Example Breakdown of Zaps

100 sat zaps before: 90 sats to receiver (10% sybil fee) + 5 sats (50% territory revenue) + 5 sats (50% rewards)

100 sat zaps now: 70 sats to receiver (30% sybil fee) + 21 sats (70% territory revenue) + 9 sats (30% rewards)

Getting zapped is nerfed, while rewards are powered up.

I'm excited to see how it plays out. That 30% cut is probably going to make it so we stop using zaps for our various pools, which is a little disappointing.

We'd need a zap that doesn't affect ranking so people can pay each other with zaps as if you would when using their lightning address.

reply

A zap button on our profile solves that.

Maybe we need to overhaul the lightning address button in every profile. It currently only shows a QR code on press so you can pay using LNURL. It should give more options.

reply

Having more options in that button will be cool:

  • copy address
  • copy LNurl
  • zap ⚡️
  • QR code
  • what else?
reply
  • send a message using the lightning address

Yessss… DM on SN need a pump up too! A way to make it easier and more intuitive to send messages over lightning

reply

we might have proper E2EE DMs this year

Yes. I think that's important.

reply

Yes, that's a valid point. Maybe the president doesn't like pools.

reply

Yeah, for the survivor pools and such that's gonna be interesting. I've added 2k to 5k sats to pools I don't even particularly take part of. What's a work around do you think for the pools and such, which I think are one of the aspects of the community I enjoy the most!

reply

We'll just have to do lightning invoices and then trust whoever's running the pool to do the accounting honestly.

reply

I agree but also hate that "trust" haha. The NFL Survivor pool is like 350k sats.

reply

We can start using ecash for these pools, so at least the rug pull will be indiscriminate đź‘€

reply

Either way we're trusting the person to actually pay out. The only real difference would be a lack of transparency about how large the pool is.

reply

True true. I suppose I had wishful thinking, but I also trust GrayRuby as he has incentives by owning the sports territory. Uneducated question, would DLCs or Cashu/Fedi mints be a solution in the future for something like a trust less pool? I'm not too familiar with either however.

reply

No idea. I think reputation can handle this for the foreseeable future.

reply

Yeah. 30% cut on 10k buy in is a bit too much. We will just find another way.

reply

Btw, just realized this is a 420% increase in revenue for founders, lol (21/5 = 4.2)

edit: damn math, 4.2 means it's an increase by 320%, not 420% (1.0 would mean no increase)

reply

It's 420% of the previous income share, though. English to the rescue, where math failed.

you're streets ahead

Great phrase: "Streets ahead" is verbal wildfire!

Thanks for the explanation as this will affect how I arrange pool prizes.

reply

Thank you for this, it’s very helpful

reply

I would go even further: 50-60 sats to OP and the rest distributed.
