Why not a fan btw?
Discussion
A bunch of reasons:
- Can be faked (at least two ways), skewed incentives: #[1]
- PR was rushed, feedback was ignored: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/224#issuecomment-1429286164
- Fragile design, not interoperable with paid relays or client auth: #[2]
- Easy to DDoS zap receivers = encourages centralization of LN nodes: #[0]
- Much less private than LN sats
- Requires LNURL changes (not interoperable with plain LN / LNURL, no graceful fallback)
