 Knew it 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

 Do you still let others flag NSFW and let that affect the visibility of the creator that posted it? 
 Is TestFlight still active? 
 ooh, video uploads  
 Best nostr app!

 My profile pic still goes sideways!! 
 is this because I'm on Android?? When update for us @primal? 
 Hey KathAryn, we would love to try and fix this issue for you. We believe we have fixed this issue in our latest update, so would you mind retrying to upload the photo that’s being rotated? If this issue persists, please reach out to us via DM so we can solve this. Thank you! 
 Sorry about that! Did you try re-uploading it with the latest version?  
 Yes. Failed. dm'd primal 
 why do we need to give an email to use wallet 
 Legal compliance reasons. I cover our approach in more details here:

 BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU 🔥🔥 
 10/10 
 Another milestone hit 🎉🎯 
 awesome! the keyboard is much smoother now (stopped the auto corrects), nicely done 
 Absolutely fantastic! That said the bug reported about the impossibility of using the camera for scanning QR codes in iOS 16 even with the right permissions persists… Pasting addresses is my only workaround if I want to use Primal as a lightning wallet instead of WOS. Will keep waiting (my phone to break) 😂  Great app though 🍻 
 Strange. My guess is that this has something to do with camera permissions; maybe that setting got corrupted somehow on your device. 

Speaking of alternatives, we now also have the "scan image" feature (a button on the scan screen), so you can also do that.  
 Nice 🤙 
 Giving it a try. Would be nice to be able to zap someone and Damus doesn't let me do that. 
 I've signed in with my npub key but it wants my private key in order to interact. I'm still new at this...but is that right? I thought I had to die with my private key clutched tight in my hands 🤔

 iOS is for lazy and freedom haters. Same thing for android stock users. 
 Wen NIP-23 and NIP-72 support? 👀 
 Amazing 🤩 
 💜🤙 
 Yes ! 
🎊🍾🎉 
 I thought that the rotating photos was my mistake, lol 
 Pitch - Onboarding newbies to bitcoin using primal and zapping them sats and then upgrading them to self custody as they understand more. 
 🎯 
 if you aren't interested in self custodial money then there's no reason to want bitcoin at all.   What is the purpose of custodial bitcoin vs fiat? 
 Unfortunately not everyone will have the opportunity or ability to self custody at the beginning of their journey so and it’s not a one size fits all scenario. 

At least people will be able to build their savings in a currency with a supply cap (unlike fiat) and as their stack and knowledge grows, they will get in a better position to get their bitcoin to cold storage and / or some type of community fedimint. 

Most folks I’m lucky enough to introduce bitcoin to, I wont be able to set them up with a cold card within 10 minutes but I can onboard them to something like Primal, explain how bitcoin works, zap them some sats back and forth and send them down the rabbit hole of how to self custody their stack.  
 Awesome  
 👀 
 🔥 
 It doesn’t let me press the “arrow” when I want to send to an on-chain adress. 
 💪💜⚡️ 
 primal is excellent, the idea of buying sats with apple pay works wonderfully! 💜 
 primal is too good, LFG! 💜🚀 
  @miljan why is primal not on fdroid? any plans ? 
 Thanks for the bugs fixing! 
 Use ungoogled Android not iPhone!! 😄 
 Freedom tech is hope 💜 
 that's great! 
 🙌🏼 thank you! 
 🤣🥹🤣🥹🤣🥹🤣🥹💤 
 Salute !! 🧡 
 Is there a way to delete my primal wallet and create a new one? Thanks 
 Primal rocks 
 I am also now getting push notifications on zaps ⚡️💯🔥😎 - did I mention that primal iOS rocks? 😆 - Well, #nostr rocks overall too. Many improvements and many more use case opportunities to initiate. It feels so liberating to have a decentralized social media protocol - LFG! 
 primal is very good and very intuitive, it will help a lot in the adoption of #nostr. 
the idea of buying sats with fiat via apple is excellent, good job! 
 'buying sats with fiat via apple is excellent'

apart from the privacy issue, encouraging users to use apple to buy bitcoin is not good. 
 Isn't buying sats with a credit card through LND private? I think it is extremely difficult for you to find a lnd transaction... if it were on chain, then we would have problems. (obviously buying via p2p would be better, but this helps with adoption and we will soon reach hyperbitcoinization) 
 just poshted my first video! so shmoof, love how it looks on deshktop - the rounded edges, the shlim controls and the shmoof playbeck. how does it look on the phone? probably great

 Something is up with the exchange rate in the wallet. Switching to USD gives a lower value than would be expected based on the current market. 
 このリリースで直してもらえたみたい

 Hey guys, $10 invoice from primal asks for $15 worth of sats from strike. This will be THE new orange pulling app for the US since wallet of satoshi is gone, but please get the conversion rate closer, it’s like 50% higher than it should be. According to you that, bitcoin is new ath like $75k.

 why do you require PII when activating the wallet? looks strange on a permission less social network, isn't it? what do you need my PII for?

 Any plans for Amber support or something along those lines?
