Noob question here 🙋
If we all used non custodial lightning wallets, would zaps stop working..?
Discussion
Yes
Look into zues wallet
I have, it looks awesome, but the question I'm asking is whether you can send small zaps to a non custodial wallet off the bat. My guess is no as you'd need to pay a channel open fee. Doesn't this defeat the utility of zaps..?
Custodial or not, these services still have working Lightning channels, and those channels are still open, and those open channels still use Bitcoin.
Where shit will hit the fan is if people suddenly can’t access the WoS app itself. In the case of WoS being removed from US App Stores, this is almost a reality because as soon as they delete that app they can’t reinstall it!
