I'm no longer following complicated stuff anymore.
I'm a simple non tech wizard end user.
Unfortunately that means dropping a lot of devs as follows. I'm keeping like two of them on my list.
🤣
Literally what normal people hear when you talk about ecash, lightning, nostr 😂
We see it as some badass tech that should translate to sheer magic to normies. Sadly the normies can only see whatever Whoopi Goldberg tells them to. Therefore, most shit that actually matters and is wonderful is just confusing and scary to them.
Right. An njump.me link is amazing tech, but if I send that to a buddy he thinks his phone's getting hacked from the crazy looking link.
https://nosl.ink/ makes nostr links normie friendly.
My prototypical user is the grandma selling mangos for bitcoin on a Brazilian beach with bad internet.
I love your choice of demographic. That’s the correct target.
… using her grandkid’s old phone because she lost hers yesterday …
This is definitely the way
I hope cashu 🥜 works well in the future with mints extremely resistant to rugpulls.
At the moment lightning ⚡️ is terrible for normies. I try many wallets, there’s no one solution today. The „coolest” ones showed me „not enough” funds to what you want, I had plenty. „No path”, „channels good” not working, cannot close, cannot send to main chain. One non custodial works well, but too need liquidity to open channels. Custodial had the least problems. And then the new one works well but is expensive with liquid.
So lightning is unbelievably retarded today. Its either with some form of ecash tomorrow or liquid with lightning or Ark… Idk, but right now for a person that has life, lightning is just an inconvenience. It shouldn’t be how you have to interact with #Bitcoin in 2024.
