Remember that zapping inside SN is like playing kids with tokens. Paying outside SN to REAL life shops is something else... Some of the payments I did today for this thread, I did from another wallets not from SN, because people were sending me pictures of the QRs instead of pasting here the LN invoice code. So I have to take out sats from SN and send them to other wallets. Maybe someday SN will be a lndhub account so I can use it easily form another app as wallet for payments externally.
With this thread I wanted:
  • to onboard new merhants
  • pay to some stackers a beer
  • show the world we can do it

Mhh, adding a QR code scanner shouldn't be too hard and could thus be implemented faster than LNDhub
I'll create a ticket about this tomorrow if I don't forget. I'll also create one for the invoice details you mentioned if you didn't already create one :)
Maybe we should even name the options in the wallet send and receive instead of withdraw and fund?
@k00b, what do you think?

If you want! (per the usual, prioritize it among things you think will be high impact for the site ... it may help to imagine the pitchforks will come for you too 😄)
Personally, I think stuff like this is a great 'good first issue' or a 'do this one with a buzz issue' for someone. You and I should probably focus on the stuff that requires deeper context to solve.

Again
One thing is to send sats to a good cause initiated on SN, for something good that will have some practical end in life.
One thing is to zap 1000 sats for a meme, when you could just zap 10 or 21 or let's say 100 if you really like it. Yes memes are fun and we can create more engagement here. But that's not all about SN.
I think you get wrong my words: I am not saying that is wrong to zap on SN, but control your amounts. As you know, if you want a post/comment to be more visible, zapping one time 10 or 10k sats is the same for visibility. But if more stackers are posting 5 sats is more powerful than your 10k sats in one zap.
This is where many stackers still don't get it.

Yes, I understand you. Keep in mind that are many users here that see those shitload of sats and they get angry why do not get them, thinking that SN is an assmilking place.
With high zaps you can create a false impression for them that they can get easy sats.
No. On SN must be proof of work in order to get sats.
