As I work on #nostr #safebox I am seeing some interesting convergence. For example I have implemented the two following commands:

$ safebox pay
$ safebox zap <nip05 address|npub>

Both commands result in funds being transferred to a Lightning wallet, but the zap enables richer options, via #nostr

Also, #nostr enables a more stable address that is signed by me, and I can switch the Lightning address should I choose to use a new provider. I also have implemented

$ safebox send <nip05|npub>

This command sends Cashu tokens via NIP-17 for a completely private ecash transaction. I am still thinking about rolling up this command into an zap option for a private ecash transaction

In the end, I see the ‘zap’ as the single unifying action to freely, privately,and when appropriate, publicly, transfer value via the #nostr network.
