For those Nostriches that were apart of the initial "Siege of Satoshi" #Zapathon which was a weekly targeted stress test on Wallet of Satoshi the vibes were high and purpose led to a thriving Zapathon experience.
With that said, #Zapathon was relatively dormant in the past 6+ months post Apple App Store zap denial with Damus and WoS moving out of US Jurisdiction.
Where there is outflow, there is room for inflow... In comes Primal Client / Wallet and Jack Maller's Strike "Black" wallet solution where they outsource their lightning technology to partners. Primal was the first to bat.
The Zapathon target today was Primal Wallet. Plebs from around the world zapped each other for 30 minutes straight and in the process SPIKED Alby zap statistics along with taking down Primal Wallet.
Make no mistake, this is a proper stress test and in the end, great for Lightning / Nostr.
With this said, Miljan noted post Zapathon - "Hey #zapathon enjoyers! Nice work overwhelming Primal’s infrastructure. Our apologies, the Primal Wallet is down atm; you can’t send or receive payments. You can just see your balance and transaction history. We are working to bring it back up, stay tuned.
Rest assured, we are improving the system and hope to be better prepared for the next #zapathon!"
This is a call to arms... Next Thursday / Friday 5:00PM EST we will SEND IT once again.
Zapathon thrives on purpose... and purpose we have once again.... Join the Fun!
PRIMAL IS NOT SAFU! :)
