There must be a way to keep them. Maybe a web version. #nostr #damus #zap

Still can’t believe Damus is being forced to take zaps away.

Not seeing it on #Amethyst

I will continue to support damus iOS for the forseeable future, but to do things such as zapraisers and zap-to-unlock, i will need a different platform to build on. This is why I started an alternative, cross-platform client back in december that works on linux+mac desktop, android and web. This should also be the fastest client, it uses rust and low level graphics apis.

Building a client like like this is much more difficult, but will be worth it in the long run. Damus iOS will continue to be where I spend most of my time, and we plan on making it the best iOS onboarding experience for nostr, but if we’re going to build a new circular economy for bitcoin in cyberspace, the apple appstore isn’t the place for this.

Finally back to building today

I can’t help but be brutally optimistic about the future.

Damus will be removed from the app store in 14 days, apple says zaps are not allowed on their platform because they *could* be used by content creators to sell digital content. This is right before I’m about to give my talk at the oslo freedom forum on how decentralized social networks with lightning integration are bringing financial freedom to the masses... pretty sus… 😕

This would be a watershed moment: If people can’t transact freely p2p on their platform, this has huge implications for the entire ecosystem of apps with lightning integration and v4v.

Please explain how to install such an app on an iphone

How doy ou then install on an apple device? It's not like android where you just execute the apk.

Zap counter would still count event zaps from other clients

This is genius. I have to laugh at Apple if they’d approve this though without seeing how stupid their policy is.

The number of people who contacted me today offering support (even from within apple) has been absolutely staggering. There are nostriches *everywhere*. We are going to win.

I wonder if inline invoices are allowed?

Turmoil has engulfed #Damus. The taxation of zaps between sovereign individuals is in dispute. ✊

Steve Jobs would have allowed Zaps.
