Nostr Web Client

I spend a lot of time in the asknostr hashtag helping folks out. Absolutely one of the most common pain points is figuring out how to both send and receive zaps. Usually, they will have their lightning address in their profile so they can receive, but they haven't yet connected their wallet to be able to send.

Or else they are Primal users who set up the integrated wallet on mobile and are wondering where it is on the web, or why they can't use the same balance on another Nostr client, or they forgot to add the lightning address to their profile...

The friction of getting set up for both receiving AND sending zaps from the same wallet can be exceptionally frustrating for folks.

Meanwhile, NIP-60 eCash wallets can completely alleviate this. Log into a new client? Don't have to set anything up. Your eCash is already loaded and ready for zapping, locked to your npub so it can travel with you from client to client. And even easier for brand new users. The client can add a lightning address for a default mint to their kind 0 profile at the time they onboard and they can immediately send and receive zaps.

Hello! I just installed Nostr client on my handphone because I read that it was a decentralised version of twitter with less fascism. So far, it looks good. But after reading your post, here are some things I don't understand:

* Zaps

* Lightning address

* Npub

* NIP-60 ewallet

All of this is techno gobbledygook to me. Do I really need to decipher all this stuff to chat on a social network using my handphone?

i’m going to create a fund to grant a collection of nostr clients and adjacent technologies to work together on a comprehensive vision to focus on public/private communities, commerce, and ai.

much better than creating my own client.

more soon.

Today I ate two Nasi Jinggo's for breakfast. One had shredded chicken and rice, the other eggs and rice. Both were spicy and delicious. Total cost for two small breakfasts (or one big boy breakfast) was 14000 Indonesian rupiah. Which is about $1 USD.

Unfortunately the roadside hawker stall did not accept crypto or credit cards, so I couldn't purchase my breakfast in rural Indonesia using my crypto assets. But not to worry, they did accept QRIS, which is a QR code ewallet payment method, linked to popular "everything apps" like Grab, Dana and Gojek. So I was able to top up my ewallet with a crypto visa card, and then purchase Nasi Jinggo from a street vendor in rural Indonesia using QRIS payment. It's an extra step and there's a fee (about 12 cents) but I bought a rustic Javanese breakfast in rural Indonesia from a guy who's never heard of bitcoin, using bitcoin. In a slightly roundabout way. But that's pretty fucken WILD imo.
