This unique feature of Damus allows users to send small amounts of bitcoins to content creators through the Lightning Network, similar to Twitter’s “tipping” feature. Guide by allowing tips or “amounts” for content to be paid for in Bitcoin (BTC) instead of Apple Pay.
“Had to remove the tip button to stay on the app store. I will still build Damus on iOS as a vanilla Nostr client, but it you want to zap posts, apple says nah.” Damus App developer William Casarin.
This is also the reason why Apple wants the application to remove because Apple thinks of it as the equivalent of selling digital content but still allowing users to tip each other on a profile.
It started on June 13 when the tech giant threatened to remove it from the App Store for violating the company’s in-app purchase regulations.
Apple has been criticized by the Bitcoin community – among them former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey – with complaints that it is hindering Bitcoin adoption by imposing overly rigid guidelines regarding Bitcoin-friendly apps on the App Store.
