DM me your XMR address and npub. 
 Wasn't there a bounty for this since more than 1 year ago? 
 Anarkio made a web-based client prototype. Works, but isn't fully complete:

There is an android app that *should* be out in 2-4 weeks:

 Is there a way to verify that a "monero zap" actually happened, or is it like LN zaps which are totally trust-based and can be easily spoofed? 
 Good question 🤔

I'm not sure

@SimplifiedPrivacy.com Podcast is this possible to do in a trustless way? 
 @sommerfeld @SaberhagenTheNameless

The first question is what Monero we’re talking about, because there’s huge changes coming down the pipeline, I even heard “full membership proofs” discussed and layer 2 possibility from a few different speakers on Monero Talk podcasts and Matrix rooms.

There’s a couple ways it could be made trustless, but our group is not doing them.

Way 1) The server is running a Node and sees the tx.
We’re not doing this because I’m not the only one running a server, this will have random people also running it that may or may not federate.  So then Chainalysis would run them too.  They’d see a 1 in 16 chance, but with full membership proofs it could be trustless.

Way 2) zkProofs
We’re not doing this because you’d need an engineer that exceeds what I’m willing to pay to entertain random fucks for free

Way 3) When they do layer 2 in a year, the guy running L2 can run this as the node in way 1.  Which won’t be me for legal reasons
 
 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 Wait...wtf is rebel net ? 
 RebelNet.me is an instance of DegenRocket’s Spasm, a federated multi-key protocol, please see the link for more info 
 Awesome 
 Will you be open sourcing your server side key/payment address setup ?  
 Yes of course, it’s federated so if you run it, link up with us.

Here’s our front-end:

The back end is on DegenRocket’s github on rebelnet.me
