 Primal doesn't make any money on iOS in-app purchases of sats. Apple charges 15% in U.S. and Canada (30% elsewhere), Stike charges 1%. Apple might apply additional sales tax per their local app store rules. 

These aren't cheap sats. The option is there so that newly onboarded users can experience Nostr zapping without friction. We deliberately limit these in-app purchases to $5 at a time and $50 max per day.

Note that the "receive" function on the Primal wallet works as soon as you activate it. Users who already own sats can load their wallet that way and zap away! ⚡️

 The question is, why people still support Apple?

 IMO, if we want to #grownostr we have to meet the users where they are. At Primal, we aim to build the best UX possible for all platforms and form-factors: web, iOS, Android, PWAs, and let users decide.

 Is it possible? And is there a plan to do it?

 I like Apple because it’s the best balance between privacy and convenience out of the box. It’s far from perfect, yes. But you can’t expect the majority to load grapheneOS on their phones and stop enjoying the convenience of Apple’s ecosystem. That’s just not happening

 Why is Primal not taking a cut?

 Don't want to make those sats any more expensive. Our main objective atm is to grow Nostr.

 Why do I need to put my name and email to activate my wallet if I just wanted to receive into it without Apple Pay?

 Hi Miljan. I enjoyed your recent Citadel Dispatch episode. I am very interested in what you said about Hyperinflation in Serbia in the 90s. Can you recommend and books or documentaries about this?Thanks.

 I’m curious why it’s necessary to put personal info inc. email in to activate the wallet? Is there an alternative way to zap ⚡️ like using zapplepay with alby on Damus?

 Compliance reasons for running a custodial wallet. I provide more details about our approach in my blog post:
