Couldn't we crowd manage wallets for newbies?
How about small "custodial" solutions, where we host wallets for a few people. Then there is no huge cost on one participant, and anyone who feels can give back as a way of hosting a few wallets.
With Alby going paid, nostr:nprofile1qqs04xzt6ldm9qhs0ctw0t58kf4z57umjzmjg6jywu0seadwtqqc75spzpmhxue69uhnzdps9enrw73wd9hszynhwden5te0wp6hyurvv4cxzeewv4eszynhwden5te0wfjkccte9enrw73wd9hsxv8qkt's nutsack will be even more enticing for new Nostriches. However, this doesn't solve all issues. In fact, it may even complicate things more. Users still need to withdrawal their nuts to a Lightning wallet so that they don't get rugged by mints. I still think the no brainer, easy to use, no KYC Lightning wallet eludes a lot of people.
Discussion
The benefit of this immature bad idea is:
That those people who can manage lightning with capability, time and patience can help lightning adoption on nostr.
So basically if you can "only" manage a lightning node, you can still help nostr to grow.
This is kind of like Fedi in a way.
