Can you zap with it? I can't tell.

It mentions paid nostr relays and settings for monero so I suspect they have some way to communicate if someone paid the relay but NIP-57 is only about zaps on lightning, so no idea how they want to show zap amounts on notes.

If clients are requesting blockchain data for receipts, then I think it would compromise the privacy of the payments unless you configure to ask your own node.

I don't see a way to do this though so showing zap amounts works completely differently or not at all.

@elvismercury @ek it just does simple tipping right now, if there is an XMR address in: bio, profile metadata, or in the note, the monero button ligths up and you can click it to view the qrcode, select a tip amount, click a link to pay in wallet, etc

Some places are still called zaps yeah but I wanted to figure out a way to actually do XMR zapping where it's shown on nostr, kinda like how xmrchat.com does tipping, but afaik there's no way to prove the tips are actually real unless you get their view keys and it compromises privacy, so not sure how doable it is

The paid relays are different because you run a monero wallet in the server so as soon as you receive the payment their pubkey is whitelisted to write in the relay, anyone can read, so that's simple to implement

there's no way to prove the tips are actually real

fwiw, zap receipts on nostr are also trusted, see Appendix E in NIP-57:

The zap receipt MAY contain a preimage tag to match against the payment hash of the bolt11 invoice. This isn't really a payment proof, there is no real way to prove that the invoice is real or has been paid. You are trusting the author of the zap receipt for the legitimacy of the payment.

I think this is a pretty big flaw but not many seem to care about it, are unaware or there's simply no way to fix it in a decentralized manner.

yeah I remember once there were people creating fake zaps of billions, I don't know how it was fixed or if it was at all because I never saw it again, I didn't look deep into it

I know some guy did create BCH zapping but I guess it's easier if it's already public and non-private
