jb55 (npub1xts…kk5s) posts about Zaps⚡ deployed on snort.social web client. Support for custodial lightning wallets such as popular Wallet of Satoshi still to come. Damus support also coming soon.
zaps deployed on https://snort.social if you want to try them out 👀
no support on custodial wallets like wallet of satoshi yet, but working on getting the spec out today so people can start implementing this!
Wondering what "zaps" are? Here's a great tl;dr on them from verbiricha (npub107j…ncxg)
Is an extension to LN-URL pay that allows payer to specify a signed zap request (want to pay to this profile or note from this pubkey). On payment completed LN-URL server broadcasts a receipt with the request, invoice and payment proof to payer-specified relays.

Relay lag update from jleger2023 (npub1t9a…h4uw)
If you notice your Likes taking longer and new notes taking longer to appear in your feed, it's not NostrGram, it's the relays. They're lagging right now from the traffic. Right now I'm seeing an average of 10-15 new events per second going into the db. Given that most relays seem to run on fairly light hardware, that will bog them down. (Yet another reason to support paid relays with good hardware!)
Semisol (npub1226…grkj) announces paid relay Nostr-pub.Semisol.dev

There are Windows builds there. Would be nice if someone with a Windows computer tried them because I don't know if they work.
