I know the guys at Alby are working on this issue. they suggested adding this to my PeerTube plugin's package.json for future funding.
"funding": {
"type": "lightning",
"url": "lightning:donkimberlin@getalby.com"
},
A zap is a direct payment from one user to a lightning wallet.
A boost is direct payment from one one user to a split block.
A boost will have as many zaps as entries in the split.
Zaps are to people, boosts are to a collective enterprise with an open contract for distributing zaps.
Zap's mostly use lnurl, Boosts mostly use keysend.
Boosts have significantly more metadata about the content being boosted.
I use it for PeerTube RSS feeds in the Lightening plugin. it's not a perfect fit but works. The main issue I see with using it for SN is that its current implementation is keysend payment focussed with the type 'node', SN Lightening addresses were lnurl only last I checked , so you might need to extend it a bit by using a different type. Still better to work within an existing framework rather than starting from scratch.
even more curious, it does show up if i search for it when not logged in to this account, but the comment doesn't.
Curious, when not logged into my account I can't even see this post.
guess spending SATs on boosting the post was negatively effective.
