🤣🤣🤣

They’re just jealous 😎

Several people have recommended that one. I haven’t tried it yet.

Day 11 update testing a Monero payment target on my profile, comparing bitcoin zaps and Monero xaps. Shout out to for his “skew the curve” 10K sat zap. 🤣 Day 11 totals: - 14792 sats, ($11.27, 15 zaps) - 0 XMR Running totals: - 45186 sats ($34.44) - Avg. zap: 202 sats (15¢) - 0.1835652 XMR ($92.51) - Avg. xap: 0.0122 XMR ($6.14) I’ll post these daily updates for a couple more days, but I can already see that the Monero payment target is going to stay 🚀

But it isn’t. It’s just a simple algo that ranks recent events by engagement. That engagement can be manipulated/manufactured by people who want to make their own notes trend, but that isn’t the same as what you’re suggesting. And it also still isn’t the same thing as being an ad-driven platform/algo.

Did they bring back bitcoin boosts/offers? 👀 I haven’t seen those in forever

Primal doesn’t support payment targets. A lot of clients don’t. Hopefully more start to add support.

Nostr is good for a lot of things, but my FAVORITE thing that it’s great for is giving creators freedom to express themselves, AND giving people freedom to connect and engage with creators and content free from ad-driven algos and censorship.

Cashapp is now paying bitcoin “bonuses” if you hold a Bitcoin balance with them. I have about $10 worth of bitcoin on there and they’re going to give me 6 whole bitcoins as a bonus! 😂 But seriously, if they’re not lending it out as they claim, where does the yield come from? 🤔

If I could do fiat on here without doxxing myself, I would.

Day 10 update with a Monero payment target on my profile to compare zaps and xaps. A couple of observations at the end of this post. - 908 sats, (70¢, 16 zaps) - 0.025 XMR, ($12.92, 1 xap) Running totals: - 30394 sats ($23.37) - Avg. zap: 130 sats (10¢) - 0.1835652 XMR ($94.87) - Avg. xap: 0.0122 XMR ($6.30) It’s interesting watching the disparity between the totals grow as each day goes by. Zap frequency is higher, but the total and average amounts for Monero xaps are just blowing bitcoin zaps out of the water so far. Even more “interesting”, you could say, has been watching the negative reactions from a handful of people on here. They’ve gotten a few reactions back out of me over the last couple days, but moving forward I’m going to refocus my attention and energy. I’m not going to waste my time trying to manage their jealousy. Instead I intend to focus my energy on the people who are actually here to see Nostr become a better place for content and for creators. My gratitude goes out to each person who engages with and zaps/xaps the content you enjoy and the people you want to show support for. You are helping Nostr become a home for creators who want to express themselves free from the control of centralized ad-supported platforms.

This is how some people reply to me on here. I’ve begun immediately just muting and joking that they need to pay an invoice if they want to be unmuted. Not because I think anyone would be stupid enough to pay it, but because I want to make it clear to these kinds of people that I know what my time and attention is worth to me, and I’m not going to waste it on some stuck up, snobby, pseudo-intellectual bitcoiner elitist.

Doesn’t hurt me. It just wastes my time reading because it’s the same nonsense the Primal haters repeat over and over and over. Pointless to rehash any of it and they just get emotional and insulting about it instead of having a discussion.
