OK. So, my understanding of zaps is accurate? Whats the difference in clicking the lightning bolt vs tipping from the profile? Does the bolt icon amount get recorded by relays and used to show how much sats it has received? Could it be ranked based on popularity of sats?

I have not read the NIP in detail, but the receiving wallet does actually post a sort of “read receipt” event that it got zaps. These could be aggregated by a relay for sorting (right now it just displays on the post).

I haven’t read enough about the NIP to understand how the zap gets communicated to the wallet - if that somehow happens in the lightning transaction or if the sending nostr client is also publishing a send event that the receiving wallet has to look for.

So definitely more going on than a standard tip, but I can’t say I fully understand it yet
