with Catallax, I am primarily focusing on decentralization and an open protocol for this kind of bounty work. All the other options are centralized platforms (lightning bounties, etc.).
Nostr zaps are an extremely ergonomic solution that allows this protocol to be simple while still somewhat strong on privacy and easy to implement for a wide range of users. I am attempting to author a simple, base protocol that _others_ will extend for their own purposes.
If someone wants to use the Catallax event Kinds but use Monero for payment, I'm happy for them!
Ideally, the protocol wouldn't bake-in lightning or any other payment approach. as long as a payment receipt can be proven in the event, that's all that's required. Once I finish the first reference implementation I will have to take a look at loosening the lightning integration (if appropriate/possible), but for now it seems like the most friction-free path forward to get something in to the world.
