well pretty sure i coined the term shotgun kyc and the nuance matters, its strictly better to be upfront about it then lock users in and force it on them doesnt seem possible to ship a self custody wallet that accepts small zaps but we may move to spark or something like that when the tech matures, its a priority but dont want to rush it and have users lose funds

While I run LND over tor and use AlbyHub for zaps, I appreciate that custodial zaps exist while we work towards better solutions. I'm still unable to receive zaps because that requires LNURL and doesn't work with onion services, but I think we can eventually work this out and have fully anonymous, self custodial zaps

I don't want my nostr social media app to come with built-in money transmitter, NWC is tha feature.

Now im seeing why you "coined" the term, usefull to have good KYC and bad KYC now.. Clients should not even try to be wallets, thats one more point of failure, much easier to build the connection bridges and let wallets do their job I understand money must come from somewhere, but with that you are selling data like big tech does, to get funding with the KYC that users that dont do what you said and comply, give to you, interesting.. If you believe your product is really the best, why use short cuts and say yes for VC money? Long term preference remeber?

What if your Client or customer is bad guy .. then what ? Whose fault is that ? The vendor who refused KYC policy or the customer ? shotgun kyc is when the info is asked after you deposit, holding funds hostage the wallet is optional, you can send and receive zaps on primal without it you can also use any other nostr app by simply copy and pastin
