 Just fyi I tried a few different times to zap you and Damus said it couldn’t fetch an invoice. But when I connected with a vpn in a different region, I was then able to zap you 100 sats. It’s possible that some Nostr users can’t zap you depending on their region.

 Thanks for letting me know, and for trying to find a way to still zap me. I really appreciate your effort! 🫂

 Also depends on the wallet you’re using. Lightning is a standard but not everyone follows it in the exact same way! 
 Oh, did @ZBD put KYC on incoming #zaps? We had it working with @zapplepay a few weeks ago, maybe they cut that off. Kind of a shame to build something on open standards and then ditch the standards. 
 I have no idea; I don’t work for nostr:nprofile1qqsv73e7h6tndwngn3ccmc74auufpx722ldncw8rl8087hddljyw6mcpzdmhxw309ucnydewxqhrqt338gmnwdehv07p8s 
 I know, but I’m not going to put in any work to try to figure out how to zap the zebs. It’s not my battle to fight. 
 its geofenced. eg if you’re in FL, WA, etc youll get an error back when attempting to fetch an invoice from their ln provider 
 Heaven forbid someone in New York is allowed to send half a cent to someone in New Jersey. 
 This is what I assumed might be happening after my little imromptu trial and error test. I don’t understand why it matters where the sender is located since I’m not a ZBD customer/user. I am not bound by their terms of service. The nature of VPNs and the lightning network means that a sender could potentially be anywhere in the world, and the payment could route through multiple of their “prohibited” jurisdictions before it reaches the ZBD user’s wallet. Blocking outgoing payments is bad enough. Blocking incoming payments is even worse. I would not recommend anyone use ZBD for nostr and lightning.  
 Yeah, this really is the last straw. @ZBD became a shitcoin.
