Oddbean new post about login | logout You can already do this with @AQUA Wallet. I don’t think many do it cause the fees are too high for small amounts like most zaps are. Min send amount for Aqua is 1k sats because it doesn’t make any sense to send payments for less than that amount.
You can’t receive zaps via Aqua can you? Send, yes.
Yeah, but I have no idea who’d want to do that. Min receive amount is 1k sats.
Who wouldn’t want to receive 1k sats? 😜 The problem there isn’t Liquid, it’s people being cheap fucks when they zap. 😂
people would just think something is broken cause most of their zaps would fail. i mean they can build it if they want. i just think it would be a waste of time.
The problem is that self-custodial lightning is too complicated for the average person. Custodial lightning wallets are imposing limits on transactions and balances that make them increasingly unusable for content creators. That relegates lighting zaps to a play thing and I think we see that in people’s behavior, zapping only 21 sats here, 10 sats there. It’s never going to be a serious competitor to other content platforms at that rate. Client UI can help people understand if sending a Liquid zap that a minimum amount of X is required. They can choose to send or not. I think it should be tried.
