 You can also make a close friends feed using primals advanced search.   That’s what I’ve done  
 interesting, can you tell me more? you have a saved search with a list of npubs? 
 i have wondered sometimes if the reason list creation and sharing is not more prevalent in clients is the desire to paywall algos in the future.🤷 
 I hadn’t thought about it from that angle, makes a lot of sense… 
 freedom tech=maximum facilitation of user configurability and control.

Freedom Tech™️=disrupting Silicon Valley monopolies with new protocols to give developers who were cut out of the game the ability to take market share, while unfortunately still employing many of the same user lock-in patterns. 
 Ya check this out! This is a quick demo of how to make a friend feed using primals advanced search.  Lmk if you have questions.

 probably the best way to have a list of close friends in primal

at least until they add list support

 amazing, thank you 
 Been a game changer for me  
 game changer under sells it, I love that the save search goes right into your feeds 🔥🔥🤢 
 Ya it’s wild.  And yes an edit button will come in the future so if you want to add someone you don’t have to recreate the whole thing  
 hahaha, perfect, definitely going to need that 
 that was supposed to be a third fire... 😁 
 Awesome thanks boss. You’ll be added to that list for sure. Always great content  
 Thank you for this manual, Paul. 
 this is really cool to have 
 I love that you can also filter the type of search and not just pick “media” you can choose between images and videos https://v.nostr.build/kapFCYPgm0nSuWoo.mp4  
 amazing 
 I love all the new features! They killed it!

boutta hit up @miljan with some feature requests for the next one 👀🔥 
 They really did kill it! I'm migrating from amethyst which has been my android go to for a year.

these are on my wish list but outside of that i wouldn't change much

-list support
-external signer
-multi account 
 2 of those already on IOS so for sure will be on android!! Lfgooooo 
 YES 🤯 
 Oooh custom lists with advanced search. This is interesting 👀 
 Hmmm…I have to pay to get advanced search? https://i.nostr.build/QZDiGR8Bw47QXaHy.jpg  
 Primal sucks. 
 This is odd. It’s letting me search but there’s this ad banner with the search results. Maybe it’s free now but they’ll switch to pay only later https://i.nostr.build/6bIfVPhtZD0WWhHP.jpg  
 @primal @miljan do we have to pay for the advanced search and saving it as feeds? It seems to work when I tried just now but the messaging is confusing. In primal premium section it seems like advanced search is a paid feature. And at the bottom of the search results it says that advanced search is paid. I’m a bit confused by this 
 Hello, great questions. Currently, as a non-premium user you will be able to use advanced search and receive a maximum of 20 results. Premium advanced search has an unlimited amount of results per search. All users will be able to save their advanced search feeds, but non-premium users will be limited to 20 results in their feeds.

Hope this helps, feel free to reach out with any other questions  
 Ah I get it. For those who want to use the advanced search as a custom feed for friends, a paid account is needed. 

Another question for you: how do I find out what’s the address associated to my primal wallet? Currently it shows the address I use on Damus. I haven’t tried Primal in a long time 
 Best way to find your primal lightning address would be to access your the Primal Wallet and hit the “Receive” button. In there you’ll have two options, your lightning address and your btc on-chain address. Lmk if you need more help finding it  
 That makes a lot of sense. Thank you 
 Node, I couldn’t help but notice. Seeing my battery percentage like this gives me tremendous distress! I don’t know if this happens to you... 😅

And this message has nothing to do with your questions, I’m sorry. 
 Battery definitely goes down quick with nostr. Luckily I always have an external battery or a charging canle nearby 🐸 
 Cell phones currently have an Achilles heel, which is the durability of the batteries - in the use of apps. 
 That’s one part of it. The other part is the nostr clients.  Downloading data from multiple relays uses the battery like nothing else 🤣 
 What do you recommend sats? 
 Damus maxi. 

Pronounced Damu (silent s) internationally. 
 I don’t use apple so now what do you recommend 
 🥩
Steak. Eat steak. 🥩 
 I eat lots of steak and do leg day sats, what do you recommend i use as an android nostr client? 
 Stay tuned. 
I have top guys working on NostrPink (under construction) 🦺 🦺🦺 
 Ok, thanks I’ll use primal 
 Primal is fine. I prefer Damus but have both. Those are the only two I’ve played with. 
User experience is much much better on Damus but I haven’t used Primal in a minute so maybe it’s better now. 
 I wonder if the primal ios app lets you use a different wallet than the primal built in wallet though. Rhat was an issue I had before 
 The whole KYC thing 
 Same. 
 On android we have the option to connect our own wallet so I’ve done mini bits and or alby through NWC. I also hate the KYC crap 
 If I have to zap with their kyc wallet, the advanced search might be supreme but I still need something more sovereign like Damus 
 Agreed, i won’t be using their kyc wallet

I am asking them to implement list support, to me that would be the best way to handle having a group of friends etc… search is nice but amethyst does it the best atm 
 More options for the user would be great 
 Unfortunately due to iOS regulations we are unable to offer support for NWC on our iOS app. The only option for NWC with Primal is through the Web app through an extension or with Android. 
 That’s good to know thanks. 

Would you be able to help clarify this question I had? I was a bit confused by the paid feature info on the advanced search

 2.0 was an improvement, I’ve been using amethyst because primal was too slow on android …

But now I’m missing notes on amethyst, keeps getting slower so primal may be better

I’ve used Damus on the iPad and agree that’s a nice experience (outside of the zapping and no list support) 
 From what I’ve tried so far, not sure if it’s a demo or free for a limited time but the avanced search is amazing. Super fast. Very easy to use and add npubs to the search criterias 
 that's really great, would remove the need to go to nostr.band 
 Definitely 
 Amethyst 
 been on amethyst for a year but imo it's gotten slow (even after optimizing relays per Vitor), and it's missing notes and reactions 
 You have reached the limit of my knowledge 🥺  
 real men pronounce their s, AtsMcD 
 Wouldn’t it be atMcd?

Be better. Smarter. 
 marter 
 🤔😂😂😂😂 
 Yea 👍 
 Excelente, Paul 🤝
