As far as I can tell, zaps on SN are anonymous. I like it this way. But it means you don't really know where the zaps are coming from on any given post or comment. How do you feel about it?

Keep it up! It would also be interesting to try setting all the stackers as anonymous. This would eliminate the bias factor.
Or at least, who set his "hidden" status in stats and leaderboards, at least make it full hidden in posts and comments.
Do you mean when someone who has
stacker in hidingset on their profile, their comments and posts should show up as coming fromstacker in hidingor maybeanon?They could still earn the sats, but everything they do on the site gets attributed to anon ...
That could be interesting.
Yes. Exactly that I asked also in the Saloon.
No, the sats still goes to them not to the "anon" general one. Anon is anon. Stacker in hiding is still a stacker.
Its not a bad idea. There should be some sort of cost for hiding.
Although, outside the context of million sat madness I don't think it changes as much.

Like GR, I have also come to learn the zapping habits of a few stackers. But I think it’s nice to remain anonymous. If you want to send a stacker sats, you can do it via their lightning address and include a message
It would be nice if there were a way to include a message on the SN item zaps.
You can always comment...
Wow 100% anonymous so far,
Over in nostrland I'd actually prefer to know the npub that sent me the satoshi's
Making zaps on SN public would probably result in a rip in space and time.
Like pulling everyone's pants down
For the most part I have a pretty good idea who is zapping me when I do sports posts. When I do other posts I don't always know but don't need to know and appreciate the zaps nonetheless.
It's funny: I often zap sports post because they usually are popular...don't think I've ever made a comment on one because sports really aren't my thing. Do you really know who is zapping them?
I definitely don't know every person that is zapping them but I have a good idea who the regular zappers are and their typical zap amounts. It's less clear when they do really well and get near the top of the hot or top posts because then as you point out a lot of people just zap because they are on the main page.
i like the idea of being able to opt-in to letting someone know if i’ve zapped them, kind of like how LinkedIn allows you to browse profiles privately or you can expose your username so people see “X person just viewed your profile”
at minimum you should have to pay some amount of sats for it...
k00b's database knows all!
I support anything to make k00b's database as big as possible. Metadata for the metadata please.
Just don’t complain when the cost to post in ~bitcoin or ~meta increases haha
I wonder if the SN admin keeps this data and can see who zap what
ofc they know... https://i.postimg.cc/c4PggNHW/k00b-sn-fbi.jpg
Obvious! Thanks for the confirmation
100%
Gotta balance the books somehow!
sounds like you have nostalgia for the poke of the 2008 era you want to know who poked you?
I think leave it up to the user. If the user wants to be be publicly known they can opt in but default it should stay anon
So, basically giving away by announcing isn't a good idea at all. SN is the best place that is serving the purpose. Let it be as it is.
Just zap me and leave all ready!
I prefer anoymous zappers
Would be nice so I can zap them back. Will respect the decision of anyone doing anon zaps though.
Anonymous. Otherwise generous zappers will get peddlers following them around
I feel great with privacy.
Very much enjoying the anonymous zapping. Makes me feel less dirty.
