It could backfire, but I feel like ecash / cashu / nuts / whatever you want to call it is an amazing way to market nostr.

A while back Cash App grew insanely fast on Twitter by having massive giveaways to people participating in their tweets. I feel this could also be done with nuts. In theory, you could hold contests where people join and get some nuts by participating in retweets etc... and by signaling they are part of the contest. Then, some generous Nutters could dispense a few nuts to all, or a giant GRAND Nut to a lucky one or few.. or a combination of both. It could be a great way to get the word out about Nostr and what it's capable of.

of course, this would require in-client nut wallets and a UX / terminology that makes it easy to understand (or not have to understand at all)

What are "nuts" ?

Like some sort of token?

Yes

Npub.cash

Would have to be able to easily explain why nuts have value and aren't just some badge or achievement

I don’t think we need to. We just use the same terminology people are already familiar with

Yes, I think in-client Nut wallets are the way to go, at least on mobile. On desktop I would be fine with a NWC type integration. But to make it easy for newbies it should be integrated.

We’d want them to see balanced right out of the gate without going to another website.

When people talk about Nuts I always need to think on Age Ice🤣?cid=6c09b952hotzaasjp9v4p2kpr6f9k1npn170ne9dzuapfef0&ep=v1_internal_gif_by_id&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g
