To be the downer that I usually am, really hoping we have more self-custody Zap supported LN solutions before we jump up and down on how much more Zap capabilities we are adding to Nostr.

Last I tried, it’s nearly impossible to have Zap possible even if one runs a Rasp based LN node. There isn’t even a low effort solution if one runs their own VPS (which is centralized enough as its cloud based).

Basically 90%+ of LN doing Zaps are just one custodial solution to another, mostly Wallet of Satoshi.

Its not good and we don’t need more incentives for fully custodial LN adoption.

Nostr and Wallet of Satoshi amongst others needs to stop this non-sense. Take a look at Bluewallet as a role model. Have a roadmap towards shutting custodial Ligthtning down.
