1) Memstr A meme generator with nostr login and zaps. You include 5 or so popular meme templates (guy looking at girl, winnie the pooh, etc) and allow anyone to enter their own text. They're then able to share theire memes via popular nostr relays and other users are able to zap their favorite memes. A leaderboard shows the most popular memes by global zaps and by the zaps of your follows. (I'm also open to using other WoT calcs but I assume that's too complex.) You should be able to login via a browser extension like alby, paste a priv key, or spin up a new nostr identity. 2) Nostr Radio A clone of with nostr login, zaps, and a zap leaderboard. Allow anyone to login to the site via browser extension like alby, priv key, or spin up a new identity. Users can zap and share radio stations they like via popular nostr relays. Users can also zap their friends for sharing radio stations they like. There should be a leaderboard tab showing popular stations (global) and from the zaps of your friends. Again, I'm open to other WoT scores as well, but not necessary as that adds complexity. If you're interested in working on either of these, please feel free to reply to this note with questions (for whatever is not clear) or ideas. Again, I'll only choose at most one project for each bounty and only if it's fully functional and ready before Saturday at 9am PT. If nothing's ready by then or this proves to be too difficult, no sweat! Also, I'm trying to gauge how difficult/how much work this is for someone who knows what they're doing. If the pot is not rich enough, I'd like that feedback too. Thank you! I'd appreciate any help getting visibility for this experiment πŸ™ @metamick @🐈 @Alby @bumi @Roland @Moritz @RenΓ© Aaron @npub1kuy0...kdj8 @moneyball @miljan @Lyn Alden @vibegawd @danny d @Gigi @PABLOF7z @franzap @Stuart Bowman @elsat @AtlantisPleb @Jordi @brugeman @bob @gudnuf @miles 🌞 @Prashanth @plebdevs.com @CameriπŸ¦β€πŸ”₯

@Max just so you know there are bounties in the 6 - 7 digit range on damus that we’re not claimed in half a year or years. @lemon might be interested in the meme template product, as he built gifbuddy.lol
That's super helpful feedback - thanks! Were those projects more complex? I'm getting part way there myself with some simple vibe coding in replit but having trouble getting all the pieces to work smoothly (relay connection, etc). I was hoping that for someone deeper in vibe coding + nostr, this might be more trivial (at least for a prototype). But maybe it's not there yet, in which case knowing I need to up the bounty/give more time is super valuable feedback as well.
Totally fair. I'll be curious to see if folks like either of these ideas. Fwiw, I would use both commercially and think they have potential beyond just this initial prototype

--> @_ do you wanna check this out?
Thanks @elsat and @🐈 for adding me! @Max I made a tool called Meme Amigo awhile back, you can play with it here: - it's a meme generator - it has basically every template you can think of - you can create your own meme/gif collection with nostr extension login which has been integrated by ChaChi - you can upload your own gif or meme templates that are searchable via NIP94 and on site Instead of requiring users to log in and post memes directly on the app, I opted at the time to generate a URL for users to copy/paste in any client of their choosing because I'm not trying to compete with Primal or Damus (this still allows people to get zapped for their memes) Take a look and let me know what you think Here's an old demo, but the domain is different now: View quoted note β†’

I have a lot of ideas. I'd love to riff with you on them on these one on one. Nothings coming to mind rn but maybe if we have a conversation together, we'll get the creative juices going. -justin

Seems to be the ranking board holding the ideas together is that already developed?
This is cool @lemon ! It looks like it will generate the meme and host on nostr.build. Then you share it separately on nostr for zaps. Are you considering adding nostr login and a zap leaderboard as well?
I just vibe-coded TODOstr with 3 prompts and no code manually added or modified: Which however is not one of your ideas, but contains the main nostr + lightning requirement (sign and post notes using alby extension, ability to zap people's notes). (See my reasoning why I made a TODO app, mainly I was low on time and Memestr original request is a bit more complicated - mainly image generation and uploads, WoT) This prompt is quite a good base though and could be modified and expanded to actually implement one of your initial ideas. My workflow is committed, including my initial prompt idea, my refined prompt (much more detailed), and two follow-up prompts, and the entire AI conversation.
We have a winner! @lemon 's submission had almost all of the features I was looking for, including nostr login, ability to create memes, post them to relays, and a leaderboard. Obviously this is just a prototype, so some polish around login, zapping (e.g. on the leaderboard itself), and explanation of how the leaderboard works would be nice. I think this project has legs though and I hope @lemon (and others) continue to refine it! I'm also giving a runner up prize of 21k sats to @Roland - his todostr app has some of the elements I requested and hopefully could be repurposed to build out a variety of new apps like mine. I also appreciate his inclusion of the prompts and code he used. This was a fun experiment and I'd love to try again with larger prizes and more time. Perhaps we'll do that soon ;) @metamick My biggest hope is that this gets people thinking about what sort of fun new apps they can vibe code using the building blocks of global identity, a data commons, and permissionless (micro)payments.

Hi guysπŸ‘‹ Lightning Bounties guy here. Love what you're building and love the fact that you're using Bounties to get people involved :) 100% we wanna get more involved with Nostr. Like cross posting tweets from X to Nostr when a new bounty is available. I was recently looking for this tool, but I could only find nos.social which is a 1 way post from Nostr to X. We were looking for the opposite If you or anyone knows of such a tool, I'll zap ya like 1k sats for this feedback bounty :)
There is probably a greater concentration of LN devs on nostr. X API is effectively unworkable either due to closedness and/or cost. There are X mirror accounts via ActivityPub, which arrive to nostr on mostr bridge relay. For example @Wrath Of Gnon
