Currently the auth types are all separate service-side, so users have had collision by not knowing which they used or issues upgrading from LNURL. Nostr auth is also still kind of half-baked because people expect to import a key and have us use existing stuff from their Nostr identity.

Moving all these to an intermediate nsecBunker-like thing would let us unify auth for the video site such that its 100% nostrfied, but still allow for login with EMail etc at the bunker itself. A missing piece to nostrfication though is our SMART middleware so its a big undertaking.

We do have v4v monetization, not streaming necessarily though... I think due to HTLC limitations that's not very sustainable, but we might be able to thread the needle with some adjacent AutoZap rules based on how much of a video you watch.

For ShockWallet we use Lightning Pub (kind 21000) which has a larger scope than NWC, but we could probably wedge an adapter in pretty easily given it's all the same parts.

The vision with SW is a bit different though and flips it the other way around. You may have seen in screenshots/demos that we actually have StackerNews as a wallet source itself. (Using LNURL so I still need to submit an issue for non-expiring withdraw links to make it persistent).

My inclination is that rather than apps debiting for interaction, that wallets will instead manage custodial balances (budgets) for several apps. Wallet spends from SN > SN spending from remote wallet.
