 And that IS a curious gap. Have you tried restating Damus?  
 Right! Yes, restarted Damus. Reinstalled Damus. Hard restarted my iPhone. No dice zapping with @damus 

Imagine how much sooner the average person would have given up on this process. 
 Is there any sats in your Coinos account?  
 Make sure to put some sats in coinos 
 Dammit... I was hoping that was the problem. It makes sense, but it's irrelevant if you have funds in your account. Do you a Cashu account? That's another web-based wallet that offers NWC. If I were you, my next step in diagnosing the problem would be to go to cashu.me, create a wallet, authenticate with either browser extension or your nsec, and enable NWC. Plug the Cashu NWC into Damus and see if the problem goes away. If yes, you know the problem is with Coinos. If no, the problem is related specifically to Damus.  
 I did the whole cash.me thing yesterday but I can try again. It’s exhausting. Also interestingly, when I paste the NEC link from @Coinos into @damus it shows a relay connection. When I go into settings in Damus and click on zaps, the option to select a wallet includes a bunch of named one, not coinos, no NWC link option and a generic LNLink option - which doesn’t work either. 

Begs the question is there any documentation for any of this or is the new “freedom” norm trial and error via people who are willing to help? 
 What was the result of your Cashu test yesterday? Did you paste the Cashu NWC string into Damus? Was the same problem present, or were you able to zap with the Cashu NWC?  
 Same result. No zapability in Damus. I’m calling it good for the night. Thank YOU for your patience and help. I’ll try again tomorrow. 
 I'll be happy to continue helping you tomorrow when you're ready to dig in again!  
 ‘preesh as my kids would say. 
 Recent zaps via Primal 😉 
 Lol I was just about to report that I successfully received your zap.  
 Check out this screenshot from the @damus iOS app page. See the little zap icon that is missing in the empty gap I have in my Damus iOS app!!!!! @jb55 is this a bug? https://image.nostr.build/b715dc86099c5e8d594294634c13c176ae0bb7c40efdad1e6c2bc1d5ac772267.jpg https://image.nostr.build/33df47ae95ecf86c966c79ad05afaccd2f3e9d54ea0d42e04d71968406f5c9dd.jpg  
 Running the zap script? 
 Say what now?

 Wow. I think this is your problem nostr:nprofile1qqsqe8j7zlaa74277sw670p6r9n5njzgl8rer9n0xrawtexqfq8gwzcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7qg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0n4le4t! Follow the instructions and let us know what happened.  
 Shady script executed. No zap icon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://image.nostr.build/80165c9187ec346915778122da2e6cd7122eab1a29d8e5a082afdeaa532b7d15.jpg  
 I think you have to update your Damus confirmation parameter after you run the script. That's how I read it, at least.

 Run the script. Force close the app. Restart. Zap.

 Yeah, still a nope 🙁 
 Just lucky I guess. 
 Frak! 
 Helps to have that I have no freakin clue what I’m doing and just fumble through. Works 66% of the time every time. 
 NOOOOOOOO!!! I would bet my last sat that this would have fixed your problem. This is discouraging. 😔 
 Sounds like some deletes and fresh installs might be in order. That and I’m coming in late on this.. which wallet are we using? I’m using Alby. 
 He's tried both Coinos and Cashu.  
 I am not running Damus in test flight (beta) rather I am using the iOS App Store version. The script when I run it does not toggle to 1 is stays at 0 which tells me it is not flipping the bit to toggle the icon back on. 
 And isn't the script intended to be a workaround to App Store's restriction on allowing zaps? That implies that it's intended to work specifically to the app store version. I would try deleting the app, reinstalling from the App Store, running the script again, and seeing if it works. If not, delete the app you have installed and grab the test flight version and see if that works.

 Yes. Should work for both. But would definitely start fresh. Takes two minutes. 
 For shits and giggles. Deleted Damus app. Did hard restart of iPhone. Download Damus from Apple App Store. Re authenticated. Run the script- result =0. Restarted Damus. Still no fraking zap icon. 

You lads are awesome but I am so done for tonight.

 Damn. Tongue has to be on the right side of your mouth.. forgot to say. 
 This is one of the reasons why I hate Apple. When it works as intended, everything is great. But if it requires some special configuration, or special steps to work properly, it just doesn't work. And they lock their products down so tightly that there's almost nothing you can do to finagle it.  
 That's crazy. Given that you've tried with two different NWC strings, I think you have to pursue Damus as the source of the problem. Maybe there's some bug. Hopefully, nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqcu9929 can take a look and shed some light on the situation. He'd be the best person to ask at this point.  
 If I remember correctly, the only way that Apple would let @jb55 get Damus onto the App Store was to remove the zap icon just like in the above photo in the thread 
 That is correct. If you are on Damus Test Flight, you can run a script to reenable zaps.

 This is for all Damus users. Not just test flight anymore 
 Correct! 👍
