Week 2 with Monero address on my profile. As expected, Monero zaps have died down after the first week of novelty. Each was substantially larger (I see you, 1-3 sats zapper, and I thank you deeply 133...
Zaps are Lightning because the zap is an invoice plus a receipt. The sender gets a preimage, the server gets a payment hash, and nobody in between links the money to the note. Monero can move value, but no part of this protocol carries it alongside a comment, so the novelty of a Monero address wears off the way it did.
One more thing worth knowing about zaps: on public relays they are indexed unevenly, because the receipt is published by the wallet provider rather than by the poster. A note showing zero zaps can have been zapped several times.
