Thoughts on this UX?
I've been thinking about how to make Lightning Network more accessible to non-technical users ("no-coiners"). Digital wallets can be abstract and intimidating for beginners.
I'm prototyping a physical concept to make the process tactile (see attached AI mockups).
The Concept Flow:
Physical Security: An NTAG215 chip is hidden under a tamper-evident foil seal.
Interaction: The user peels the seal (visual proof of value) and taps the object with their phone.
Protocol: It triggers an LNURL-withdraw request to instantly fund their wallet.
The goal: To turn the abstract concept of "Satoshis" into something tangible that can be handed over personally.
My question to the community: From a security and UX perspective, do you think this "Peel-and-Tap" mechanism is viable for introducing new people to Lightning? Or are there better physical form factors?

The sticker idea is kind of novel, but make sure you check out bolt card. https://www.boltcard.org/
For people that already used a LN wallet, this is OK.
But for people that have no idea about Bitcoin and also LN, is a bad idea. They will make mistakes and sats will be lost.
For nocoiners it is always good to help them in their first steps and do not start with using only a LN wallet and even a LNURL-w. This is foreign language for them.
I suggest to make a pilot test before starting to print these... just take a clueless guy on the street and do the test: download an app, explain how to secure it, then scan the QR etc
You will see that after first 30 seconds the guy is totally lost and didn't understand anything.
Bitcoin must be taught in person, slowly, step by step, starting with basics concepts. Not en mass and jumping straight into a world that do not understand it.
We need well trained users not dumb clueless followers that just click buttons.
