Luke Palmer, at Monerotopia23, a little after the 13 minute mark starts talking about Nostr and how to implement Monero for zaps. I have heard of other ecosystems implementations using Nostr (mostly Monero and Minds) But I'm sure we will see other ecosystems end up here. I don't really mind, I think the biggest community here will be Bitcoin. The only thing that can ruin that is a well-funded a16z coin. Any other community that joins nostr will just be making nostr (Bitcoin's platform) bigger, even if that particular community isn't a Bitcoiners community.

Note: At one point he refers to a "Lightning improvement proposal" I guess the phrase would be either a NIP or a BOLT. Probably a NIP, that doesn't sound like a problem with the Lightning network in general.

I have donated to a bounty to add monero zaps to nostr

monero zaps could actually be done is a noncustodial p2p way

also adoption. it is credible that this sort of social media could drive bitcoin or monero adoption.

i woukd personally prefer it was monero.

Yeah, I'm happy to see it. Honestly, the only other community I wouldn't mind having around. But Lightning has some limitations that are (very) slowly being solved. Async payments is a (very) big one (being able to recieve payments when not online) Nostr took the path of not waiting for the right way to do something, and just using any way to do it. (Probably the right move. Its been great having zaps at all.) LNURLS can't be entirely trustless, but you can make it go to something you hold the Bitcoin keys to, your node, or a Phoenix Wallet or something like that.

You know, nvm, that's only for when I send, you can make LNURLS go to nodes though, they need the 100% uptime. As for noncustodial receiving of zaps without a node, still waiting on async payments (or something like greenlight (a virtual node on the cloud, obviously not the best direction, but a better direction than WoS, since people hold the keys.)

Sorry about replying to this one, your reply disappeared for me, lol, nostr.
