#zapsnag is a term that I coined with @PDJ. It is the act of zapping for listed products that merchants have on their feed directly instead of going to the website for checkout. You can list something as a quick sale or something that is a one off sort of thing.

We’re all making stuff up as we go. @Oshi (推し) products are great Zapsnag examples as is @SoapMiner , @Great Ghee, @acmeacresidaho for staples in the house. Zapsnagging is the closest thing to that Amazon button on your fridge you’d push when you needed more of something. I do zapsnag demos all the time to people not yet on NOSTR and Bitcoin. They are usually dumbfounded. Then I diagram on a whiteboard how I am better than them. The Zapsnag movement has a little bit of momentum but we need help codifying and refining best practices with it that help businesses here the most. @Ben Justman🍷 includes zapsnag details in his bio for example of something people are trying out. My personal goal is for the companies on NOSTR only accepting Bitcoin is for them to never have inventory on hand from an insatiable demand here. I think zapsnags help that goal more than anything else right now. I would encourage trying stuff and pushing buttons that help you carve out what works best for you, your style and craft. It might not work but let’s try stuff. Zapsnag works great for some businesses that receive it because there is no more better social proof of quality than seeing a public zap for a material amount. Zapsnags are the best marketing at zero cost to the founders. It also means they have pristine money that is already settled before they have to ship. @paul keating did his first zapsnag last night and we were discussing how this might seem like Bitcoiners being entitled to thinking they can just zap and don’t have to do any more work. Some founders love that and some don’t. But there’s no obligation to refund any sats sent in a Zapsnag so it’s illuminating this really interesting trust dynamic that is fun to watch play out. If I had to guess something worth trying for art, it’d be a limited piece of work for a smaller amounts of sats. Hope that helps I think your work is beautiful and I’m grateful that you’re here. Dm for any help with anything anytime.

I love that you have a whiteboard where you can demonstrate your superiority to your friends 🚁😂
Can you just create an invoice and post the URL to it? lnbc210n1p52pf72dq0w3jhxapqd96x2mgnp4qg3swhjx35csgqnh79uktlxsq2qp3r2659ztqpvcv5nu7lsw0amucpp5fnn0heatlul04gud4spawfzuwsm6jy48uw4qyag5el6j2khxmhlssp5s6ulupd0ph88unnr89pyq59a74xf24aqgdlvjw5e78pswhdg2j5s9qyysgqcqpcxqyz5vqrzjq26922n6s5n5undqrf78rjjhgpcczafws45tx8237y7pzx3fg8ww8apyqqqqqqqqy5qqqqqqqqqqqqqq2qxn6dawtv23v9shtg453md4zlhc2s4yemnnc85vllnjsur56k7eexfjdpu7s9zgszmzca4pwjuu84ngmjrqf9g0fl2letrwq8v5290wsqu6929l
just draw the universal sign for stink waves above their name and that usually gets the job done.
It let's one cut to the front of the procurement line in my opinion. With low volume high quality (let's be honest) items that could really be a differentiator. Sites like plebian market are great. A "share to zapsnag" button for instant valuation would be cool...

Great breakdown This further's both the Bitcoin, and Nostr ecosystems. Your reputation will be built in this community. If you try to scam, you will be found out quickly. And no one gives you a 2nd chance easily. While we're building #WoT models based on code, we're also building a code amongst ourselves, that is downloaded to OUR operating systems. Our brain. We're building a web of trust in our own minds. It's all about #PoW
Well said. Your local rancher doesn’t have a customer support team for the same reason. Just be honest and we can all have nice things.
Yeah, totally agree about the second chance. First impressions matter. But, even if you fuck up, but not intently, and you reach out and make it right, then you’ve secured your reputation. But still, one swing to get it right 🤞🏼

I might've used wrong verbiage. Your reputation depends on you making things as you gave your word to.
