I was thinking that a new feature might be interesting for the forum. Is it possible to implement zapping (with lightning) on topics, comments and profiles' bio?
Move it to Meta board:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0At bottom, click Move topic, choose Meta board to move the thread.
I guess I’m not in the know because I have no idea what zapping is or why the forum would want it. If it’s sending tips, then this is a Bitcoin forum and I would think having a Bitcoin address is enough to do this. If it’s about patting someone on the back for making a good post, then that’s what merit exists for.
Lightning Network is offchain, not on chain and I think it is not priority of Bitcointalk forum.
Merit is for quality posts and if earned merit can be converted to forum internal currency, for tipping, then convert it to bitcoin, it's so interesting. I feel exciting with this idea but I know it can be exploited by merit farmers, fishers like in Wall Observers or local boards.
