I don’t think our wallet integrations are where they need to be yet. Both browser and native apps are prototyping wallet interop and integrations at present.
A zap isn’t the same as a reaction. A reaction could be any content, not just a relative of an upvote.
I’d also be concerned about forcing engagement to require Bitcoin usage. I’m fully supportive, however there should be a choice. Bitcoin adoption is a different journey for everyone.
They are close, Nostr Wallet Connect is impressive from what I’ve seen from Amethyst users (I’m on Damus).
I don’t think getting rid of the 🤙 forces engagement. It just gets rid of a useless vanity metric and pushes users towards engaging in more productive ways (discourse, V4V, or sharing).
Zaps can be faked and entirely vanity too. Its not quite that simple. Pretend I just zapped you 100,000 sats for your post. Then you zap this post 100,000 sats. It looks amazing.. but we’re just throwing the same sats around.
Client side zap validation is expensive and time consuming as currently implemented. Verifying on mobiles isn’t ideal today. Hopefully this can be improved.
I’m supportive of the motivation.. just cautious about excitement driven development rushing what’s already moving fast.
That’s the point: choice. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
