+This is a folIn my Soapminer article, I added quotes from various plebs. I earned ovver 12,000 sats! That's enough for a McJunk today, but maybe a steak dinner in a few years. That's my two sats anyway.
+
+*This is not investment advice*
+
+It feels great to receive value from people who support and appreciate your work. It's also nice to stack more sats by writing. I have a budget of $25.00  that I have sent to various people using zap planner, but I'm trying something new, zapsplits. 
+
+## WTF Are Zapsplits?
+
+I asked [Unleashed.chat](https://unleashed.chat). Here's what the anthropomorphic Unleashed said.
+
+Me:
+What is a zapsplit on nostr?
+
+![](https://unleashed.chat/_app/immutable/assets/logo-small.anXFAtno.jpeg)
+
+Unleashed:
+
+A zapsplit on Nostr refers to splitting a Zap, which is a form of donation or tipping on the ~platform~ protocol, among multiple recipients. **It allows users to distribute their support more broadly across various content creators instead of just one**.
+
+That's more succinct than I would put it, but nostr is a protocol, not a platform. The important part about Zapsplits for me is that it removes the cognitive cost of deciding what percentage of my giving budget should go to each creator. Do I zap ppdcast guests? Do podcasters with ads get less than podcasters sans ads? How much value did this particular aricle bring me? If I zap Guy Swann, should I also zap the authors he reads? Should I zap long-form articles more than micro-blogs? There are 21 million different considerations.
+
+
+ZapSplits removes all this from me because I can use  the following algorithm.

+
+### Does This Person Provide Me Value? 
+
+Yes ⬇️
+
+I add them to my zapsplit post for that month. A portion of my monthly zapping budget, 25 dirty-fiat bucks, transforms to magic Internet money and is distributed among everyone in the zapsplit.
+
+No ⬇️
+If I don't get any value, I don't send value. Simple.
+
+
+#### Testing Zapsplits
+
+I added podcasters and devs to a nostr post and enabked a 10 way zapsplit on the post.  It's based on Gigi's  priis little nostr feature gives me prose writing superpowers. 
+
+1. I can earn sats for writing.
+2. I can support others with a single zap.
+3. I can add people who give me quotes to my zap splits.
+   
+People appreciate attribution. I suspect they will appreciate it more if they also get paid. What if I added some quotes to an article and then split any zaps I get with the quoted plebs? Come to think of it, I'll try it. [Here's a quote from a dev on nostr](https://primal.net/e/note1qf4277rudtflllrjr555890xsjp6u60f7xdvclkwc9t220duajeq0x665q

+
+I added Silberangel to the zapsplits on habla.news.
+
+
+
+My v4v payments can also get sent to ten different plebs with a simple click of a button. I am going to start using this to alot my monthly V4V budget. Every monrh, I'll think about the people's conent I value.most and add them to a single zapsplit payment. Then, I'll zap the post.
+
+Say I create a poll and make a wager with ten different people. If I lose, I can pay everyone pit at the same time. This is probably better for a football pool, but you get the idea. The options are limited only by your imagination.

+
+Other people can also zap the post. Like Siberangel says, we can use other people's money to provide value too. This is a great option for stacking neophytes, people who don't have much bitcoin or cheap skates. Let's be honest, bitcoin has made most of us cheapskates.
+
+Bitcoin books with multiple authors can have QR codes that link to one of these zapsplit posts. The autors can do a book signing and sell their books using this on nostr. Nerds like me can get three autographs and zap the book. The sats are split among all authors. Here's a zapsplit which includes all the authors of Parallell.

+
+Can you think of any other ways to use ZapSplits? Let me know.
