Subnostr

A question for Nostr devs:

Regular Lightning transactions have fees attached (small but they are there nevertheless) and they represent the incentive for running a LN node.

How are zaps going around in Nostr with 0 sat fees? Who is paying for the LN node fee?

Thanks for your responses. All zapped 😁

So if I understood correctly (I need to dig deeper into how LN works obviously):

- Zaps between WoS users should be free

- I zapped all three of you from Alby (so custodial to custodial) and the fee was also 0

- I then zapped #[2] from a non-custodial wallet and I paid a fee of 1 sat which was what I expected to see

Yeah, must be interesting learning both lightning and nostr at the same time. The lightning-ness and nostr-ness are actually quite separate, until you click the bolt and then it summons your default lightning app to open, and then it sends to the lnurl of the user of that nostr account.
