If I receive a payment to my Lightning Address, shouldn't that trigger a notification?

Otherwise, my balance just increases, and I won't know that someone sent some sats to me from their own wallet (i.e., versus flipping some sats my way within SN)

Great, ... so there's now Youtube embeds on SN Posts, along with the earlier Twitter embeds.

But I can't post a .jpg or .png and have the image displayed when someone clicks the post. I have to do instead a Discussion post and then use image markdown (! [name] (URL) ) in order to get close enough to what image rendering for an image post would appear as.

Doing it with markdown instead is not a big deal, but then the Twitter Summary (or whatever they call it) doesn't display the image. For example, the Twitter Cards validator shows that SN Item #10459 will look like this:

https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1490243673518444545/CHfxXTRv?format=jpg&name=600x314.

So anyone including the link to the post in Twitter (and on Mastodon), doesn't get the image in the rendering of the post.

I suppose there are reasons for concern, ... a person could create a post with porn or something along those lines, and boost it, and that image will appear on the StackerNewsFeed accounts on Twitter and Mastodon as it ends up on the front page, and thus those following those accounts will see the image the person posted on SN, unfiltered (beyond what the SN WoT algo determines).

Thought of the day:

• when listening to podcasts we are generally calling it "streaming sats" to podcasters, because it's a continuous stream of money, so that makes sense.
• on SN the button calls it a "tip", which works, but the word imho doesn't make a justice to the sudden change of state of giving someone the value for their content. Also it's a bit overloaded with the "tipping in restaurant" situations.
• so I thought about using "to flick" someone sats. "I just flicked you some sats", "I'm always flicking sats to good creators"...
• the definition says "to flick" is "propel (something) with a sudden sharp movement, especially of the fingers."

I'm not suggesting we do the change in the UI, because to newcomers it's just more easy to call it "tip", but maybe it's something that insiders (instackers?) would use... :)
