Zap receivers are looking into ways to limit that.
Here's a thread from BTCPay: https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/discussions/4642#discussioncomment-5074094
https://www.host4coins.net is also a good option
Broke: Con men gaming your trust (risky and expensive)
Woke: Scammers on YT buying likes and followers (cheap)
Bespoke: Scammers on Nostr wash-zapping (zero cost)
Already have one ready.
You click the like button, bot sends the sats. All clients supported.
Pending Umbrel app store approval.
Private zaps already exist, they're called LN tips
Same sats flowing, no zaps record of any kind
Yes, intermittent.
Most likely due to Cloudflare: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003011431-Error-525-SSL-handshake-failed#525error
KYC links your fiat ID to sats sent or received.
Zaps link your cryptographic ID to sats sent or received.
Progress ⚡⚡⚡
Ah you mean LN tips, then its all good ;)
Zaps open up the receiver for DDoS, so adding that to your node is dangerous.
Playing with fire bro
Top three:
- use a different protocol than LNURL, or at least make it backeward compatible w. LNURL
- do not keep state on the reciever (instead, push from sender when payment is done)
- make it less about sats and more about PoW (cannot be fakked, cannot be wash-zapped, can be bought w. sats for low power devices where PoW is unfeasable)
1 and 2 will soon be technically trivial, with LN SDKs making it easier for apps to natively integrate LN (access to preimage, LNURL primitives, etc -- without switching apps).
There are ways to expose your LN node:
Via a (3rd party) LN Address bridge: https://lnaddress.me
Or self-hosted on a VPS: https://github.com/bumi/lnme
But if you have a VPS, you can also do a reverse proxy and have it expose any tor site to clearnet: https://tor.stackexchange.com/a/13884
Or even better, a very nice guide: #[0]
Zaps inherently have centralizing effects
One reason is receiver nodes are easy to DDoS: #[0]

Wrong link, I mean this one: #[0]
Only a few centralized LN wallets support zaps now + some web-based nostr clients.
It has a lot of hype, but also has a bunch of problems: #[0]
Simple plain LN is much better IMO.
