Is it just me or are zaps in Damus super odd? When I scroll the feed I see blanks where the zap count should be. Then if I click into the note all of a sudden the zap count appears, and when I return to the feed the zap count is visible for that post, but zap counts are blank on other notes. Even though I have Alby setup and confirmed working I can’t zap a post. I can only zap profiles. Is this expected behavior? Other nostr clients don’t behave this way. Zapping on Yakihonne performs just as I would expect and I can zap a post. Feels like a bug but uninstalling and signing in again shows the same behavior. What am I missing? #asknostr
Discussion
You meet to go to https://zap.army to enable zaps on posts in Damus.
Not sure how Yakihonne got away with having zaps on posts without bowing the knee to Apple in some other way.

Ha, right? This feels like the thing that we’re not supposed to talk about. Yet all of nostr is zaps zaps zaps. My next research is around why the Alby extension disappeared from Safari after being introduced last year. There are GitHub mentions of the feature but nothing about why it was pulled. For a company that seems to care so much about privacy (ie Advanced Data Protection end-to-end encryption) Apple sure does hinder newer types of digital experiences— Shenanigans! 🤪
On the App Store side, one thing that seems clear is zaps on individual posts are considered purchases of content delivered in-app, and thus 3.1.1 of the App Review Guidelines applies—so in-app purchase must be enabled, and in the context of LN wallets that means considerable work with either Strike (or maybe ZBD) tooling, and some work on the legal side too, drafting terms and thresholds and such, as well as having the developer entity properly licensed for all this in the country of registration. So it's a tall order. And this requires KYC because of national laws. Zaps on profiles seem to be considered as more akin to bank transfers, and thus 3.1.1 may not apply there, but national licensing obligations may as it's still store of value. Research carries on.
I’ve noticed the same thing. I chalk it up to relay data sent
I have the same issue.
Hopefully nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft will get it resolved in the next release. Definitely sounds like a bug related to Alby NWC
Not sure what Pablo has to do with this :D
I dont think its related to Alby NWC at all. This is 99% Damus. Daniel is our guy in this situation.
lol. Yes. Totally misread the thread because in addition to the zaps issue in Damus I’m also dealing with NWC connecting to Olas. I think I saw Daniel has zap improvements in Damus on deck for the next quarter 🙏🏻
