In pursuit of our wallet plans, we just released the first stage of about three stages to that end. The changes likely won't be apparent to most using the custodial wallet, but should be a noticeable improvement to those using attached wallets for paying. We rewrote much of the code for paid things to be well suited to, and mindful of, non-custodial payments.
The most significant bits for non-custodial payers as of yet:
- when your payments for zaps and posts and comments are pending, your experience is nearly identical to a custodial experience
- we remember when you try to pay for things and they fail (so your work is not lost if the payment fails after you left the site)
- we notify you when paying for things fails
- failed payments can be retried until they succeed
It probably doesn't sound like a whole lot, especially if you're using the custodial wallet, but there's a lot going on technically to make this happen. Given how significant the changes were, and despite us reviewing and testing the heck out of the code, you may encounter bugs we didn't catch (@ek just reported some stuff with push notifications). Please let us know!

Maybe dumb question:
I'd like to play around with non custodial zapping through NWC and LNC. How do you select which wallet is doing the zapping?
You can't yet select a wallet just for zapping. If you have enough funds held custodially, we'll use those funds. If you don't have enough funds, then we'll use the attached wallet.
For playing around, right now, it might be best to spin up an alt without any money in the wallet, attach a wallet, and zap.
An alternative to spinning up an alt is to also attach a receiving wallet for autowithdrawals and set that to 0. Then you will always zap from your attached wallets. That's what I am doing and that's why I am marked as a freebie.
I use LND for autowithdrawals and NWC for payments using
nostr-wallet-connect-lnd.Got it. I'll let you know how it goes.
We do it because it's hard

That's dope.That's dope.
that's dope!
Please, kind Sir, explain to me, a simple pleb, how one accomplishes such masterful wizardry!
super and sub script.
im sure there is a generator out there to do this in a second.
I'm noticing custodial zaps are a wee bit laggy feeling.
It's also less optimistic for non-custodial zaps now. The modal stays open until the payment is done.
The optimistic response isn't working for some reason all of a sudden. It's an empty object when
updateis called.Found it: the optimistic response was missing a
__typenamefield so apollo was silently failing.Okay, zaps should snappy again.
Yes they are. I have also noticed a few failed zaps recently. This never happened before.
Want to know something easy that might seem insignificant but could have an impact? Try automating the 100k donation to rewards at the start of the day. Anyone, even a non-stacker, who visits the leaderboard will see the rewards and may be motivated to try it out. If you only give the 100k later, it could have the opposite effect. Non-stackers may see on the leaderboard that almost everyone is "losing" sats and conclude that it's not worth it.
Good rec. I’ve been meaning to automate it.
Love the proof of work. Keep building these amazing products, and I will do everything I can to recommend to my friends and fam :)
Really impressive work, guys. The under-the-hood stuff is often under-appreciated, but it'll pay off in the long run!
I have a question for @k00b and @ek. Several weeks ago, I connected two attached wallets for auto-withdraws and paying. I have connected the "lightning address/receive only/non-custodialish" for withdraws and "NWC/send only/non-custodialish/budgetable" for paying.

Since I'm not a tech guy and it's a bit difficult for me to understand all this technical stuff, can you explain to me with simple words if I would continue to use the stacker news with this method after you complete all the stages of the wallet plan?
One of the phases will be making the attached wallet system easier and clearer. NWC and Lightning addresses will continue to be supported.
Great! Thanks!
Impressive!
However, I'm not too optimistic for it can never be as smooth as it's with SN's custodial wallets.
It's won't be as smooth.

It seems that the indication of new comments is not working properly. It happens on posts that have comments from me.
https://m.stacker.news/37946
You mean after you comment, it shows?
I just noticed that the notification for new comments is not showing up on posts I've already visited.
ex: #593977
Nice catch! I didn’t even notice
I just deployed a fix. Hopefully, all is well again
Yes, the notification won't go away even after entering the post.
One of the next steps: save me from being a freebie just because I want to pay everything from my own node
this is sweet guys
coffee on me
Great job guys. Congrats on getting this shipped.
Nicely done guys. It’ll pay off down the line I’m sure. 👍
Congratulations. Good job
