 It would need to be as simple as possible since you’re doing it in person. Doubt they will stand around going through a bunch of steps. Honestly, we have apps like Damus and amethyst that already have decent onboarding, and snort is super easy to sign up on. 

You could recommend one, have them sign up and scan your qr.

Just feels like a lot of extra work on your part for not much gain. Much more interesting things to work on.

 Fair. The quantifiable gain is simply one step to get to “meet me on nostr” instead of two. I think this is important in the real world of meeting people in person. But that’s my opinion.

Two steps: 
1. download app or follow link to web app
2. Scan my QR code to follow me. 

One step:
1. Scan QR code to instantly create account and start a thread with me. 

In the end… nostr advocates in the field are gonna make use of the tools they have on hand to onboard new friends. It’s up to them to say “here’s what I want”.
