First and foremost thank you for taking the time to help people on askNostr hashtag (TBH I have no idea what this is thought I am guessing its a hashtag id of some sort) users like you are critical for the continuing adoption of Nostr
Full disclosure I am not on here often because it is still a little to raw and requires more work then I am willing to commit to have a good UX on nostr
From a noob perspective this is the problem
NIP-60
eCash
locked to your pub
The client can add
default mint
kind 0 profile
Just one of these will stop a noob dead in there tracks link many together and noobs are already not reading
I am not the dumbest one in the room nor am I the smartest but from my perspective it just isn't worth my time to try and understand each one of these things so I can Zap and receive a few sats anytime I move away from my current client (Primal)
Agree that integration of this when onboarding is the answer Most don't know how the apps they use on smartphones work nor do they have to Maybe that is to their detriment but IMHO the lack of language that does not require hours of study to understand is also part of the problem

I 100% understand and agree with what you are saying here. My post was replying to a couple folks who do k ow what all of those terms are referring to.
Ideally, when a new user joins Nostr, they get a bit of hand-holding by the app they are using to set up their profile to introduce them to the basic concepts of having their identity here tied to a public key (npub) and private key (nsec) pair. Some apps are better than others at doing this.
From there, most things should just work.
The user's introduction to zaps should be by getting a notification that they received one and being prompted to go to the wallet tab to see their new balance, with a brief explanation that they can now zap others from this balance. They should have no need to manually set anything up at all.
