I just received a marketing message through Wallet of Satoshi because my #Bitcoin #lightning address is displayed on my #Nostr profile. I saw a notification that I had received a #zap, so I checked it out. What was it? It was an unsolicited marketing message that someone paid 5 #sats to send me by putting an ad in the payment description. Nostr users should be prepared to start receiving ZPAM (Zap spam) messages if they have a lightning address listed publicly. I added mine though Damus when I first downloaded the app and have received valid sats in response to some of my posts, but I am not looking forward to an onslaught of “junk mail” via Nostr and Lightning. The idea of getting paid directly for every ad I have to look at sounds nice at first, but the very low barrier to entry makes me worried that once the floodgates open, nothing will be able to hold back the great deluge of ads.
