Thanks for your support. Apple has walled 1B+ users and we cannot get Bitcoin and nostr to billion people if we don’t have the presence there. I saw this comment in stacker news and it stuck with me for a while "I was never a big fan of Apple, however I do have a mobile that I used mainly due to convenience." I think this summarizes lots of bitcoiners who use iPhone.

Your should have NIP from current App to use the Current Relay.

it was for the nwc, it wasn't working because it was blocked?

No. Not on zaps.

So no tax at all related to zaps ? This is highly surprising. I honestly wonder why Apple changed their mind

We will release the details soon.

Thanks!

I don't think eBay or Paypal pays Apple 30% of money transferred either. It's not a commercial relationship between app(company) and user but P2P. I don't see why they could charge it.

That’s the whole reason why Damus had to remove note zaps, because Apple wanted the 30% tax on the zaps

Yes. It is. But optional.

Clever. 👍🏼

compliance bros in disbelief SATS are now in-app tokens and Apple is getting a cut when someone buys SATS and zaps a note on the Lightning Digital Entertainment app, what is actually happening here?

That’s not exactly true. Sats purchases are real sats inside current wallet and can be transferred to any other Lightning wallet. We will release all the details next week

sounds good, hope Apple updates 3.1.1 soon so other iOS apps know how to proceed if this actually holds, this change could be a BFD for every iOS app

normies wont be confused at all

Thats very unethical of Apple. They only allow zaps if they get paid.

It’s certainly distasteful.

Both IAP and subscription are optional.

For sure i think its great you offer this now. Apple is allowing zaps because this will help them make money it seems though. So their willing to let zaps slide.

it was always a fucking negotiation

Thanks Jeff, No guarantees in life…! Haha..
