Nostr Web Client

alby hub and NWC are the two i use for this. i don't have to manage the server and its backups and uptime, but i can move funds onchain and into lightning and zap into my xapo account with very little time and very little cost.

alby has features to enable someone to provide access to a lightning wallet without them having to trust someone they don't know. this uncle jim functionality is the way forward, as i see it. one person with moderate skill at lightning/onchain bitcoin can now facilitate maybe as much as dozens of other people's lightning wallet use.

Uncle Jim on Alby Hub is a great tool for family and friends, and even nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q offers it to bootstrap wallets for new users, but I’m not sure how far this can scale, because it’s dependent on one point of failure.

doesn't have to scale much bigger than an immediate family and friends tho.

as the uncle jim gets more experienced the failure recovery will improve as well.

This is basically what I do now, but just for my immediate family. I’d rather show a friend how to run their own self custodial Alby Hub than ever manage their funds.

yeah, i'd probably go that way too. i have a lot of experience training people to use computers to do stuff also.
