Ya still waiting for my first monero zap ever. Everyone loves talking about monero but no one likes using it. Meanwhile the bitties flow freely on a daily basis.
Monero folk are using the feature pretty heavily now even with the feature's second class UX compared to zaps.
And I think the fiat support in Payment Targets (CashApp, Paypal etc) is a good feature for normal non-crypto people to be attracted to nostr. That has potential to catch on later and retain more people arriving to nostr.
Expecting users to run a server (or worse, use custodial payment software) is an infinitely worse UX than having users leave the app to make a payment in my view. And I can't imagine nostr apps shipping full fledged Bitcoin/Monero/Eth wallets ever, nor ship "deposit fiat and send it to other nostr users." My view: leaving the app is ultimately the best tradeoff.
It may not have worked well initially for Bitcoin payments as it was originally implemented, but I think a flow modeled closer to zaps but generalizable for any payment can definitely succeed, at least for sure with Monero people. I drafted a spec here that I think is extremely easy to develop on both nostr side and wallet side, and could land on a nice UX:
You're still waiting cuz your notes suck ass 😉
You suck my ass... stay on topic clueless one.
Exactly that's the kinda shitty content I'm talking about that won't get you any Monero 😉
But maybe if you keep e-begging it might work out for you?
You dont need notes to zap. You can zap anyone. Shitty notes and good notes. The bitties flow daily, the monero seems dead. If you guys stopped being so gawd damn selfish maybe monero would be more widely accepted and the norm.
Exactly you suck ass.. paddle along
The bitties flow daily...you seem to forget.
You so smart. You smarter then everyone here. Everyone can clearly see that.
Monero guys so fking smaaart. Definitely the big braaiiins of nostr.
Damn, imagine what could have been if the Freedom Convoy had taken donations in Monero. Instead the Bitcoin ended up getting seized and a ton of people's lives got destroyed.
Na.. the truckers were handed envelopes full of btc and they still have it.
There is no monero. You smarties pants are too gawd damn cheap to give away 1 satoshi.
And yes you are right some btc got seized as it traveled through companies amd corporations. If youhad send monero through coinbase it would have gotten seized too.

wen nip-57 v2?
No one would know who donated to the truckers. People could donate without fear of having the donation publicly traced.
There would also be no connection to the donation once deposited. Only that some trucker is depositing a large sum.
Then donate. Start today. Its never too late to start donating. Btc people stepped up. Monero people did, well I dunno what they did.
Im new to monero
I'm telling you what would've obviously helped materially in the moment for when inevitable future similar situations arise in the future. Toxic maximalism is kind of like chopping your own cock off.
And once they got big pile of monero what then. They gotta go spend it. They gotta show there face and identity. The stores gotta accept. At this point its about the same if you have anonymous btc or monero if they just start arresting the store managers for dealing in illicit currency. If they hadn't broke up the trucker camp tens of millions of dollars worth of btc wouldv started to flow in and thats not a good image for the globalists on mainstream media.
This is a roleplay robbery.
Sounds like everyone is paying for iOS being a restricted annoying fuck.
Web clients can talk to extensions and shouldn’t Android apps be able to communicate with each other?
1 tap zaps are really cool for the same reasons Amazon’s “buy with 1 click” drove up sales.
I accept that the receiving side is messier and it was going to be challenging to use that money either way.
The donor side is a different story. From what I recall, people had their bank accounts closed just for donating. Monero absolutely and obviously does help there. It's just silly and frankly retarded to try to pretend otherwise.
monero zaps don't make any sense though
They donated with fiat. What do you expect?
For Many people they didnt even see it or care that bank accounts got frozen. The mainstream media had everyone convinced if you didnt get the vaxx you were a terrorists. Im sure Many of the general population sheep were glad to see frozen bank accounts. Narrative trench warfare.
unless its giftwrapped or something, that would be cool
Of course monero would have helped. But I say it once again. The btc people stepped up and helped. What did the monero people do?
They do make sense: both the sender and recipient's other payments are protected by Monero's privacy. Monero people want to show appreciation for specific notes also. Monero gives good privacy by default out of the box when sending the public zap: only the clearly public thing is public.
Basically, we wanna flex too brah
Weird flex
You're the one who keeps saying Monero people are selfish, dawg. Monero zaps would show you point blank how huge our dicks are.
Whatever. you keep bringing up dick and ass.
Yes

Hey bud its all good. No hard feelings. I cant wait for next freedom convoy and monero can be tested alongside bitcoin. Im sure it will work.
Set up your zapper and il zap ya.
Haha I'll let you know if I get around to it 🤝
Absolutely. 42 satoshis is generational wealth.
Its not. Get your shit together. Your confused.
Fck I gotta love you guys. So persistent, so much friction. Monero this momero that.
One tap zaps are the ux standard. Once you try it, there is no going back.
