 Why not try add an option for Damus users to buy sats via Apple like on primal app? The sats could be sent to user’s custodial/non-custodial LN wallet, and you take a small cut. While helping new users have a taste of the orange pill… and embed video tutorials or wizards to guide new users to setup from a list of recommended NWC/LN wallet.

 I don’t want to get locked into a kyc wallet like primal, if i can do it without that happening then I’ll consider it.

 Yes, agreed. Damus should send the sats bought via Apple to a third-party LN address or NWC wallet linked to Damus.

1. Click setup wallet in Damus
2. Pick from list of recommended external wallets
3. Watch an embedded video to setup the chosen wallet.
4. Once Damus (and Nostr profile) is connected to wallet, Damus would suggest preset amounts in local currency to buy sats via Apple in-app purchases.

Most lightning wallets today can’t even buy $5 worth of sats using Apple Pay. And it takes a long time to teach family and friends how to buy sats from places like binance (which they have to KYC anyway). If Damus users can guided within Damus app to skip those centralized exchanges when acquiring sats, would be great.

 I have friends who don’t mind the Apple tax as long as it saves them a lot of trouble.

And being 💪 men, they frown on getting sats from other grown men. Don’t quite understand the psychology myself.

 I have core pillars and values that I’m building my app around. If I temporarily lose marketshare because of that then so be it.

 I thought this was replying to the wallet thread, but this reply works here too 😅

 I highly recommend a book on this called Built To Last.

 I loved that book, best comparison I can make, it’s like taking 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, then scale it to businesses. 

And it goes into the stories of these long lasting companies. 

I personally enjoyed it.

 What’s that Will? Having gone on on behalf the wrong one, thieving and now stuck there like a whore of Babylon?

Good times, buddy.
