From a normie's account point of view, my experience is better with Monero, likely because I don't have those outlier zaps for 5000 Sats. Hell, every zap over 100 Sats is an outlier for me. 😂 And if I exclude my two "online friends", even 42 Sats is an exception. On average, I received almost 110 Sats/day, and the equivalent to roughly 3500 Sats in #xmr.
And to those who blame people who want zaps:
I'm talking about a side account dedicated to art. I take pictures daily, and it costs $18 to host those pictures for a year on a server, without using bots or anything, and without spamming people with likes just to be noticed. I openly stated that I want to run this experiment to find out if Nostr is worth the effort, so it's not complaining or anything. More recently, I decided to continue the experiment by adding Monero instead of killing the account, and only then did the Monero gang make it plausible, while making a friend.
I am convinced that retention will increase by diversifying the range of topics, and I'm doing my part. Besides the art account ( Poseidon (nprofile…vxk6) ), I also have one about classical music ( Classical Music (nprofile…ap4s) )and one about trains ( nprofile1qqsvkzrvggl6nswy76nse2nv7v8prdje9y3ykftddmv36v3gvu3e02gpt0jh4 (nprofile…0jh4) ). Is it worth the effort? Absolutely not. But since I'm not a dev, I help however I can because I believe in Nostr's role.

Day 4 update comparing Monero tips and zaps. Today I’m including number of zaps/Monero in addition to total amounts.

Shout out to whoever sent that anonymous 5K sat zap yesterday morning 👀🫂

- 9006 sats (≈$7.17 USD), 31 zaps
- 0.000501 XMR (≈25¢), 1 tip


Do Monero tips have a cool name like zaps? If they’re ever going to catch on they need a cool name than tips.
