 Explain to a Noob. 
 Ecash is a lot simpler than lightning due to the differences in technologies under the hood. 
 Is there a Web Nostr client that support Ecash for zapping?

 Don't think you can zap ecash currently ?  
 sure you can, nutzaps (NIP-61) are a thing and if all else fails nip17 a note with ecash 
 Seems complicated to me.  The oposit of the meme above. Idk, seems to me that Ecash is useful, at least  for now, only for "voucher" type of payment l. And taxes are not low, at least using minibits or eNusts wallets.

 it only sounds complicated because you're not a developer (I assume, and I apologize if you are) and you're reading technical specs; technically a lightning zap is actually just as complicated. 
 I'm a programmer in banking for years - and still don't think nip 61 is easy 😀 
 LOL this is a Monero meme, that is really cringe when not mentioning the limitations of ecash implementations including the reliance on custodianship. 
 Comparing LN zaps with Monero is utterly retarded 
 calling names is not a good look calle/road to where?! 
 That's right, please accept my apology. Didn't want to make it personal and your point is right (custodial / noncustodial)

 Man, I love ecash. More privacy tech for the freedom of we the people.

But I also love honesty about capabilities  
 Same and same. No need to oversell a technology that is powerful enough by itself. Freedom go up on all levels of the sovereign stack 🤝 
 We’re just getting started. Nothing stopping this train. 
 Need to learn about ecash
