What about sending sats directly to a user in SN ? \ stacker news ~meta

Its like zaps but but you know who zaped you

Would be cool to charge sats for DM's, like vida.live

In the same way there's a fee for each comment or post here.

Directly? You can send to the lightning address e.g. AR0w@stacker.news , does that accomplish it?

I just sent you 10 sats via WoS to the above address, did you get it?

Yes and i only get : 10 sats were deposited in your account

The main reason for this is to know who zapped you if he want

I agree, knowing where it came from would be nice

There is (Issue #230) opened on the SN repo on Github for this:

Agree! DM’s would be cool too

This could potentially be interesting.

And scammy

Why

Most platform with DMs have scammers trying to phish.

Yeah, everything has pros and cons, but right now if there's a user only on SN the only way to talk to that person is publicly.

This is fine 99% of the time, but I'm sure there are some cases where you would like to keep information private.
