I was thinking zaps can be used as a simple way to provide loyalty card cashback. If you build a loyalty card app and integrate nostr, you simply automatically generate a keypair for each customer to set up their account. Their purchase enters the system as a note with purchase details in a particular format. A bot can extract those details and adjust inventory on the back end. Then an autozapper can provide cashback/loyalty points directly on that purchase receipt. Customers then have a full purchase history and you have data for analytics. Would be curious to hear what sorts of implementations you have done and how they have helped your workflow!

Zap works thru a hard integration using two servers (bitcoind + lightningd) but it’s hard to run (800Gb) and has to be online aways (lightning). Nostr has a this “new” kind of network (websocket) mesh which I’m using to leverage the existence of those two servers inside #nostr using transactions as notes 📝 we can exchange using this new network. After we start using those notes to broadcast #bitcoin I’ll be able to integrate everything inside nostr, making lightning useless. Nostr is way more advanced than C++ sockets. Bitcoin will change a lot because of nostr. I’m a happy watcher/coder.
