when not rugging, custodial apps are quite pleasant
  • offline receive
  • receive small amounts
  • no need to manage liquidity

Why not?
Sure, it sucks to potentially lose money, but you can limit the amount you're willing to lose for these quite nice properties though, no?
I’m not trying to advocate for custodial wallets, but I acknowledge that their UX is unmatched by any non-custodial wallet.

Remember I'm 2013 class. We're here to remove intermediaries. That was in the whitepaper and that is what drives us. Peer to peer. Not peer to bank to peer. FUCK THE BANKS

SN is a platform where you spend sats and receive interaction. It is not custodial because it is not a wallet. SN is my counterparty, not whomever I "zap", because I zap something to make it more visible.
This probably goes fully against this latest release of k00b's work and I should just shut up.

this aligns with Darth's slogan: pay to post.
But it's not as simple as SN is the counterparty. You pay the territory owner (who pays SN) and SN.
Also you might pay (zap) the post or comment creator to encourage them to write more of such things.

No. I pay SN (check your lightning invoices)
SN just has a very generous revenue share agreement with posters, territory "owners" (sponsors) and the rewards pool.
(but like I said i should shut up so I'm not going further lol)

I am very sucky at reading LN invoices, but my mental model of this was that SN wrapped the invoice a little like Phoenix's LSP does for payments to Phoenix users. I'll check on this independently (respecting your reluctance to go further).

Thanks, I just don't want to be a pain in the butt to the SN team.

They have to deal with AI generated PRs. I'm sure any pain in the butt you might cause is like a tickle compared to that, haha
