Imagine this: You're on stage. A QR code appears on the screen behind you. Someone in the audience scans it and zaps you 100,000 sats. The screen explodes with an animation: their name, their avatar, spinning letters spelling "TOP ZAP." The audience sees it. More zaps come in.

That's the audience’s choice. They can stay fully immersed in the talk, or they can actively engage. Sending money is the ultimate form of attention: it’s voluntary, costly, and expressive. You can reward, signal appreciation, or even criticize. In real time.

Attention is cheap. Zaps aren’t. Think of it as clapping, with consequences.

I’ve actually never tried Nostur but that sounds wild PubPay has some pretty cool zap animations (no sound for now). Let’s just say we have some fun ideas in mind for @The Bitcoin Conference 🤲⚡️

This would be awesome for a future festival. A bitcoin/ nostr festival where there's music, tents for local produce people can buy, workshops on tech and health /lifestyle. And you can only pay with sats. No coiners have to buy ecash with credit card or cash on the way in 😎 #grownostr

I know the next sentence will be triggering but hang on. I have not had any issue zapping using a custodial wallet. The only time I run into a delay it is due to the individual using their own node. Francis if you gamify that with a leaderboard you increase the ability to zapvertize. Imagine if @c48e29f0…26e14c11 who's not at the conference decides to zap his podcast to the top

Francis Mars68d ago
Zapping people running their own nodes can sometimes fails because their relays or zap receipt isn’t set up correctly. PubPay Live is exactly that: a leaderboard you can use for zapvertising. Many have figured that out at AdoptingBitcoin 🤲

all permissionless, and happening in real time. Once you experience it live, it’s hard to unsee

Maybe I'm wrong, but if I remember correctly even the biggest conferences like Nashville in 24 didn't even have any merchants accepting bitcoin. I remember people being pissed off about it. Would love to be proven wrong and would love to see it. But you would also need to find a place with high enough density of merchants and producers willing to accept sats and also enough musicians and technicians to put on a festival and do all the zapping V4V stuff properly. It will happen at some point though, no doubt

The Bitcoin Conference67d ago
For a while all flagship bitcoin conferences have had lightning payments for food and other activations like @b3633fb9…5e32a613, official merch store, and bazaar vendors. In Vegas we even broke a Guinness world record for most transactions in a day, thanks to the relentless efforts of @91c9a5e1…e036f832. We’re ready and we’re going to make all guests ready too ✊⚡️

All I'm saying is to do a full blown music festival with all the suppliers, staff people involved etc running on bitcoin only and inviting no coiners who will be given sats on entry is a few years off at least. The conferences are awesome but it only attracts people who are already bitcoiners. It would be great to see a cultural event (which would attract non bitcoiners) which would just happen to use bitcoin & nostr for everything. Then no-coiners could see it work in action. I think the zapping of an artist on stage is the most compelling thing for non bitcoiners as that can't be achieved with credit cards unlike regular merchant payments

That's precisely my idea for Bringing Bitcoin that I've been trying to get off the ground for 3 years! More recently, @Roger 9000 has been pushing a similar concept called Sats4Sounds

The ecosystem might be ready for that in a few years. As of now, even most bitcoiners have never even made a lightning payment

I’ve been attending Bitcoin conferences for the last 3 years with @b3633fb9…5e32a613 , putting Lightning in front of people and letting them use it. I’ve personally seen thousands of first-time Lightning payments happen. From that perspective, the world is more ready than we think

Last time I talked to bitcoiners at a conference I was explaining value for value and most of them hadn't made a lightning payment before. That was in 2024 though...

Thats cool and I absolutely appreciate the effort and the achievement! But like written in another statement, the conferences mainly attract bitcoiners and imho create seldomly newcoiners. For that, I think, the orange pilling event must not be labeled as a Bitcoin event, because mentioning BTC is a deterrent for nocoiners.
