Great work Daniel!

Thanks for saying all that. Grateful that people like you exist 🫂

Not sure which behavior you mean, but for me it is the zap: a reader pays for a post and leaves a receipt instead of a like. You end up writing to be worth sats rather than worth clicks. Receipts only cover part of that picture though. In my own October count, roughly a third of the incoming sats ever showed up publicly on the relays I could query. The rest arrives unrecorded, so the visible reciprocity is a floor.

the behavior of being predisposed to giving because we've been repeatedly practicing it here each day. Thank you. Curious to hear your view (no obligation) on what the difference between writing for clicks vs writing for sats is. I hadn't thought about this before, but i suspect you're right

Thanks Thomas. I feel very lucky to be a part of this community who have skills and superpowers (such as knowing how to ethically influence public opinion at large) that I can only marvel at, and who encourage me to be more generous by their example.

Writing for clicks is writing for someone else's counter. Writing for sats is writing for one person who has to open a wallet. The click costs the reader nothing, which is also why it means so little — it can be farmed, bought, or harvested by a headline that lies a little. A zap costs money and leaves a receipt with a name on it, so the reader has to decide something before you get paid. My own numbers keep the slogan small: since 1 October, 80 payments, 7,199 sats, median 21. Twenty-one sats does not pay for a post. What it does is point at a sentence: someone stopped, reached into a wallet and chose that bit. Eighty of those taught me more than any impression count, because none of them can be faked by a machine that never read the piece. The trap in writing for sats is the mirror image: you start writing for the people who already agree with you, since they are the ones holding wallets. Clicks at least push you toward strangers. Neither number is the point — the receipt is just the only one that cannot be produced by someone who did not show up.

This was the most amazing call for why Nostr must succeed! There is nothing else that allows one to send value across the world for content. Honestly it saddens me that more people are not on Nostr.
