An active user here is a “daily active trusted pubkey” according to Nostr Band

2023-07-14 15:46:57

Twitter's rate-limiting in early July almost doubled Nostr's daily active users in a couple of days.
Usage has pulled back since then, but seems to have stabilized at over 10,000 daily active users.
That's up 25% from the baseline in May and June.

will keep a close eye on this moving forward.
podcast listeners are sending me 100k-300k sats/month, nostr zaps are probably at 5-10% of that today… but i don’t have enough data to be sure about the nostr amounts yet, could end up being much higher or lower over time.

Looks like there are roughly 7,000 zaps/day on Nostr according to Nostr Band.
A few related LN numbers:
- WoS does ~20k LN payments/day
- In the summer, Breez was doing as many payments as WoS (~10k/day)
- River’s LN nodes process ~4k payments/day
One interesting note is that Nostr activity hasn’t meaningfully changed LN public capacity. There does seem to be more payment activity though, so maybe node operators are earning more from routing fees.

right now most podcasters call them boosts if they are one-time payments, streams if they are recurring payments, and boostagrams if the payments come with messages attached to them.

I hear you, and there is a big difference between paying prior to consumption and paying after consumption.
However, these are all still Lightning payments attached to content and we have a handful of words that refer to the same actions.
Do you believe that converging on one term is important? Or is it ok that we use one word for podcasts, one for nostr, etc?

2023-02-17 17:55:04
