I appreciate that Nos has put effort toward recruiting creators but I hope that you can see the problem with your client not supporting sending zaps. If you are positioning yourselves as champions of artists/creators monetizing their content open nostr, then you need to offer payments in your app. Period. I cannot take Nos seriously currently because of that. Yes, it’s good that you mention Primal or other wallets to those you’re onboarding, but your own lack of support for the very feature that makes v4v work (payments) communicates that you don’t take it seriously, and that you would rather pawn that element of v4v off on others. This needs to be reconsidered and at a minimum implement profile zaps or some other payment service in Nos. 

As for different regulations when it comes to crypto, I assume you are referring to capital gains taxes in some countries. The easiest way to avoid this is to use Strike, which allows you to link your Strike wallet to your bank account and then you can make bitcoin/lightning payments directly from your USD balance. Strike also gives you an @strike.me lightning address that supports receiving zaps, and you can opt to receive them automatically as USD instead of bitcoin if that’s someone’s preference. Those funds can then be easily withdrawn to your connected bank account, without the user ever touching bitcoin in the process. It honestly should be part of every nostr onboarding process where Strike is available.

Being limited to only using bitcoin payments for zaps has been one of my frustrations about v4v on nostr, because that hinges the success of it on bitcoin adoption. The solution then, if an artist wants to monetize content on nostr, is to either adjust what they’re publishing to appeal more to people here who zap (not ideal), onboard more people to bitcoin, and/or find ways to accept payments in ways other than bitcoin. The UX needs to continue improving in that regard as there is some friction there. But the promise of having access to a global audience with which you can freely communicate and send payments is powerful beyond anything else on the internet.
