Joining of non-Bitcoin regular users of Nostr. They will not run their own Lightning nodes. But they do need a simple wallet that can use an escrow service. Make it easy for them to use Nostr's Zap.

The combination of Alby wallet and NWC is the most user-friendly wallet I have ever used. But it can only apply for registration now. LNbits just closed the mint. Also, wallet of Satoshi has been removed from the US App Store. Blue Wallet also removed its own lightning node service.

Have Lightning wallets, nodes, and mints all encountered legal risks from anti-money laundering and government censorship, so now no one wants to run a public-facing Lightning node? Will Nostr need a dedicated Lightning node and mint to run for regular users?

What do you think 🫡

npub.cash + Minibits it could be an initial solution

Bot telegram sats.mobi + Zeus there could be another solution

Lightning needs to compete with Visa/Mastercard "touch-n-go" like simplicity, in a non-custodial solution. Until not evolving to be a simple as that (without need to know anything about channels) its not ready for mass adoption. Maybe it will be a totally different solution for that...

Yes. Maybe the right solution doesn't exist yet. A different solution is needed.
