Q: Why would I do this?

Whether you are a brand who wants to advertise your product, or a pleb who wants to wish the network a good morning, Satograms allow you to put your messaging directly in front of users. Folks are a lot more receptive to "spam" messaging if they are getting paid for it.

Q: Can I track clicks on my links?

Yes. When you create a satogram, paste your destination URL into the optional Link field and we replace it with a short tracked link, then report how many recipients clicked it in the "Check Satogram Status" section. You provide one URL and we generate the link automatically. Put {link} in your message to choose where it appears, otherwise it is added to the end. Click counts come from recipients whose wallet shows the link as tappable (most lightning address and signup wallets), and we report totals only, never who individually clicked.

Q: Distribution between lightning addresses, nodes, and signups

You can select to target which groups receives your Satograms. The 'All' selection will reach our aggregated list of nodes, lightning addresses, and anyone who has signed up. The 'Signups' selection will send to only those who have signed up on our site. 'Nodes' will send to lightning nodes from our list including signed up nodes. 'Lightning Addresses' will reach all addresses from our list as well as signed up addresses.

Q: Refunds

65k is currently the best estimate to reach when 'All' is selected.. However network fees are not known until the payment is sent, making a perfect estimate impossible. In the case of over payment a refund can be issues for the over payment amount by contacting us (see contact info below). Example: Total Cost set to 65 sats. Actual costs to send all Satograms: 55k sats. A refund can be requested for the 150k difference.
