It's not, but i would argue nostr in general isnt ready for 1M people. The major issue isn't onboarding users into zaps, it's better relays, imo.

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? Perspective
if you have suggestions, or you see issues common between all relays, we would be happy to hear them. 🫡

Exceptional work, the one you do on #asknostr Please continue. I have a question, where can I find resources for beginners that will help me learn about "cashu"
