... and the lack of easy lightning wallet integration and the massive hurdle that is NWC - In my opinion, this is all way too complex and wonky for a normie, like me!
When I joined Noster two years ago, it took me less than five minutes to set up my Wallet of Satoshi wallet, and I was able to receive zaps and zap other people instantly. Yet, a few days ago, my NWC connection to coinos somehow got reset, and I cannot figure out how to reconnect it. Am I an idiot? Yes, but so are most normies.
Don't forget Wallet of Satoshi is banned in the US, so that's already a hurdle...
You’re not an idiot. It is challenging to do NWC unless you are conversant with web apps, and all the extras. Once I connected to nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm it was a real gauntlet to get the hang, which was on me, not Alby (their customer support is amazing, and their product is too, but maybe too advanced for casual users). After WoS got the diss in America and I had to figure something else out. If I didn’t love #nostr so much, I might’ve bailed. I am Coinos now and it is a delight.
