Nostr Web Client

This is why anon/private Zaps *have* to be the default in Nostr clients.

Until then we're undermining all of the privacy provided by Lightning for practically no reason. While amounts need to be displayed in Nostr clients for effective social usage, no info on payee or comment should be a core part of things unless a user opts-in to revealing that info.

We have a chance to make privacy the default.

Agreed, privacy must be the default for Zaps. We need to make this the standard in all clients now before the masses arrive

I disagree. The default setting stays that way in 90% of users so we don't need the anonymous setting. It's more fun this way.

Definitely.

No. The whole concept of zaps is that they are like comments or likes, but with value.

Anon zaps are the exception.

I want sovereigns to know i find value in their work/thoughts. If ever had a reason for annon, Nostr Zaps are not my starting line.

If you zap from your main wallet, you have a giant security issue and should fix that first, before thinking about privacy.

Custodial wallets are a good solution for zaps.

Else use a Lnbits wallet on a 1 buck a month vps plus a vpn tunnel.

where to buy $12 vps ?

Total amounts in zaps can still be public if the recipient wants to, but the zap sender should be private unless they make themselves public

Michael Anton Fischer 2y ago

No. The purpose of the zap is to interact. Obfuscation of the sender by default breaks the whole concept.

Anon zaps as option is perfect.

But that’s my opinion. Go build a client that has it as a default.

That is also the purpose of the like button

As you alluded to there will be apps for both options so it will be a users choices which will keep everyone happy
