 For anyone on iOS: 

To zap someone on @primal you need to enter personal information…I won’t do this. I heard it’s because Primal uses Strike(?)
There is no possibility to switch to another wallet.

To zap someone on @damus you can select your favorite wallet, but the zap symbol is missing, so you can’t zap. There is a working workaround, which I just tried.

 You can put fake info for primal. 
 I know, but this is not the point. Point is it’s light KYC and next step will be full KYC. I want privacy else I can stick to the traditional system. 
 Ya I know what you mean. A while back when I didn't have their lightning setup yet, I was using alby which was setup through my Bluewallet. People could zap it but I couldn't see it on primal, I had to go on the bluewallet to see. 
 I tried to put fake info and it rejected me.  The wallet allowed me to send sats to it before asking for KYC but now I can’t pull them out without giving personal information. 

So GFY primal 
 Really!? Can you change the info you entered?  
 Hey  @alejandro, that doesn't sound right. If you were able to activate the wallet and sends sats to it, the app shouldn't ask you for anything else at a later time. Are you really not able to withdraw? What is the error message you are getting?  
 Hi @miljan, I was able to send sats to the wallet prior to activating it. That is a design flaw. 

I can activate it but I need to provide you with my real email address and I refuse to do so. 

I don’t know why I can’t use my own wallet. https://i.nostr.build/ml537.jpg  
 Okay, we can help you with this. I'll send you a DM shortly. 

As for your question, KYC is a legal requirement for offering a custodial wallet service; it is not our choice to collect this information.  
 For the record. Primal and @miljan solved this problem for me 
 Works fine! Thank you 🙏 
 I stopped reading after the word iOS.

... Use GrapheneOS 
 GrapheneOS #freedom 🧡 
 Before hearing about the workaround, I’ve built @ZapOnBehalf which creates a zap event (mentioning you) and DMs you the invoice. The bot never custody any funds, the invoice is the direct invoice to the author of the zapped event.

I’m keeping the bot alive just in case they close the loophole, until I’ll buy my next phone (which will NOT be an iPhone). 
 Try Nostur and select the wallet of your choice to send zaps 
 Looks interesting 
 Primal wanted to allow users to bring their own wallet but Apple wouldn’t approve this feature alongside the built-in wallet that contains ApplePay purchasing, because it would cut into their profits. The result of this is note zaps are enabled on Primal but not on Damus (unless you enable the hack). It’s ridiculous. 
 Nostur is great too! You just need to customize your interface in the settings to show a lightning emoji⚡️ 
 Can I zap notes or only profiles? Missing the bolt here https://image.nostr.build/5ea5e90cdbf4702a2c57de2e5fbb487d5a9476974e71085ccf998d13c318b138.jpg  
 Customize the options for that bar in your settings here… add a lightning emoji!

 This is what this post looks like on mine with those settings.

 Ah! I didn’t assume that adding a simple icon would add a link to open the wallet. Thanks, it works. 
 Took me a while to figure it out too! 
 Also works nicely with NWC 👍🏻 
 Cool! I’ve never gotten around to setting that up, but I do find the wallet selection in nostur to be very smooth 
 Try for lightning bolt ⚡️ zap icon on bottom post feature.

 This is for Damus. Nostur has its own clever workaround 
 That seems complicated and is not an ideal user experience. 
 😳
