The Monero tips/xaps slowed down the last few days, but this was a fun and eye opening experiment. Monero xaps were generally larger in size but fewer in quantity/frequency, whereas Bitcoin zaps were much smaller in size but greater in quantity/frequency.
A handful of fat zaps narrowed the difference between the two (shoutout to pgsdesign (nprofile…msju) for a few of those), but the Monero gang still beat out the bitcoiners in terms of total value sent.
Personally I find that larger tips feel more impactful, even though they’re fewer in number. Both are appreciated, but one or two fat zaps just makes a much different impression. Whether the tips were bitcoin or monero made no difference to me in terms of impact, as everything will get converted into my currency of choice. Both felt equally valuable to receive.
Fun experiment. The payment target will stay on my profile. I wish more client apps supported them.
