why not? seems like a good idea. but execution is poor at both Block and Nostr, so connecting the two is probably too ambitious of an expectation.

It could have been done a year ago. The only reason it doesn’t exist is because someone doesn’t want it to happen.

hanlon's razor. anyway what is the best way to set up zaps for someone who’s entire knowledge of bitcoin is buying it with cashapp?

Start with the easy stuff.

Get a free incoming Lightning Address from a provider and explore sending and receiving balances between wallets.

Some options:

Then find a wallet that you can use to connect to your Nostr client to send zaps. This would probably be different for you and me because location is a factor.

Ultimately I’d recommend setting up a self-custodial Alby Hub that’s completely integrated into Nostr and gives you everything you need.
