What do you think of the idea of zap faucet for newcomers who fill out their profile / connect a wallet and or complete some other task - just so they have some sats to play with?
Or could we add an intro flow to post about yourself and anyone reading those can just zap voluntarily?

The second option seems to me to be a very good idea
That's what some of the hashtags are for, are they not? #nostrWelcome #introductions #plebchain
Love this!
Zaps should be given voluntarily and directly imho. Faucets will always be gamed and drained. Always have been.
Yeah that’s what I’m asking. Is this enough? We just work that into onboarding and encourage people to introduce themselves?
Like the faucet idea but better is person to person…we just need hashtag and then can follow along:
#helloworld
then ⚡️
That’s what I suspected but wanted to see what people thought.
People expecting free sats just because they are new goes fundamentally against the value-4-value idea.
Also what would stop me from farming new Nostr npubs and lightning addresses just to gain sats?
my idea is (sorry for this) http://illost.noster.x10.bz/
In the first option where do the initial sats come from? I'd go for the second option. Include a set up LN adress. And if the zapping of newcomers doesn't work of die down we can always consider the first option. 💜
A gamified faucet? New plebs get “rewarded” for onboarding properly. With Mimi bounties at each step. The faucet is paid by advertisers (advertiser has to be active on Nostr). You create an onboarding client with dual purpose, onboard plebs and attract advertisers.
Now, let me switch my brain on and have some coffee.
я создам 20000000000000000 ботов и соберу все твои сатоши)))) готов мне их подарить???
Биткоин это фильтр... оставь это для них...
I would love something like a zap faucet. I have set up Damus and a Lightning address, and I don't know if it works or not, so I'd make use of something like that
That sounds like a great idea and would have helped me get to know the LN features earlier.
The faucet demonstrates the role of kindness and motivation, and I'll zap sats to those interesting people, kind people, builders, and those who broaden our horizons.
Good morning fren ☀️☕️🫂💜
Howdy 👋
I'd say yes, that should be enough.
Yes to second option. getcurrent were doing that w/ some hashtag IIRC
Oh I didn’t know!
You will end up with a bunch of ghost account nobody will use afterward. It is better to make it with some sort fo a task or smth like that.
They presented that on Nostrica, ran on stage through their onboarding and after new user sent a note w/ hashtag plebhy it got zapped, the idea was 'shortest time to zap'. They have auto-faucet I guess, but crowd-sourced is better IMO
Good point!
Wow nice! I must have missed that.
We have a draft first post with #introductions tag in #damus pipeline for #onboarding
🔥 🔥
What else do you think would help with improving #onboarding and therefore retention #[3] #[2] ?
Figma by @HoloKat tells everything, I think. The biggest issue I see is landing on a feed which is either empty or completely irrelevant. A set of topical feeds to choose from would probably help very much. Right now in app store version of Damus I land on Will's notes, which is quite weird.
