I have tried bringing this up repeatedly when the first larger wave onboarded with jack (npub1sg6…f63m), also a lack of user friendly L1 mobile wallets with a clean, modern codebase. No single user bothered to engage, and I now assume that people expect finished code instead of strategic discussion in this case.
jb55 (npub1xts…kk5s) kindly did take the time to explain to me how much more effort BOLT12 zap implementations require, but I still wonder about the lack of public attention to the feature now that wallets like Phoenix ship with finished implementations.
Lastly Swift-Bitcoin https://github.com/swift-bitcoin/swift-bitcoin looks really relevant for practical Apple and Linux wallet and zap implementations, yet it has also received no further public attention, and the main maintainer voiced an interested in deployment for desktop apps first, which seems surprising in the Swift context.
LN and now Cashu also seem to have taken much focus away from L1 BTC, but, as far as I understand, fully depend on its network and incentives, and by that sabotage their own foundation.
I strongly believe that BTC, and Nostr, need to focus on new, more easily user comprehensible, verifiable and buildable self custody wallets to make any meaningful progress with the incentive structures, and end the trend of byzantine, opaque for profit wallet hardware and software.
