We’re working on an open communities spec at damus. one downside of lightning zaps is that they are not verifiable from random people, they are only verifiable if you trust the wallet that sent the zap.
I haven’t looked at the cashu zaps spec, but i wonder if you could you build a stacker-news like client where the community has their own cashu node? Then you could validate zaps against the community mint, enabling secure, Reddit-style top posts powered by ecash zaps.
Is this doable calle (npub12rv…85vg) ? I guess the last ingredient is making sure the ecash wallet swaps the token for the community you are sending nuts to.
Maybe ya’ll are building something similar at chorus?
