Ok, I have another stupid question. #asknostr
You know the notes you can add to lightning zap payments... What protocol does that use?
This is definitely a stupid question, but I also don't know why.

The answer is the lightning protocol, isn't it?
Is it?
Does it use nostr?
How does it show on nostr?
No I don't understand anything.
At all
Yes it uses lightning. I'm not sure how lightning payments on nostr work, presumably it looks up in the nostr profile the lnaddress and then your wallet makes a payment to that address.
Then they call it a zap because, nostr.
But the note you can attach to a zap, that also appears in Nostr clients. Is that a 'note' in the same way a post on nostr is a note? Or is that another note that just somehow appears here?
Here is some reading on it:
Yes they are kind of nostr note.

What are Zaps?
Learn about what Zaps are, how they work, and what you need to use them on your Nostr client.
The memo field?
I'm pretty sure you can add a message to any lightning network transaction because my wallet of Satoshi would show me what was written in zaps when I was using that to receive zaps
It’s a kind 9734 event.

Maybe different wallets call it different things?
