 Looking to recruit a few noobs to Nostr. What are the recommended clients for Android (I’m a happy iOS @damus user)?

 There's honestly too many. https://image.nostr.build/bbe4f0742db0370f825ac45313e31d47d59ec84475dec5287b41cd003bc13ded.jpg 
 wow, that’s a lot. I recognize a couple names on there. Thanks! 
 I use Android with primal 
 Do you use the built in wallet for sending and receiving zaps? 
 No, it is not eligible here, but I use Blink Wallet. 
 People seem to like Amethyst on android. Primal is awesome on iOS so I assume it’s the same on Android 
 The Primal wallet is not available in Canada. I know there’s probably a way to connect an external wallet but it wasn’t obvious. 
 Ah ok, yeah best to keep it simple for a newb 😁

Just make sure they setup their lightning wallets 💪 
 Have WalletOfSatoshi in Canada? 
 This. I tried Amethyst and I didn't get it. Primal on GrapheneOS here. 
 Amethyst is pretty popular AFAIK 
 Primal is the easiest, but not the best.

Amethyst is the best, not the easiest.

Primal (both iOS and Android) creates a wallet as well as your keys, so is great for onboarding). 
 I’d love to suggest Primal but the wallet isn’t supported in Canada unfortunately. 
 Interesting 🤔 
 I have to use @damus to send Zaps unless you are prepared to fully doxx yourself on @primal which, I am not. Stay safe 🫶 stay anon 🧡 
 WoS? No kyc. 
 Yes I have my WoS connected to Damus and it’s all good. The issue currently is with Primus and connected a wallet in order to zap others. 

I’ve been speaking to someone and it seems like a difference between Android and ios. Apple users have doxx themselves by all accounts. Android users don’t 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
 Yes we do have WoS in Canada. That’s what I use for zaps (w/ Damus)…it works great and is easy to use. 
 In the Android version of Primal you can use an external wallet instead of theirs. In iOS you’re limited to only their wallet. 
 Good to know, thanks. 
 You’re welcome 🤝 
 Highly recommend @Amethyst for Android users paired with @Minibits or @Coinos to get a non-kyc (custodial) lightning wallet and address. 
 Thanks, I’ll check out out those options! 
 I like the idea of an ecash wallet. that’s the future of custodial lightning wallets imo.
