If you want pay-to-post or zap your friends in a private group chat, you have lost the plot.

You should have selected your friends already in a way so that they aren't spamming you and you don't need to tell them that you like what they said with money.

Zapping is a means to an end, it's not the goal.

Yeah this is why I stopped using the keychat app

it's pay-to-post or it has zaps in private group chats or both?

Pay to send a message. Every message is 1 sat

in a private group chat?

reply

Yeah or just peer to peer

p2p might make sense if it's the first time and you can then remove the fee

but it sounds dumb to keep paying each other for no apparent reason

is it non-custodial? if so, there are also network fees involved, right?

reply

What if you view it as a fee for service? To support the app developer instead of ads or selling data for example

Mhhh, didn't think about that, thanks

But I imagine the UX is terrible, so I might actually prefer watching ads instead, it might have better UX, lol.

Pay-per-message also punishes you if you're the type that sends multiple smaller messages instead of one bigger one. Or you just keep editing old messages if possible, for as long as possible. Or do edits also have a fee?

See? I'm already trying to optimize the fee, instead of having a great experience.

However, I did not try it out, so maybe it doesn't actually work that way.

It uses ecash and a nostr relay to send messages

From their Github:

this looks like you are not paying each other, but the relay

Who wants pay to post in private group chats?

I'm sure there are people, because zaps ✨
