Maybe there can be verified and unverified payments, and clients can choose to show both or only verified ones?
I think it will take time for podcasting 2.0 to transition and it’s great to support V4V however we can!
I've spoken to a few people about this idea and have had mixed feedback so I'm not sure it's the right approach - but I thought I'd share here anyway with the hope that it sparks conversation about the best way to represent payments for apps that want to integrate nostr for the social layer, but where the zap spec doesn't quite work for their use case.
The idea is a new parameterised replaceable event that can represent any payment in any currency signed by a semi-trusted provider which in most cases will be the app that the user is posting from.
I see two key benefits of this approach which currently are not supported by the zap spec:
- Payment Recipient Not on Nostr - if the user making the payment is on nostr but the recipient is not, it's still useful to both allow the payment, and be able to represent it as a nostr event. Especially for apps that already have a payments component it makes the adoption of nostr easier because they don't have to try and retroactively fit the zap spec into their use case.
- Multiple Currencies - it's also useful for apps that already have a payment component to be able to represent payments in any currency. This de-couples the onboarding to nostr from the onboarding to bitcoin + lightning - something that can still be encouraged but can happen gradually.
For Fountain / Podcasting 2.0 specifically all the payments use keysend so as far as I'm aware there's no way to create a zap receipt that conforms to the spec. Maybe we should just try and switch all the Podcasting 2.0 payments to BOLT-11 - but with BOLT-12 and potentially other payment mechanisms like ecash becoming more popular - is it useful to have a more generic representation of a payment?
Keen to hear people's feedback on this and whether there are any other ideas that might work?
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s would also be great to get your thoughts on whether there is a way to 'fit' keysend payments into the existing zap spec / general thoughts on extending it.
Unfortunately I don’t think the semi-trusted provider idea will work especially in a self custodial setup.
I don’t think this can be fixed for keysend, but with invoices you can use the preimage as proof of payment

Today I tried a new product by nostr:npub12u7xgzak939jlap3fnev05eky6d4ntwr4lrs03kgnnfd9njmtvrsr9jjmt which allows you to create your own ecash mint powered by a nostr:npub19hg5pj5qmd3teumh6ld7drfz49d65sw3n3d5jud8sgz27avkq5dqm7yv9p NWC connection. I made a mint connected to my self-custodial Alby Hub wallet in a few seconds and then connected it to boardwalkcash.com with a new nostr+mintconnect (NMC?) connection. My head is exploding right now 🤯
It’s not publicly launched yet but we can onboard you if you’re interested! Please send an email to support@getalby.com saying you’d like to try the new wallet
Or nostr:npub1zk6u7mxlflguqteghn8q7xtu47hyerruv6379c36l8lxzzr4x90q0gl6ef — didn’t mean to leave you off.
Yes, here’s the Github repository: https://github.com/getAlby/nostr-wallet-connect-next
It’s just something to think about. For now I’ve increased my meat, eggs and soft bones, and have reduced vegetables and am constantly observing. Particularly the impact on digestion, skin health, and energy levels.
The primary instinct of every living thing on earth is survival.
What is a rabbit’s primary defence mechanism? It’s escape.
What about plants (vegetables). They can’t escape. It’s mainly poison ☠️
So which one would you rather eat? And how much vegetables can one safely consume 🤔
Similar, yes. But you can run it anywhere: your own VM, any cloud provider, on desktop or a raspberry PI
Does anyone know a site where "The Bitcoin Company" visa prepaid cards actually work? and you still need to enter billing info including an address to actually buy something.
Looking forward to the day I can natively spend bitcoin without this BS
LNURL is completely separate from NWC. NWC does not know about or use LNURL
You can give someone a NWC connection with only make_invoice permissions. LNURL is not needed
