This sounds great. And you never know they may just go for it, you’ll never know if you never try!

They don’t allow you to link to outside sites for payments if they would consider the payment an in-app purchase. I think the best solution is making the profile picture the zap button, and, unfortunately, not showing zap counts on notes.

There could be an auto onboarding dm from the damus account explaining it 🤷‍♂️

Isn’t that pretty much exactly what wallet context is? A “zap” is just an event that another service reads and sends a lightning transaction on your behalf (after giving it permissions)

Or just boycott apple and support companies that allow people to enjoy simple features.

What’s the rational from Apple to allow zaps on profiles but not on notes? I suspect that any attempt to circumvent this tolerance will lead to a stricter interpretation of the in-app purchase rule.

There are roughly 1 billion people using 1.8 billion devices using iOS. We can’t simply ignore them.

I understand but we have to draw a line at some point or it won’t stop here. Instead of bending the knee to apple, they should bend the knee to their customers.

This seems to be cool workaround. But we should have to think about workarounds like this in the first place. I understand Apple's reaction. Things like this can make or break their empire. In the same way that RFK Jr and Trump won't be allowed to participate in the presidential election.

First find there weak spot... Give tho wo greed, the silver?! Isn't it always about money, and a valid deed to gen rev from initial platform invest? Offer 1%, 2 ... n% of zap to 🐛🍏 and on🚢 board them? Show a message * that zap would have been untaxed on other platform*. If they still refuse, you know it's plain censorship, and can start a valid shitstorm...

I want this

Sure, but you can choose to not use iOS devices. The thing is, we can’t 20% of the world’s population. I think we should promote a campaign for apple to be forced to allow alternative payment providers and alternative app stores. Until then, we can try and navigate their complicated contradictory rules.

Just keep building endless iOS apps, endless Android apps, endless web apps, endless PWA’s. Build endless web services and endless desktop services. Doesn’t anyone get it yet? Nostr is a social media hydra, it cannot be killed, you cannot be banned, every entry route in leads to the same accounts, the same followers, the same network. The more access points nostr has, the more resilient it becomes.

lol you’re right but this is a campaign against Apple and listening to their customers and eventually a challenge against the state Zaps and Zeus are warnings signs for our digital freedoms.

The apps aren’t the destination, they are doors. The new protocols are the destination. Build as many doors in as many places as possible, if they barricade some doors, just build more. Eventually everything will bleed into the new protocols.

it’s cool to have the businesses in your corner though when the government challenges the protocols very existence and its use cases

Boycotts are more effective forms of campaigning

Just build more is not a sustainable strategy. Time and money are limited resources. Work smarter, not harder.

The business is government captured anyway so it’s not going to put up much of a fight. How much apple stock is owned by the likes of blackrock and vanguard? I imagine a lot.

It sounds like you are proposing something like "zaps" (or positive reactions, whatever it may be called) as nsec-signed promissory notes (or alternatively, "votes") which are then redeemed by a separate, loosely coupled service attached to a lightning wallet. This would replace considering "zaps" as instant direct micropayments for "content". It's certainly a lot of indirection and added UX friction for what should be a simple feedback mechanism, just to work around one company's insistence on being the middleman. On the other hand this might create some interesting possibilities of many-to-many value-xfer streams. For example: • funds are paid into a multisig wallet • the wallet owners register approved npubs who can endorse • these npubs "endorsement zaps" are tracked and funded automatically (maybe up to some limit) • or alternatively there could be some sort of periodic "top 10 most endorsed" funding or some similar popularity prize • these wallets could be perpetual micro-Nobel committees, each formed by affinity groups, foundations, whatever sort of group of people who want to pool funds
