Oddbean new post about login | logout Lightning wallets are a pain in the ass. I created a Damus account, and had no idea how to attach a wallet even though I have several on my phone. I then created a Primal account and it was a breeze. I asked this question and was told yes but I dont know how to do it.
Yeah no one tells you this until you complain loudly after spending hours/days trying to figure it out. Now that I finally got my Alby invite (took them a month) lol I gotta figure out how to replace my Primal wallet on my nostr user profile without losing my current Primal sats. I assume that I can send the balance to my Alby wallet first.
You can send the sats to alby if you want, Primal has a custodial wallet, you wont lose your sats unless you forget your nsec or they rug you.
Thank you for that. I'll give it a try
Bitwarden ftw. I keep my nsec encrypted there
Take a screenshot or write down your Primal LN address…thankfully I had done some before messing with wallets (similar issue as you with choosing a wallet) to utilize with Nostr… When you change your LN address in one Nostr client it changes it to all so I almost lost my Primal addy
Yeah I took all that info down when i set it up so I could teach others. I'm going to dump my sats from Primal to my Alby and then go from there.
I’m like 80% there… If I want to #zap outside Primal, such as on Fountain or Habla Then I need an NWC based wallet and I tend to operate from a “go to the source” of something. Since Alby created NWC it seems the logical step. Only thing holding me back in the ~16k sats to open a channel. I’d rather hodl those LOL Short sighted probably…
Most nostr clients have an edit profile option, in your profile you can select the lightning address you would like your zaps to be received. If you update your profile on one client, the others will update as well. Damus and Primal don't have separate accounts, one nostr nsec logs you into all of them.
Haha I completely agree. Lightening has a lot of issues. Just don’t say that too loudly around here. It will get you yelled at in my experience.
Yep. Have to be careful what what we talk about on Nostr LOL
Primal is certainly the best UX so far…not perfect…and I hop onto Damus and YakiHonne every other day to facilitate tagging someone or to ensure my notifications are thorough (I don’t want to miss connecting with people) But the BIGGEST reason I keep coming back to Primal is strictly cause of the wallet. And now, Damus had to remove the zap function so that app is all but useless to me. Hopefully Primal can hold out from the demands of Apple or maybe they are just paying the 30%??
