have you seen how many people are new to nostr and the moment they join they get harassed with "i tried to zap you and I couldn't, go watch this 10 hours of videos so I can send you 21 sats"

welcoming people with confusing chores is the opposite of the original intention.

I'm not saying that's what's preventing achieving 1M users, but it's certainly making some novel aspects of nostr overly opaque and confusing.
