I always liked the joy of getting the daily zaps. It helps retain new users I think.

it just more fun opening up SN each day with daily surprises and without the feeling of " pressured " to create content to get higher rank.

Good short summary.

I totally agree, it was very cool to have Daily Rewards. Now posts are more forced and not organic just to belong to a list

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @nym 30 Apr

I agree for sure. Looks like a good compromise to have both!

6 sats \ 0 replies \ @Wumbo 30 Apr

Agreed, I hope the rewards page sticks around also.

Great!!!

Oh snap! It will be interesting to see how this affects people and posts after two months of MRM!

105 sats \ 16 replies \ @siggy47 30 Apr

I don't want to be a downer (man), but in a month or so we're all going to be in unchartered territory. The rewards will change and small zaps will likely vanish. It will be like venturing out of the solar system.

I tested using Alby linked with Blink on desktop, it actually works quite nice.

Good. Do you need to create an account with Blink?

54 sats \ 0 replies \ @Natalia 30 Apr

yes needed, so to get its API.

100 sats \ 4 replies \ @ek 30 Apr

Thanks for testing! How did you connect Alby to SN?

212 sats \ 3 replies \ @Natalia 30 Apr

no, I just connected Alby with Blink API to test how it feels if I send or receive with Alby while the backend is blink, and it turned out quite smooth - I assumed it would be the same if SN could connect with Blink's API?

210 sats \ 2 replies \ @ek 30 Apr

Ahh, makes sense. Will fix Alby support today.

I assumed it would be the same if SN could connect with Blink's API?

Yes!

54 sats \ 1 reply \ @Natalia 30 Apr

or Blink?

then I'm not so worrying! and @siggy47 can be relax about the unchartered territory! 🤓

But the concerns about small zaps due to network fees are valid. But on the other hand, lightning was meant to support micropayments.

I personally have a private channel with SN but not sure how many will open one. The good thing is that you can use this private channel also for other things.

What do you mean by 'unchartered territory'?

228 sats \ 6 replies \ @siggy47 30 Apr

With the wallet changes our stacking habits will need to change. We all have enjoyed the ease of the SN custodial wallet. By "unchartered territory" I meant the added fees, complexity, and inconvenience of a non custodial zapping system. There will be a learning curve and it will probably require a change in zapping habits. In the long run, we'll be better off, but it might be a rocky road.

I see. I haven't read up on when the wallet changes will take effect, but I'm guessing it'll be more than a month. I hope it works out with Alby!

79 sats \ 3 replies \ @siggy47 30 Apr

Things are fluid right now will all custodial wallets. By the time the changes occur Alby might be shut down in the US, IMO.

75 sats \ 2 replies \ @0xbitcoiner OP 30 Apr

The point you raise about Alby is valid and could indeed happen. I'm in Europe, do you think it could affect operations here?

102 sats \ 0 replies \ @ek 30 Apr

I think it's reasonable to assume that Europe will follow at some point

205 sats \ 0 replies \ @siggy47 30 Apr

I don't think so, but I don't know whether it would affect its interaction with SN. One thing we have going for us is this site has a lot of really smart people who can come up with solutions/workarounds as issues come up.
