To help spread Lightning usage, we should build a Lightning Network faucet where we all contribute sats and the faucet sends 100 sats to anyone who downloads a wallet and creates an invoice

Or they can come on nostr and get greeted and zapped.
Publicly listing zap cherry here, available to pop for the low price of a bunch of sats
what is the minimal amount? one SAT? or can it get fractional? .5 SAT? anyway, as someone who owns 0 bitcoin, just to receive and or send anything, will be enough to get newbies (me) to better understand. so if that reduces costs by 100x or more, i believe is ok.
also, the only crypto i did start use, understand and explore, were Nano & BANANO.
& no, i was not after memecoin. wanted to sell art, for low amount, ~$10, as did at street festivals.
so first looked at bitcoin, because only one heard of. quickly found speed and cost and complexity of transaction made it wrong choice for $10 art.
& found, WTF, 100s of other coins. somehow eventually found only 2 that could send/receive.
anyway, back to Nostr, which just joined, and feel the potential. my next step is figure out how setup my ZAPs. because i can see where it solves the $10, $100, any issues that started my learning.
so that is my newbie observation, hope useful.
Download the Wallet of Satoshi app and start there. Alby also has a good desktop browser wallet
on my trying to figure this all out, i did eventually find a faucet. & it worked. & i think i needed that to connect faucet to Damus. all good now
