I know we're early, and this isn't specifically about #nostr, but I feel deeply concerned that 99% of people using zaps are onboarded via custodians, transferring IOUs instead of actual sats. The current implementations with Fedi and eCash also don't solve this issue due to the inherent trust involved. Unfortunately, I don't have a solution or a better recommendation, but it genuinely makes me sad.

I run two lightning nodes. Only because I'm on the fence insofar as to the implementation. It's hard work. And has serious trade-offs. I can run a note on tour if I can stomach that unreliability. Or I can run one on clarinet if I can take the fact that someone knows my IP address is the location of a Bitcoin stash. Tricky. I think what's going to happen is we're going to see these protocols meshing together to allow consumers the best trade-offs possible considering both distribution and friction. It's going to be great.

I agree! The best will win! But running your own node is pain in the ass for the majority of people !
