Nostr Zap surveillance tech: https://zaplife.lol

This is what happens when "convenience" not privacy is the default setting. Sure its a "choice we are all making" but damn.....

I run multiple nodes and hesitated to connect my nostr account to any of them because I didn't want this account associated to nodes I use IRL for real #Bitcoin. I guess I need to spin up another nostr only node now.

Even though I agree on the overall point of LN receive privacy issues, important to note that privacy is "selectively revealing oneself to the world", and Zaps are only useful if they are revealed to the world in some fashion.

But definitely a huge issue that you have to link an LN node with static pubkey to do Zaps in a non-custodial fashion ATM.

You can spin up a CLN with the zap plugin and isolate its publey just for zaps

Zaps are a week old; better/easier support will come 👍

That sounds promising!

What Zap plugin??

Check #[5]’s github; there’s a repo for the plugin

Ah, yeah the standalone script

I don’t see any point sending zaps from my node, I’ve been using Phoenix so still non-custodial. Also using Alby to receive LN payments. These aren’t large amounts of sats so I think the using some custodial servers to receive is ok as it adds a lot of convenience
