heh... yeah that's what I've found as well. I got lightning node running on my phone even. There's a lot of good wallets and node setups for different people and tradeoffs. Which is great!
Yet for now, this whole zaps system relies on all funds flowing through custody in an antithetical way.
A lot of people are probably losing privacy by the way they send sats on nostr. You generate an invoice linked to your identity, and send sats from a wallet that's yours. LN privacy already isn't perfect, and zaps broadcast a signed transaction receipt with both parties have verified identites.
And that kind of data is gold to a company like cyphertrace
