For those Nostriches that were apart of the initial "Siege of Satoshi" #Zapathon which was a weekly targeted stress test on Wallet of Satoshi the vibes were high and purpose led to a thriving Zapathon experience.
With that said, #Zapathon was relatively dormant in the past 6+ months post Apple App Store zap denial with Damus and WoS moving out of US Jurisdiction.
Where there is outflow, there is room for inflow... In comes Primal Client / Wallet and Jack Maller's Strike "Black" wallet solution where they outsource their lightning technology to partners. Primal was the first to bat.
The Zapathon target today was Primal Wallet. Plebs from around the world zapped each other for 30 minutes straight and in the process SPIKED Alby zap statistics along with taking down Primal Wallet.
Make no mistake, this is a proper stress test and in the end, great for Lightning / Nostr.
With this said, Miljan noted post Zapathon - "Hey #zapathon enjoyers! Nice work overwhelming Primal’s infrastructure. Our apologies, the Primal Wallet is down atm; you can’t send or receive payments. You can just see your balance and transaction history. We are working to bring it back up, stay tuned.
Rest assured, we are improving the system and hope to be better prepared for the next #zapathon!"
This is a call to arms... Next Thursday / Friday 5:00PM EST we will SEND IT once again.
Zapathon thrives on purpose... and purpose we have once again.... Join the Fun!
PRIMAL IS NOT SAFU! :)
Zapathon is peanuts. Did you saw what SN is preparing? https://stacker.news/rewards This is STACKATHON !

I see, it's a stacking competition for seasoned SN vets. Gamifying is where it's at.
In regards to Zapathon being peanuts it was never meant to stack but yet a tool to gamify a stress test which has been superb.
The more games the better IMO!

Zapathon... where wallets crumble from a thousand lightning peanuts. I'm ok with that! :)

I love zapathon. These two things aren't related. Expect they both use Bitcoin and help people connect.

Glad to see it come back.

Let’s see if primal can adjust. I wanna give Alby a run as well. Been awhile since we broke it. 😂
