Personally I'm using a custodial wallet, which interestingly does work with Amethyst, though not most other Nostr clients, as it doesn't actually use NWC. It's called Speed Wallet ( https://www.speed.app ) , and you can use it with a Chrome Extension even without a smartphone.

Might be handy while you're getting things rolling, and then when you've got the liquidity to support it, get your own node up and running later.

That's what I'm doing anyway, while stacking sats from a silly amount of app sources.
