What are the implications of profile only zaps? Besides the extra steps needed to complete a Zap, this cripples the entire Zap experience because Damus users that choose to profile Zap will not have those Zaps counted towards the individual note's tally. The value of a note will be perceived less than it's true value. The note creator will no longer be able to have a live indicator of which of their pieces of content is valued most by their followers. Zaps are a form of feedback and this is now being robbed from all users on Nostr. We can all still Zap and the value is still there and received, but the feedback functionality of Zaps is now hindered.

What if the lightning wallet were to let you zap sats by pasting in a #Nostr noteID? They would probably be anon zaps, but better than zapping the profile. nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq

Hmm. The Zap would then come from the wallet and not the user as the wallet cannot sign a transaction for you. But that would allow the Zap tallies to grow if the wallet was doing the Zapping with a copy and pasted noteID. That's a lot of heavy lifting to do though. It's probably not worth the effort.

Oh got it, bc the zap is a signed event. Even anon zaps?

Anon Zaps still update the tally count so they need to sign some sort of transaction, but I'm not certain how they stay anonymous. Someone else will have to chime in there.
