What’s interesting is if you’re using private zaps like a DM, it’s truly private and has no public metadata. You could switch to a OnlyZaps™️ DM mode where all the messages are private zaps. This could be a good way to fight DM spam and improve privacy 🤔

Makes total sense. DM only if sending sats

Insanely good idea. Reduce spam DMs!

Really cool!

Follow on - make the requested DM have a sat minimum to let the user set how open they want their DMs!

太好了。👍👍👍

I want this

So if I log into someones account using their npub, would i see anything about the zaps in dm, like how now i see the dm without the content of the dm?

Killer app!

When you said OnlyZaps kinda sounded like OnlyFans 🤪 is that what u meant?

Lol OnlyZaps mode is the name of the option to use zaps for more things in damus. Well the mode doesn’t exist yet but I think its a great name 😆

Well then OnlyZaps mode can be used in more than one way for sure :p

Plenty of creative ideas will surely flow haha

Hey Will - wen remove like button? Waste of space 🙃

What's the difference between this and chatting over LN (eg. Sphinx Chat)?

Its not p2p so it works

why didn’t p2p work?

Could this be used for small business transactions? If each one had their own relay? Idk just a pleb thinking 🤔

You need an Anon-Private Zaps.

Will do!

I’ll zap to that! ⚡️⚡️

Feel free to send zaps to my DM for a few pictures of my feet.

That’s a really good idea

I thought OnlyZaps was for CryptoThots

You’re effectively using services like WoS to send the DM for you, with the identity and message encrypted inside. This turns nip57 providers into DM privacy proxies on nostr that also incurs a cost to spam. This is pretty fucking cool.

This is cool 🔒

🤤

OMG

Lol that is absolutely rad

Just sent a private zap on this with a message. Will you be looking to add more text options to the comment filed? I wasn’t able to copy paste, for example

Probably yeah, could make it a proper post button

Err posting text input field i meant

I think you solved it.

Would also be neat if you paid the provider 2 sats per message handled and the provider repaid the sender 1 sat for delivery.

This way you know the message was delivered and the provider has some financial motivation, however small.

👊🏼

Would message size be limited?

All I could think of when I saw OnlyZaps

Finally, a way to escape the DM spam and enjoy the peace of privacy!

Yup two birds with one stone. I did not think about it when designing private zaps but it would be perfect for this.

Do you have bluesky invite code sir?

🤨

😂

💜🔥

Try again with the file ext

Only works when I do on desktop. When I copy paste on mobile it only gives 1 link, plus don’t know what the extension is. I’ll try .jpeg for zits and giggles

Came up blank with .jpeg will try .png now

Blank for png will try .img https://imgur.com/a/tms3lkr.img

What am I doing wrong ?

Do it

I think this as a envelope made out of money carrying a paper-message in it

Yes its like an envelope that can only be opened with a special key.

to: Alice

from: ???

delivered-by: Wallet of Satoshi

When you open it you see who it’s from and the message

From Bob.

It’s from Bob.

🧘🏼‍♀️

it’s always Bob

😂

where do i sign ✅

Can't change default zap amount from 1000 sats. Must be a bug.

Yes, fixed in next release

A Private Zap could be a request to DM (e.g. like Signal) if not from someone that is followed. Could be part of a new DM specification (other than NIP-04).

How are zaps being validated? Is there a whitelist of entities signing the Zap event?

I understand it is done by relays if at all.

I’m not sure it would be a good anti-spam, unless the zap was double-checked by the LM wallet.

I’m very interested in better privacy for DMs. Will take a look at the NIP to understand better how it works

They are validated using the nostrPubkey on the lnurlp endpoint.

That should work.

If you see they’ll spamming you, you can switch lnurl for your invoices.

Would be interesting to do the same to replies. I think you proposed something like that recently.

Assuming person is using 3rd party.

If it’s their own node then there’s no point.

My proposal of changing the name to Zostr — Zaps and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays — makes more and more sense.

The more things get integrated with LN the better they’ll get.

💯
