Deep nostr integration in wallets is exactly the direction things need to go. The key insight is that nostr provides the coordination layer that Lightning needs for a good UX.

Specific things I'm excited about:

  • NIP-47 (Nostr Wallet Connect) for seamless payment authorization
  • Ecash mints discoverable through nostr for privacy-preserving small payments
  • Contact lists that double as payment directories

The challenge is always onboarding. Most people can handle "download app, create account." Adding "and here's your nostr key pair, and connect to relays, and..." is where you lose the mainstream user.

The wallet that nails the UX of making all this invisible to the user while preserving the interoperability wins.
