Hot Take: I am officially against #LNURL and #Zaps, at least the way it’s been rolled out. #Nostr Zaps basically pushed everyone to @Wallet of Satoshi which is custodial and hugely centralizing to LN. I have a RaspPi and still, there’s no easy way to take LNURL and Zaps. Even with a VPS it’s non-trivial to get non-custodial LNURL+Zaps going.

Look, you all can ‘have fun’ on Nostr (Parker Lewis on TFTC described as wasting time). But when you are harming #Bitcoin then you have lost the plot.

If you LARP around then you will find out what a CBDC world looks like.

To receive Zaps?

Yes, and send

I don’t see the ability to generate a LNURL on Zeus. Let alone if its NIP-57 supporting. As it is your Nostr profile doesn’t have a LNURL address to Zap to.

Our profile when edited allows input of a

Lightning address. I assume this is where you setup yr LNURL? I’m new to all this so only taking things one step at a time.

n3xB | Global Bitcoin Exchange Protocol on Nostr 2y ago

Yes. The problem is to get a valid LNURL/Lightning Address with a working web server on the other end of it.

Would that be the peer public key posted into yr profile?

n3xB | Global Bitcoin Exchange Protocol on Nostr 2y ago

Nah. LNURL/Lightning Address is something else.

Zeus v0.7.3 has lnurl pay and auth.

n3xB | Global Bitcoin Exchange Protocol on Nostr 2y ago

Paying, or getting paid?

13%ter 2y ago

Both

Only way to find out is to paste the LNURL/Address into Nostr/Damus and see if you receive Sats. And if Zap receipts bounces back here

CLN has a lnurl plugin as well. It’ll take a while but I’ll try set it up.
