 I’m trying! Helppp. I’m in US and looking for a custodial wallet. I tried strike and Wallet of Satoshi and both are no longer avail in US. Any ideas? 
 Primal's native one is run by strike, I believe... it's been working well for me. It was the easiest option. I'm not fluent in all the nuances of wallets yet but for the amount of sats I'm playing with atm, this works just great. You can always change later :)

 I think you just go to your settings and into set up wallet. Follow prompts from there. Takes about a minute. 
 Give Primal a try.  
 Ugh I tried and all was good until I tried to send a reply and they wouldn’t send. And wallet when I tried to set up, just kind of froze. Whatttttt am I doing wrong. 
 🤔 
 Check this, old but.. you can fins some useful sources, also fpr lightning

 Minibits wallet provides a lightning URL that you can just copy and paste into your profile 
 Awesome. Thank you! Will try. 
 Strike is available.

 Are you on Tor or a VPN? Has your state outlawed Strike for some reason?  
 Using iPhone, no TOR/VPN. 
 I see that NY is blocked now. Sorry for the bad info. That one is buried in the fine print a little. If you're there, that's why it's not working. Did you find another solution? 
 Damn, yeah I couldn’t find the fine print so kudos to you. I got nothing. Primal blocked, wallet of satochi blocked, strike not working. Got to love government overreach. I’m not exactly an expert on these things either so ‘getting creative’ isn’t in my wheelhouse when it comes to this 
 Okay, so try coinos.io for a custodial wallet. It's a website, but you can install it as an app so it's on your home screen all the time. You can use that address with Nostr to at least receive zaps. You're avoiding the app store crap that way. 

Spend a minute looking at Robosats, also. That's a good way to buy some sats without KYC. If you can get cashapp, you can use it there.  
 🫡. Let me give it a good ol’ college try. And thank you. 
 There’s nothing online about it being restricted in my state. This is really maddening. 
  @Alby 
 I was also going to mention this, but it looks like they’re not taking new registrations without an invite code ☹️ 
 Hey, check your dms for invite code!

Opening soon, too!
 
 No code in my dms 😭😭😭 
 Depending on your use case, CashApp can be nice as well. While not strictly custodial, I’ve also enjoyed Phoenix (although watch out for the fees on channel open) 
 Try @Minibits wallet on android plus #Amethyst nostr client 

Add minibits address to your ln address in nostr profile
 
 Try primal.net or mutinywallet.com or speed.app 
 Wallet of Satoshi can be downloaded outside of app store also eg for Android here.

Not sure about iOS - maybe search around. 
 I’m in US and was still able to use Strike 
 Ok so I’m hearing that the universe is just mad at me right now. https://image.nostr.build/85a4661edbc14f3b351e30b9f8ce8d9a2778a7cd3061f4330929e8a94ff5126f.jpg
