Open stories, click on zap, zap fails, notice it's a new user, reach out, help them create an Alby account, help them setup Amethyst, zap again, things work. Receiver is always impressed and now holds Bitcoin for the first time. 🚀

been there done that ⚡
Does stories just pull images and video from global?
Primal .net also use alby to active register and only for mac
Took me a little bit to figure out how to set up Alby and the whole purpose of it but well worth one tap zaps.
When async payments are implemented, it would be theoretically possible for mobile wallets like Phoenix to provide a static invoice (with blinded paths, etc.) to receive zaps on. It would only require an LSP for a non-custodial assist, but otherwise would be self custodial.
The main hurdle is accumulating enough pending zaps to fund a new inbound channel (approx 10,000 sats / $3 today).
Maybe bootstraping precoiner users will always have to be custodial, but with a path to self custody.
👏👏👏👏👏
