we need less components in a zap not necessarily more.

onboarding new users is one issue, having reliable zaps another one. That's not only about reliably sending/receiving. but also about publishing zap events.

for that a nip-60 wallet does not solve anything.

maybe making the zap == cashu token transmitted through nostr, claimable by the recipient would solve something. (but that would then also require everyone to support cashu)

(btw. would be nice if mints always return preimages )

NIP-61 zaps fix this

This what #olas uses?

yup, afaik

Works great!

yes, olas uses NIP-60 and NIP-61, which is why new users can immediately receive zaps without jumping through a bunch of unfamiliar hoops

👏👏👏

zap == locked nut

One issue I'm running into when implementing this is that you need access to the locked privkey to redeem the ecash.

If the ecash is locked to a key that you encrypt with NIP-44 and store on nostr you run into the issue of many (most?) extensions not implementing NIP-44. If the ecash is locked to your nostr key then you need that privkey.

This kinda sucks for web clients that don't allow nsec login unless I'm missing something.

Yep, the problem I have is that the extension I use does not implement NIP-44

you mean a browser extension? what extension are you using?

Yep I use nostr connect

Which extensions don't implement nip44?

Nostr connect. Not sure about Amber bunker but I think FROST bunkers can't implement it.

Frost can't do encryption at all, but they are not widely used anyway yet, and probably won't be until encryption is solved. Amber does it iirc, nsec.app too

would just require every nostr client to handle it with an internal or external wallet and require every wallet to implement cashu.

which is btw. kinda why I still think every user should be able to be a mint. 🤔
