Does activating your lightning wallet doxx you on here? #lightning #nostr #bitcoin #strike
Discussion
Welcome!!!
Are you referring to #Primal?
Primal links the kyc info of your wallet to your npub
Then better use a wallet that has no information about you and fill it through #monero 😉
What node said.
Y'all buying sats from Primal?
I was referring to the setup of their wallet
When you setup the wallet, they ask for your kyc info. That info is then automatically linked to your npub. Primal CEO said so 🤷🏾♂️
The Damus guy said that’s the only way that Primal can uses zaps, as long as the App Store gets a piece. But that can’t be right, because there are plenty of clients that allow you to use NWC and they are not restricted like Damus.
If you use Damus, just use this script to enable note zaps
I was trying to point out that there has to be another reason why Damus can’t natively zap since there are plenty of clients that operate like Damus but aren’t restricted.
Admittedly, I haven’t used it yet, but, YakiHonne seems to have the same functionality as Damus, without the need for a hack, So I can’t help but wonder what else they did that Apple treats them this way.
At first the feature was included in Damus. Then Apple threatened to remove it from the app store if they kept the note zaps. They were cracking down on the app because it’s one of the most popular nostr clients and the note zaps goes against their in app purchases. Will, the creator of the app, found a sly roundabout way with the script
I’m still up in the air on how I feel about their 30% take. I agree that nothing is free, so if you’re advertising a free app in their store, they’ll have to get their cut some other way. At least they’re not charging them monthly “rent”, regardless of what they sell, that would really bury most developers rather quickly.
Now, they do offer a subscription, that would guarantee they get a cut, except not everyone subscribes. So, we’re back to square one, how does Apple guarantee it gets a cut? By taxing zaps.
I don’t necessarily agree with their tactics, but I can certainly understand them. At the end of the day, they are still just a business.
I also don’t think popularity had anything to do with it, that’s kind of petty. I can’t see a multi trillion dollar company going after a single developer because his app does well and they’re not getting a piece of the action.
I also can’t see Apple allowing these other apps to continue violating their policies simply because the apps aren’t that popular. So, there has to be something else we’re missing.
It was definitely because of app popularity (number of downloads). They were trying to send a message. Smaller clients still have note zaps
Not sure if they get a cut for the Damus membership. You pay with sats on a Damus website. I don’t know if there’s an option to pay with fiat
What message, that we only enforce our policies on popular apps? I’m sure you can see how silly that sounds.
As far as membership, I wasn’t aware you could purchase it on their website or without standard currency, that’s probably what pissed them off. Now it’s starting to make sense.
Damus is actively circumventing Apple’s policies in order to avoid paying their dues.
No the message that they want apps to use in app purchases for transactions inside the app. They used Damus as an example.
The Damus membership came later than this situation with the note zaps. The two are unrelated
Did Will tell you all of this because it makes no damn sense and Damus isn’t that important. It’s one app, from a relatively unknown protocol and an unknown developer, with less than 700 downloads.
The stripped down version would be that Apple told him they would remove his app if he didn’t comply with the rules he agreed to when he brought his app to the store in the first place and he got pissy about it, plain and simple.
And instead of complying, he creates a hack to hide the functionality from them. He then doubles down by offering subscriptions outside of the store as well. Yeah, that sounds like him and it explains why Apple would continue to give him a hard time.
Less than 700 downloads? You’re mistaken sir. This week alone there was 1000+ downloads 😂
That was one day actually 😉. We’re excited for the growth! Hopefully other apps are seeing similar spikes
Even better 🤭
Out of all of that, that’s what you choose to jump on? Not that he’s actively violating their rules and inflating his own self worth to make it sound like Apple is out to get him, but because their download count is wrong? 🤦🏻♂️
It could have a million downloads, the guy is still a douchebag and it looks like I’m not the only one who realized that, LMAO.
I’m not looking to argue about facts. Enjoy your day Kevin
It’s interesting that you would mention facts when that’s all I have been trying to get out of you all day, LMAO.
I was curious what the factual reason for Apple, treating Damus differently, was, and I got my answer.
Have a great day.
Apple doesn’t like zap. They want apps to use in app purchases so they can take their cut. That’s the reason.
Have a great day too
And round and round we go. If that were the case, there wouldn’t be any apps that allow it, but there are. And before you say it, popularity has nothing to do with it. That would be idiotic for Apple to allow some apps to operate unrestricted simply because they have a lower user base.
What you’re saying isn’t a fact, it’s an opinion based on the information you have available, and that’s fine.
My opinion, based on the information available, is that Apple simply doesn’t like Damus and I can certainly understand why.
So far, the only apps that I have found that require a purchase from the AppStore, are apps that have their own wallet built into the app. Primal and Current both have to pay for zaps. So, maybe it has something more to do with wanting to use your own wallet rather than using NWC to access your funds.
Try Get one that's not via primal.
