This could be a great use case for Cashu. Send tokens that can be expired or revoked if not claimed within a certain time frame. No need to have a Lightning address on the receiving end. Just instructions on how to redeem the token in a compatible wallet. nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg nostr:npub1atc6zwsr9nnyn0rq72g2qqznr3x4yhm20g50wsexjukygwrg9atqh0lssy
There has to be a zap button like in old Damus or Primal with an integrated wallet like Primal and it has to appear on all notes/posts, but on any posts other than nostr ones it has to be crossed out with the hint when you touch it “zaps only possible for nostr posts”. or something like that. nostr:npub1atc6zwsr9nnyn0rq72g2qqznr3x4yhm20g50wsexjukygwrg9atqh0lssy

Hmmm…maybe. Personally I don’t see the point of using custodial fake sats instead of using custodial real sats…
Primal with Strike works super nice
You’re missing the point. Those services (really just one since Primal uses Strike) require KYC and aren’t available everywhere. They don’t offer any degree of privacy, and they have geographical restrictions, and they require registration in advance to receive them, unlike ecash tokens, which are just a blob of text that can be sent anywhere.
"custodial real sats" give your custodian full view of all your transactions. When they're ecash tokens, you have the same custodial risk but complete privacy from the custodian. It's a major upgrade
We’re also talking about how to zap users on other social networks that don’t have Lightning payments.
Yeah, fair point.
But if I am using it just for zaps it doesn’t matter at all. Because zaps are public anyway. At least on notes. If I want to use LN for purchases I will use Phoenix. It’s obviously not as private as ecash but good enough for my coffee.
