Can I just point new users to rizful.com to set up zaps? nostr:nprofile1qqsf07zg4hxyccnkdp07fppxmetpfzru3fg6mgzx3nk8r7af8qnjjygpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skueqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsxj0y5x Or is it more for experienced users?

Seems more advanced
"Get a lightning node up and running in 30 seconds."
"Highly reliable for zaps"
I want it to be true.
It really shouldn't require an "experienced user". I'd say it requires enough technical sophistication to look at this page and not be terrified: https://rizful.com/get_on_nostr_today
It's not at all scary for me, but it totally would be for a complete noob. It seems really good for someone who's been using a custodial wallet, but shies away from running a self-hosted start9 Alby hub.
it's definitely a step down in complexity to a self-hosted start9 node. Many self-hosted lightning nodes are problematic because the protocol really wants an always-on and very reliable internet connection: https://docs.megalithic.me/lightning-user-vs-lightning-runner/the-lightning-node-is-an-internet-application
Yeah, I have two channels and one is actually to megalithic. My node is just running at home, but it's obviously not as reliable as a data center.
I see that the node gives you an nsec. Can you bring your own?
Yes you can bring your own nsec ... on https://rizful.com/get_on_nostr_today .... you can see "(If already have a private key, that's fine too. You can bring your own private key and still use Rizful.)"
Just use mini-bits.
I did for a while. It was unusable half the time.
Srsly? I have minimal issues and useally they clear up by clicking the resync
Yeah, the zaps would just fail constantly. I gave up on it and coinos and just ran an Alby hub.
The ZapReceipt spec is not trivial. There are lots of opportunities for things to not work well... and add to that the complexities of Lightning... it's actually a tortuous and complicated thing for a zap to actually succeed....

Yes. We run Megalith LSP and work closely with Alby.
