nostr-tools PR adds NIP-57 zap receipt validation
nostr-tools PR #412, opened by patrickReiis, implements zap receipt validation as described in Appendix F of NIP-57. The PR is still open in the nbd-wtf/nostr-tools repo.
Mechanically, this aligns nostr-tools with the NIP-57 validation path for zap receipts, making zap-based proof-of-payment reactions more directly verifiable by clients or downstream tooling. The feed notes this could support trust in zap interactions and applications like zap counters.
Caveat: the change also introduces a new dependency, and the PR is not merged yet. That matters because the reasoning chain flags added dependency complexity and potential security surface as an open concern.
