Oddbean new post about login | logout This episode was phenomenal! I love the way Miljan presented this to a non-nostr audience. I was also reminded of Facebook's failed Libra/Diem project as I watched the live zap demonstration. I also loved Preston's rant and how he called us "The resistance.” It's funny to me because my wife jokes about me being part of "The Resistance" all the time.
I continue to get amazing feedback on the podcast I did with @preston. Every day multiple people hit me up to tell me that they joined nostr after hearing our conversation. Very humbling and encouraging at the same time. What we are doing here is resonating with a lot of people. Preston was brilliant at framing the conversation in a way that makes it a good intro to nostr. “The resistance” 😂👌💪 nostr:note1r8c0zarxg35jfc2casq54arf73sk0vaggvkpgmngmma0zphgmrtsuc2awr
I was one of them and I agree. This episode was phenomenal. Preston is becoming one of my favorite Bitcoin people. I'm in the process of binge watching all the previous episodes. Much underrated (by me) but not anymore. Better late than never.
I've been using Primal since v1.0 for iOS and it's very stable and polished. Looks and feels amazing. Apart from some minor issues with the keyboard writing the notes (sometimes the letters at the beginning of the word were duplicating, punctuation didn't work and capitalisation). The integrated lightning wallet is THE KILLER feature for me. Makes it so easy for new people to try and understand zaps/lightning. Keep up the great work 🫡
Have you been able to withdraw sats out of Primal? Can send sats into Primal with ease vis lightning url, but have not succeeded in using Primal scan for recieve invoice QRs from places like Pheonix or Stacker News. Lightning noob.
Yes, I've just tried now. If you generate an invoice and then scan the QR code in Primal it should work ⚡️ Let me know if it doesn't work
Ok, on phone, going to Pheonix, hitting receive, copying QR (any amount), sending to myself to laptop so I can sca with primal scan. Here we go....
tried first invoice any amount , then entered 500 or 1000 sats on primal after scan. failed. then made invoice for 600, scanned, failed . hmmmm https://m.primal.net/HWwo.jpg
maybe its fees, failure with fee limits ii Pheonix. Estimated fees very high. Perhaps I need to be sending much more Sats and swalling a high fee to test? https://m.primal.net/HWwp.jpg
I tried with WoS, setting a fixed amount to generate a specific receive code and it worked. But maybe that is something @miljan is working on? Being able to paste codes or pay lightning addresses instead of withdrawing only with the scan qr feature?
thanks, yes that is what I heard. I'll keep trying to learn more sbout lightning and look forward to updates!
I'm a little confused about the wallet myself. "Bought" sats in the primal wallet to zap users with, but not sure where the funds to do that were withdrawn from? All that was asked from the Primal wallet was my email address for the funds? I have the sats there, but for the life of me not sure how they were bought?
If you buy it from Primal in IOS you pay via apple app store/apple pay. It is user friendly but not recommended for big amounts/recurring buys, because you pay the app store fee. better to just transfer your sats from another wallet to your primal one.
Preston orange-pilled me with his podcast some years ago and I really hope he gets to purple-pill a lot of people with your chat. 🫂💜🤙
