"Stacking SATs saves lives"

Nothing extra to setup no (re NWC). Just having both Amethyst and Minibits apps installed means the flow looks ...exactly like this when zapping someone.
After clicking the zap icon and amount it loads my Minibits wallet, auto fills the amount and I press the 'pay now' button. Wait a second. I do have to go back to Amethyst manually and then I get to see see the zap counter update.
As long as I'm shilling Minibits (not paid sponsorship haha), the zap receive address is kyc-free. If you want a custom address name, it costs a very reasonable 500 sats. Minibits also gives you access to an ecash wallet if you haven't dipped your toe into that universe yet.

Minibits works for both sending and giving a person a fixed address for receiving zaps - using Android with Amethyst.

Media ideas to keep going?
The 'What Bitcoin Did' interview with Aaron Van Wirdum about the Genesis of Bitcoin. If you've heard it before, skip to 1:19:20 and put it on 1.75x
"Both Bit Gold and b-money where '98, Hashcash was '97, ecash was also 90's, RPOW was 2005"..."Interesting backstory is at this point most of these people, the cypherpunks, had kinda given up on this idea, they kind of figured, it can't be done. Also noone seems to care, everyone is very happy to just use credit cards, and everything else. Paypal was launched at this point, people don't care, whatever I guess we are going to get on with out lives"
But not Hal Finney.
Skip to 1:34:50
"[Bitcoin whitepaper] was met with indifference and skepticism for the most part, and famously Hal Finney was the one exception. Again Hal Finney of course, as I mentioned, he still had this idea for digital cash in 2005, RPOW, long after everyone else had given up on the idea essentially. And then when bitcoin launched, he got interested and had one of the few positive responses."
I don't have timestamps, just my own notes of trying to shake people down to listen to a different 'What Bitcoin Did' episode with Fran Finney, where she goes over Hal's eternal optimism.
When he couldn't walk - okay.
Before he lost the use of his hands, he built an arduino project that would track his eye movement so he could still type with his eyes.
Later he didn't like his Stephen Hawking speech program so he reprogrammed it...WITH. HIS. EYES. And kept right on going.
Every one of those Earth shattering roadblocks, was just another problem to solve.
On more than one occasion, the path that led us all to bitcoin would have come to a griding halt if it wasn't for Hal's out of this world optimism and work ethic.
So, to answer your question, if you want a motivator, bring up picture of Hal kicking asses and taking names WITH ALS, and try to muster a hundred millionth of that drive.

"Staking them for profit"?
Where does the yield for that come from?
On other altcoins they can can at least debase the supply to pay yields. Makes even less sense here.

Yeah, I didn't test that yet.
Just testing offline receiving to confirm that the sender couldn't pull back the funds if they got to internet first. (Which they could not. They couldn't claim the token to one of their own accounts since it was locked to the original recipient's public key).
I suppose if you knew that every Saturday you would pay the local rancher 100 sats for whatever, that you could make a stack of ready to go QR codes that ONLY that person could cash in.
You could print out a stack of QR codes that are like cash except locked to the recipient. (Who can melt them down and spend the sats anywhere they wanted) instead of locked to an establishment like a regular gift card.

Just verified myself.
Sender (my laptop) can't clawback the payment because I went out of my way to lock the ecash to the public key of the recipient (my phone).
My phone (offline) has a "later" button when receiving offline.
It shows up in my offline phone's transaction history when press the receive "later" button. But you can see at the time how much the ecash token is worth and the fact that it is locked to your public key (can't be redeemed by anyone else before you can get to WiFi).
Offline instantaneous receiving of sats that are tied to your public key. Amazing.

It uses the nostr based "yelp" for ecash mints bitcoinmints.com
So it can give you ratings and reviews to help you decide which mint(s) you want to connect with. Now rather than go to that site separately, it looks like you can see the various mint ratings from within cashu.

I second this message.
Go to https://f-droid.org/
...to download the f-droid apk manually.
Install that.
Then while f-droid has SOME FOSS apps you might use (like organic maps), definitely use it to get the Aurora Store and Obtainium.
Aurora Store will get you normie app store things like Fountain.fm (free sats for listening to podcasts). After you get used to Obtainium, it will be your go to. Can retrieve app apk's and manage updates (at your discretion) from F-droid and/or Github etc.

If they use Android: Minibits
If they use iPhone: Primal
Optimizing for them having a ready to go Nostr receive address to spend and receive zaps and bootstrap themselves into the bitcoin ecosystem. Can worry about on-chain, cold storage, multisig etc LONG after they orange pill themselves with Nostr zaps.

Braiins pool just enabled lightning withdrawals for everyone.
I was able to withdraw (less than the usual payout threshold) to my ecash/nostr powered minibits.cash address!
This Ecash wallet is already improving the overall experience for this super small scale home miner! Where it might take years to hit the normal payout threshold with a few winter-only space heaters.

When I was a kid, my grandfather had a room full of ham radio equipment and a huge tower antenna in the yard. We could talk to people from all over the world. Years before we internet. Didn't appreciate how cool that technology really was as a 5 year old.

I just paid you 21 sats from my minibits wallet. Fees were zero sats.
Over time, the value of those 21 sats will increase. The value of sats can increase, and dust limit for base chain UTXOs can rise based on higher fees. Not mutually exclusive. Both can be true.
That super high dust limit you describe applies to the base layer. Where it is absolutely something to keep in mind when DCA'ing. No argument there.
Dust limit for lightning is quite a bit lower. Occasional 2 sats on a 210 sat zap.
Dust limit for ecash moving in a circular economy is ...zero? Until you pay a lightnkng fee if you want to swap mints to a different circular economy.
