Blog Post: Introducing Primal for iOS

I just shared more details about our iOS release, including our wallet approach:

It's already my favorite client ngl


Zapped by ice cream so good 🍦


All very nice, but I didn't understand what the purpose of my email is to register a lightning custodial wallet when Nostr's identity already exists.


how is the association/linkage between email address and the npub maintained.  Where is that information stored.  If you purchase using in-app purchase...most likely the npub is locked with the purchase and inadvertently KYC'd.  Can you please comment to clarify.


Amazing stuff! Great UI. Friendly request to send sats from the Primal Wallet to a pasted Lightning address.


Loaded Primal on my iPhone.  Wallet balance is zero.  It's not clear to me how the wallet integration piece works.


Primal is Great! I have tried 3 others but Primal is the winner.


I love it so far. It took a while for the wallet section to be available, and it took another while to register that I sent sats to it from another lightning wallet but it was operational by the end of the day.


Why does it ask me for name and email to create a wallet?


I like the Primal “flow”
Keep it up!

Love the options and different client software in leveraging this protocol

Thanks, was looking for this write up


Yooo yooo boss 🫡🫡🫡


Warning ‼ @primal is already (it seems to me) shadowbanning people. When I write in a post in Primal, it is visible in my profile feed, but it is nowhere to be found in the ”latest” feed! It is not visible.
When I switch to nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 it is immediately visible.
If this is supposed to be some kind of ”feature” in nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg it certainly acts more like a bug 🐛


The cap on custodied funds and the $5 purchase increments are a clever compromise geared towards noobs and non-bitcoiners checking out nostr.

The reality of successful nostr adoption is that bitcoiners will be the minority. Most users will come in not knowing what a sat is and likely treat it as reward points or in-game currency.

Congrats! Are you also integrating Nostr Wallet Connect for the in the in-app wallet?


Feature request:
There should be an option to use your own lightning wallet for those with self custodial ideals (most Nostr users). This option was of course present in the test flight app but was removed in the Appstore version.
Making people enter an email address associates the Npub with an email address kinda feels like KYC (concerning). Which again is frowned upon in the Nostr community.

Congratulations. I love the client. Added sats via  Apple.


Such a great solution!


How long do you think note zaps will work before Apple notices?
