Alby requiring an invite is a bit of a hurdle so I no longer recommend them as often as I used to. I guess I have invites now so I can start back up again, but it's still a bit of a snag in the process.

I’m glad you’re diving into this topic. Literally brought this up yesterday with the team… we need a solution and recos, education for new folks. Not sure the right answer until Will builds his non-custodial in app wallet lol
It's a topic that comes up so often. For example, the people presenting at PubKey next week struggled for weeks trying to figure out an easy solution. We just don't have one, especially in New York where Lightning is the devil.
Did someone mention non-custodial in-app wallet 👀
Side project #50957 but yes eventually lol
Trail of thought nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s :
- Proper peer-to-peer zaps (vs LNUrl)
- In-app purchase of Sats to keep Apple happy and bring zaps back
Yea it does create some friction setting it up because of that, but it’s still the best option out there I think especially because of how well it integrates with nostr apps with NWC, WebLN, Nostr signing extension, and excellent liquidity and uptime so payments almost never fail.
I don’t love the “invite only” process but I simply don’t know of a better option considering what you get for the effort of seeking out an invitation.
