It’s true and a difficult problem to solve. People who are not willing to run a node must trust a mint or do KYC with a custodial wallet.

We’re working on an alternative with Alby Hub where you can share liquidity with friends and family, and they get a smooth onboarding with NWC which they can use in Damus or any app that supports NWC. We would love feedback if you’re interested in trying it out!
