I guess that answers that. Definitely custodial. I didn’t set up anything

How do you define this as custodial, just curious?

nostr:npub18m4nmc2wchzgcmzvnluqjzxyrpshp64mwje2vuz60kulny3v6c0qtgcl2x posts here occasionally, btw.

if the bitcoin is locked to some key only i have access to. if i was zapped on X there is no way this could be possible.

That image didn’t load, but I assume it’s just generating a key and sending money to it before DMing the recipient the key?

I don't think that BitBit is using DMs for anything. Those BitBit posts you see (like ".... just tipped ___ 21 sats")... I believe they are doing those with (possibly expensive) API credits from X. So it's actually costing them money to make those posts... they do NOT seem to request and "write" access to the user's X account, only "read" access. Regarding the actual zapping/funds movement, I believe it is all happening within Spark -- that's how they are able to support refunds. (Because refunding Lightning payments is pretty difficult....)....... Like Spark as a whole, I don't think it's really accurate to describe this as "non-custodial", but also, who cares, the main thing is: Can they bring zapping to X? If they can, I don't care how they get there, I am all for it!!

yeah seems more like an unsustainable marketing gimmick

Everything is unsustainable until you raise $25m in VC funding, then everything is sustainable again!

Honestly if I were about to plunk down 10 BTC to help BTC adoption, an unsustainable zapping campaign on X that will be shut down anyway in 6 months... might be the best bang for the buck! It could at least teach 100,000 people that they need to get on Nostr to do this for real....

nostr:npub18m4nmc2wchzgcmzvnluqjzxyrpshp64mwje2vuz60kulny3v6c0qtgcl2x how many people has Spark brought to nostr?
