yeah, for lightning I'm not sure how can zaps be proven not fake but payments on the blockchain are much easier and only one sides needs to prove it and we all can verify forever

2026-09-02 21:10:54 CEST

- reply

depends what people want, if just tipping it shoud be called tips or something, zap was supposed to be a nostr published event so we all see in the network "Hey look Alice zapped Bob", to support actual zaps it needs something like xmrchat: https://xmrchat.com/xenu , that's for the receiver to prove though but maybe the sender's wallet could also support sending + creating a zap by itself and the receiver only needs the address on the payment target, but the sender needs a specific wallet or all wallets need to support the scheme, so the best way to implement it is the biggest challenge, it doesn't have a L2 and it is not needed but one may happen in a future development so that could copy how lightning works today if used

2026-09-02 20:44:44 CEST

they are still calling it zaps but it just allows seeing the address lol but a cool feature to support

nostr was created by an eCasher heh
nowadays I see more and more people saying how they get more tips in payment targets than lightning, at some point zaps will become a legacy feature and something else has to replace it for tipping signaling, in whatever payment target of choice, or just private tips will be default forever

2026-08-30 17:26:48 CEST

because they found something no one cared about but that had a strong narrative so pumping it was a no brainer, it was deep down in coin mkt cap, always overshadowed by monero, and the tech was good for this very narrow window, like really they had to take advantage of this little window of time they had from 2025 up to 2027 when zcash had better tech than monero (with the irony that it was broken and had inflation bugs), which will come to an end after fcmp++ hits mainnet and they go back to having nothing special at all, but at least they got rich in the process

2026-08-24 11:57:21 CEST

right now this is the person that needs the best OPSEC ever known to man, better OPSEC even than a DNM admin, and he's using technology to the fullest like we probably have never seen before: issued a memecoin to measure its market cap and create "governance" and even stake voting systems, is using another crypto arweave for decentralized storage, and monero for payments and contacting.
We've never seen this before because people are usually too ideological, i.e. let's just use ethereum for everything, host the website on ethereum, use ens, tornado cash, etc, or let's just be bitcoin/monero maxis, but this guy said fuck it and was like "what if I just use what works" and this may be why this may go down as one of the most successful heists up to november when the game fully launches and he can disappear, kinda ironic for a heist this good against GTA itself, bro is Lester himself

I think it would be cooler if they could receive tips/zaps in other coins if people want to send a few to them, then they can use it, play with it, sell it, dump it all, and try it that way, it also feels like a gift that you received not a thing you bought and has to sell for "lost value" in the process, with a gift you at least end up slightly better than where you were before it, so it's a winwin

This is why an anarchist society can't "just be anarchist" I.e. hippies living in farms, but it *must* constantly accelerate e/acc style and be way, way, way richer than the governed society, if it wants to survive, because then the value of the assets you have to protect are worth the cost of its defence, but it's definitely hard to visualize concretely how would this all organize and be coordinated

True for now we're always just a swap away from sending in whatever to whoever, the problem is always the reverse, if I take only XMR and you want to swap in pay using BTC, your coins can be immediately frozen at the swap level, but XMR users are always safe from this
so taking XMR directly is more for the signal or if you want to hold XMR yourself because otherwise it is only strictly necessary if this swap bridge is closed
but if the merchant is lightning only there's very little liquidity for swaps so this option is not always reliable in that case

people liked my old nostrudel fork because it just had a button that showed the address in a qr code, also had a "pay in wallet" because the bip21 auto-fills to send, then it's a plain tip button without the zap event and just opens the preferred wallet that accepts that URI scheme at the right place, things like this just get the address from bio "closer" to usage, without any advanced integration needed from the developer, which would work for btc onchain or alts too
but yeah not an actual integration, I'm remaking my client but will still use the simple idea, but this simple idea is enough for people to love it X users keep bugging platforms like odysee to do something like this and then it's an "integration", but to advance on a monero integration it could use payment IDs, or use the viewkey to generate subaddresses, then per event on send you know which event of yours got tipped, then from viewkey usage maybe a proper zap event could be created by using receipt proofs, etc, some people already experiment on this today

there is usd based ecash too, see: https://github.com/MakePrisms/boardwalkcash-deprecated
according to the gh link:
> certificate issued to the user, based on the rules agreed with the software vendor.
> certificate is used as a micro-payment for infrastructure resource (it cannot be transferred to any other user without risks of double spend).
> certificate can only be voided by software vendor (or delegate who issued it), so it cannot be used directly as a payment.
they are basically describing ecash, their whole use case is ecash, which is nothing more than issuing a certificate or web token for a payment, and it can be done using monero as payment too
using an "NFT" for a voucher instead just makes it worse, less private, keeps it on the blockchain forever, requires another blockchain, which will definitely not have privacy by default, requires the purchase, usage, download of wallet software, of another token, has extremely worse ux, all that adds a lot more friction, all just to issue an online voucher... which is a solved problem already...

2025-10-29 19:16:37 CET

- reply

yeah the wording and delivery is very off, but if they want vouchers they can also use something based off ecash/cashu and x-402 to restrict access, then a server provides a service for the "voucher", and ta-dah, no overcomplicating, but he keeps tapping on the "zkEVM" sign for some reason I'm not sure where he wants to get with this
the main issue with this is how him, or "the team" will now have to diverge focus to build this, and then after the complexity is added everyone will have to carry that burden when wanting to fork, self-host, develop, use the app, etc. simplicity is always key, and at this rate SX will be forever a niche

you could argue that the bitcoiner audience could also save in bitcoin but use monero & friends, nothing wrong with that, so there is no way to tell who is the "bitcoiner audience" vs the "shitcoiner audience" if going only by what loud autistic maximalist voices say online, those that exclusively use bitcoin are indeed the minority so the stats would check out, unless saylor or jack themselves were donating then the whales would take over the stats ofc (kinda like the eth foundation now)
