This is probably for employees only at this time as my cash.app Lightning address does not have Nostr enabled.

You can still zap it just fine. Just no receipts.
Then you're not zapping. You're sending a Lightning payment. There's a difference.
Negative ghost rider. A zap IS a lightning payment. They're the same thing. A receipt is only one part and not required. A zap is, I hit the lightning bolt on nostr and you get sats.
You can agree to disagree but this is science.
Happytavern didn't have receipts for the longest time but I had my lightning address there. (I wrote my own lnurl server to work with CLN) So for a couple months you mean to tell me all those sats I received from nostriches weren't zaps? I think they would disagree. I think they would say they were zapping me even though they didn't get a receipt.
Anyways, I got zap receipts working on my implementation now. So in your words I can finally get zapped! If you run CLN and have a domain, I'll be updating the core-lnurl codebase to have zap receipts too. For now it's just stuffed into my website codebase. They're both open source on my github 😘
Zaps are Lightning payments but Lightning payments aren't zaps. Without Nostr integration, it's just Lightning.
Gunna have to disagree man. What do you think nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpzdmhxw309aex2mrp0yhx5c34x5hxxmmdqyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnvv9hxgpywa92 you wrote the spec, settle the debate!
You're allowed to be wrong. It's an open protocol 😁
I won't die on this hill... But I will struggle for a good bit. But I think it's just like... an opinion man...
I think I'm going to die on this hill.
The line has been drawn.

Well if you die, then I'm the victor! 🫂
Bitcoin existed before Satoshi. He just put all the pieces together and gave it a name! That's why it's a quasi "discovery" on top of an invention. I'm just rambling now...
rambling is one of my favorite pasttimes :)
i have heard this argument about bitcoin existing beforehand, but i don't know if i fully am on board with that either. all of the tools existed, all of the puzzle pieces were there, but someone had to craft it into existence.
A zap is just a query to an lnurl server for an invoice.
I understand this, but it's not Zap enabled. They're not communicating back to Nostr.
Just a receipt. A receipt is not required for zaps.
Then it's not a Zap. We had Lightning payments in 2022 because Lightning addresses were on profiles. We didn't have Zaps, integration of Nostr into Lightning addresses, until approximately February 2023.
This is like Stacker News and Orange Pill App saying Zaps for Lightning payment after nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpzdmhxw309aex2mrp0yhx5c34x5hxxmmdqyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnvv9hxgpywa92 invented them because it's a cool and fun way to say it.
It's an affinity scam.
I think zaps existed before NIP57. nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s just gave it a name.
TIL
zaps is a great name...
If I use someones nostr lightning address to fetch an invoice and pay it, is that a zap? Or is it only a zap if the LNURL server provides nostr support and receipts? Because in my mind if I make a successful lightning payment to a nostr user, that's a zap regardless of a receipt. But correct me if I'm wrong.
a zap is a receipt note on nostr (nip57), you're describing a regular lightning payment.
So the receipt is the zap and not the payment.
Interesting.
