Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

I don't want to encourage the proliferation of ecash on nostr, I think it adds so much complexity, not to mention the confusion of zaps vs nut zaps. I don't want the "feature" of users sending these shitcoin gems between each other and building a whole brittle ecosystem on top of that. the simple IOU redemption thing is much simpler and cleaner.

I don't mean enable ecash for zaps. I meant use the existing ecash tech/code to enable your 'gems'. Users wouldnt need know that it's ecash. Just seemed like a fast way to mvp than rolling your own IOU code.

The whole ecash model just seems like banking to me. Something we are all trying to get away from. Lightning is already complicated enough for Nostr users. Really wish we had two options. Lightning integration and on-chain bitcoin copy pasta for regular wallet addresses. That way whether you are an advanced user, or a cold-storage afficianado. As Nostr users we have options best suited to our needs and level of chosen risk.
