 Yep, the WoS service to send the Zap receipt into Nostr has been terrible for many months now. It's even worse when it is from WoS to WoS. 

I am not sure there is anything you or we can do. It's their own service that seems to be flaky. 
 Thank you for your answer Vitor. I've already started to doubt myself haha 😁😅! 
 I wanted to zap you 111 Sats and now the Zap is pending 👀😅!
Everything ok with your wallet? Let me know. I'll try again later.

(Note to myself: Today is a really strange day 🤣) 
 Ah ok, the Zap went through 👌 
 It's a sign to try a new wallet 🤷‍♂️ 
 As I mentioned, when I zap with LNTipBot it's the same 😭🤣🤷!
Think I have to try Alby next time. 
 I think for the zaps case, if wos does does not create these zap notes, then it does not matter from which app you zap, it won't appear.

You could vote with not zapping wos users and letting them know that zapping wos does not work for you.

People not zapping wos wallets -> people moving from wos -> wos wanting to fix

Might not work though. 
 Yes, really have to think about how I can handle this atm 
 Hi Vitor - any ideas what might be causing this? Is it only a problem for WoS wallets on Amethyst? 
 No, I think it's on the service you run to send the zap event after the payment has been received. Lots of people never received the event. In the past, it would happen a lot between zaps from WoS to WoS. Since the payment receipt event doesn't to show on any other client, I think it is something in the service itself.  
 Service running behind cloudflare or other ddos protection? Clients trying to connect to service via Tor or other non-conventional connectivity?
