This is what I assumed might be happening after my little imromptu trial and error test. I don’t understand why it matters where the sender is located since I’m not a ZBD customer/user. I am not bound by their terms of service. The nature of VPNs and the lightning network means that a sender could potentially be anywhere in the world, and the payment could route through multiple of their “prohibited” jurisdictions before it reaches the ZBD user’s wallet. Blocking outgoing payments is bad enough. Blocking incoming payments is even worse. I would not recommend anyone use ZBD for nostr and lightning.
