Just wanted to share this little subtlety in the stacker news notifications when you get zapped from someone who also has an attached wallet. Itβs seamless and so awesome! Really excellent work by the SN team π

Look's like my guides are working!
Yes, I followed your guide exactly! Thank you!
Amazing!
Very helpful!!
Glad it helped!
Getting zapped has an amazing feeling attached to it. The system is awesome.
Zapped is one thing. The move to supporting external wallets seamlessly is next level
Indeed! Zapping is seamless. I just got zapped even before I finish replying the above post. Live is simple and easy with bitcoin. Indeed, fiat is slavery.
Can't wait for bolt12!
Which wallet are you using if you don't mind asking?
I am using NWC for both sending and receiving, pointed at a hosted Alby Hub
Oh good to know NWC works both ways now
With a private channel?
brave of you to reply before my edit timer ran out
Yes, private channel between my hosted node and SN.
And yea, Iβm rolling the dice 2x LOL
Which backend? π
Whatever Alby Cloud hosting spins up for you. According to the logs, it looks like they use LDK?
Those arenβt my zaps but it reminds me that Iβm probably doxxing myself with my zap patterns.
Thatβs what random is for haha
Edit: but yea, Iβve definitely learned some peopleβs patterns
I am still a "cowboy credits" maximalist. I will go further and propose a change in SN: make upvotes/downvotes only with cowboy credits and if the user want to send sats separately through a p2p payment that will be a separate thing.
I will repeat: will be too much friction with all these zaps back and forth between stackers. And people will realize later that I am right.
This will not age well
every satoshi will count. And when people will see that for a 10 sats zap will have to pay 1 sat fee, they will think twice...
Yes and consider to open a private channel
that doesn't help. And could create even a worst scenario: SN node could became a "watcher" of all these zaps. Adding more complexity in SN zaps will not make more people to self-custody. Some level of custody is OK.
We already know who zaps who or who withdraws where.
exactly. So why complicate things when could be simple with cowboy credits ? I could have much better privacy with cowboy credits than p2p zaps.
π
The non-custodial stuff is literally just an option. You can use cowboy credits if you want but I think most stackers would prefer to receive real sats.
However it goes, I still remain humble, stacking sats, and zapping seamlessly. Amen!
I resonate with this take, yeehaw π€
Yes, that's wright
