Onchain zaps is the purest form of expression of the Nostr protocol. It's the first thing anyone thought when the read NIP-01. For years we're been living a lie. Look what that brought us. This is what Nostr IS. This is what Nostr HAS BEEN ALL ALONG. It it the TRUTH.

Sorry I read all the replies. I admit I still don't get it. Where exactly is the advantage?

What's this and how to get zapped?

So wait, the point of nostr is to kill Bitcoin now? Something about everyone sending 2 sat zaps on chain feels totally unnecessary and like it'll just bloat things more

Is it possible to create a mediator between the two forms of exchange? If people want it to be private but still want to have onchain fun, is there an option to load it as a play wallet and that adds some kind of layer or wall?

What happened to you dude? What are you doing? If everyone can see an account has lots of money, like they can see the transactions, then people will be incentivized to grift to get their nsec.

I think Alex is trying to drive people away from Nostr and Bitcoin

I’m waiting for the first person to buy one of my paintings using an on-chain zap. 🫂🎨⚡ https://isolabellart.it.com/

Cut back on the drugs buddy.

Turns out the ‘inefficient’ version was the real Nostr all along.

There are at least 3 accounts by the name Alex Gleason, I wonder if I am following the right account 🤔

When the spec actually said it uses the same cryptographic scheme as Bitcoin to create identities, I did think, "Ah, so it derives the same key into a Bitcoin address and uses it to send and receive money." Because I heared it's a Bitcoin native protocol...

Yknow what, privacy on bitcoin is doomed anyway. Maybe on-chain zaps are cool.
