 So yesterday for whatever reason my BitKit wallet then Phoenix wallet couldn’t make a payment. 

I moved all money off custodial LN wallets like WoS and blink to avoid temptation. 

I waited and reconnected to the internet and was almost resigned to paying in fiat…

Until I remembered I had money “on Nostr” in my @primal wallet. 

I opened the app, scanned it and oh my it BLOODY WORKED. 

I filmed all this but I don’t have the energy or decent data to upload the video. 

Felt weird to pay for something with a social media app but I can see myself getting used to it. 

Makes me wonder though… when non-custodial solutions for Nostr? 
 Have you tried strike? 
 I use Zeus to connect to my node through nwc. Of course nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cspzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejszyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmnytql6f0 has it's own LSP. This is an excellent non custodial solution Joe 
 Ohhhh this is gold. I’ll do this when I’m in decent internet soon 
 Yes he has 😂 He just said he used Primal. (Which uses Strike's backend.) 
 lol I didn’t actually know this. I thought primal was also a brand new ln wallet 😅 😬 
 It's a great Nostr client and wallet. But yes, they are using Strike!  
 Takes time to get used to a new tool. One day it might well be normal to dk just that 

What’s cool is to think about how easy it was to do, & how much development is being done in the space 
 I use Zeus car connected to my node via LNC.  
 this must be what wechat feels like for the Chinese market! 
 Dude, let's spin up phoenixd on your LNbits, boom, you're your own bank again. 
 I guess BitKit would also work?
