Probably gotta use a Tesla coil.

Or you could send them over to btcsessions.ca/learn

Zap em 🤷🏻‍♂️

The masses

Summon Zeus

Cashu is probably better for the masses though, rather than full blown self custody lightning node

The ux for cashu still needs work. Nwc, lightning addresses, lnurl simplifies lightning usage. Probably a nwc for cashu would go a long way. The cashu in emoji had the right idea/direction

I think someone made that recently.

I meant the Greek god of lightning not the wallet 😂

Either way, still applies to Karnage's note lmao

I don’t see why u need cashu for this

You cannot onboard the whole world to self custody lightning with the way it works right now, there is not enough timechain space to keep making channels at the rate of births, if I am not mistaken. You need an additional scaling solution. Cashu mints are one such solution.

What, they’re all going to show up at once?

No, but they physically cannot all show up with each their own dedicated channels, ever, unless some major changes are made to Bitcoin technicals.

Zapathon every day

What is lightning? :)

We need a better Nostr onboarding. Maybe it's just me, and I don't know better, but tried with someone and they just saw a bunch of japanese and spam stuff and run away

They're NGMI. You have to connect with people on nostr to make it work for you, or be curious enough to give it a shot regardless.

But yeah the onboarding stuff I've seen is still very patchy at best.

Never let them see the firehose!

Global? Lol

boltcards

What's a boltcard?!? Hell, anyone have a url with a primal/nostr primer of sorts? Newb here.

Aqua Wallet would be the simplest way in a noncustodial fashion.

My answer depends.

Noncustodial: Make it less shitty

Either way, removing the tax requirements would probably help. More merchants accepting it. I would use Lightning a lot more in spite of the aforementioned if I actually could. Mullvad is the main subscription I can use it for. A couple others are Bitcoin on chain. Besides that, everyone wants fiat. I always get a chuckle when Bitcoiner companies or Bitcoin friendly companies only accept fiat.

Nostr is by far the most I use Lightning and I'm mostly doing that as a 'like' button. And I like spending the coin.

what kind of people? I think if you narrow it by your target audience, the solution becomes a little less vague.

everyone has a use for lightning but not everyone's use is the same.

Gamers and shoppers.

With simple custodial wallets.

When I need to buy something like food and I don't have cash, I ask a friend if I can pay them with lightning. Some says yes.

The easiest app I show them is Wallet of Satoshi: no login required, no id, no fees, and I tell them they can buy stuff with Bitrefill.

Wallet of Satoshi available in US yet?

I don't think so, but you can also try minibits:

WARNING: Minibits is experimental and the Mint might rug you, so don't put more there that what you can afford to lose in an experiment.

I would say once the user has some money he don't want to lose, then migrate to Breez, bite the bullet and pay the initial opening fee
