We sure do love zaps and the value for value economy here. Though, one of the largest user based technical hurdles for Nostr, IMO, are zaps. While not required, they do enhance the experience. Because of this paired with the fact that many of us are Bitcoiners, we tend to get a bit overenthusiastic when new users join. So, how do we make this easier?

Does Nutsack fix this? Maybe?

I'm still not entirely sold on Nutsack fixing this issue, at least in it's current form. Mint selection may need to be automatic or have recommended mints, but also allow advanced mint selection for more technical people. We also need incredibly easy solutions to convert from 🥜 to ⚡. 

Telling people that they're going to need a second application or even a third application doesn't seem like a good experience either.

Would you be comfortable holding hundreds of thousands of sats in a Cashu mint? I would not. Because of this simple fact, I would not be able to recommend Nutsack to new users. I cannot recommend something to people that I don't use or don't fully endorse. 

For me, the key is to help users help themselves and while helping them, don't set them up for failure. Don't set them up to be rugged.

I know that nostr:nprofile1qqs04xzt6ldm9qhs0ctw0t58kf4z57umjzmjg6jywu0seadwtqqc75sprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszynhwden5te0wp6hyurvv4cxzeewv4esdp32r9 is aware of all of these shortcomings and that he's actively working on making NIP-60 Cashu wallets better and easier to use. 

Hell, maybe I'll dive in and switch my zaps to nuts for a while. Do a little bit of dogfooding. Er...squirrelfooding.

Anyways. All of that said, I truly am excited to watch clients integrate this and am hopeful that we can solve all of these onboarding issues. Maybe I'll be surprised.
