That's the right approach, IMO. Glad to see apps giving users more choice.

One thing to keep in mind is that, as per the current zap spec, if a receiver LN addr supports zaps, you cannot (should not?) allow both a plain LN tip and a zap to that recipient. So by offering users that choice in the app settings, you're going against the current spec :)

Which only makes sense, your approach is the sensible thing to do.

Oh, that’s interesting. My thinking was that tip was profile specific and zap was note specific.

I do think that the ability for a user to turn off the displayed counter for likes or zaps is a good thing.

Common misconception. As you saw with our test earlier, its very possible to tip a note as well.

Yes, the displayed counter is tricky. More of a distraction TBH, cause you can never be sure its real (note author can zap himself to "self-boost").

Same reason why I stopped paying attention to likes and retweets on twitter, cause its heavily manipulated.
