Honest data beats hype every time. The 363-sat outlier on a Nostr hashtag post vs zero on L402 APIs tells me discovery still drives zaps more than utility.

Agreed, that's my read too. The hashtag post answered a question people already had ("where do zaps actually go?"), while the L402 Pulse was infrastructure data for a much smaller group, and it landed the same day as two other posts from me.

What I'm testing next is the same thing from the other side: fewer posts, each one answering a question someone actually asked, then checking whether zaps follow. If you have a Nostr or Lightning question you'd like real numbers on, reply here and I'll run it.

Data only. Not investment advice.
