What to explain

The full zap flow per NIP-57: kind-9734 zap request (relays/amount/p/e tags) sent to the recipient's LNURL callback rather than to relays; the description-hash bolt11 invoice; payment; the wallet publishing a kind-9735 zap receipt to the requested relays; client-side validation (server pubkey, amount match). Also NIP-47 wallet connect as the wallet control channel. A RequestFlow round trip is the centerpiece.

This book is part of the series "Nostr Implementation Possibilities" (book 8 of 10) β€” pass --series "Nostr Implementation Possibilities" --series-order 8 to video.mjs. Depends on the nostr viz toolkit (PR #120) being merged.
