 Linux , every time I tried it was awful,

I remember thinking,  they don't get it, downloading a program and executing the program shouldn't be complex, but the development never got it their heads that adoption needs standards and Windows won long time ago, using that standard at minimum was common sense, after that, ahhh, the drivers compatibility, never perfect always a problem.... Last time I needed to buy a new web cam because apparently my laptop one was not compatible, lol, fuck that. 
 The more you learn, this is amazing, thanks for sharing, good content.

Went to check the BIP and it was proposed in 2023, and only two wallets adopted so far... Wondering...

What is the reason? 

Is there any push back from the technical point of view? 
 I am being shadow banned on YouTube. I still have yet to figure out the best option for censorshi... 
 Rumble has a lot of adoption, there are profiles with millions of followers, therefore, if reach is what you seek with less censorship that is the way to go, I believe the CEO was recently on the run from Europe after Pavel was arrested 

but...

#Odysee is superior in look and feel and cneoarship resistant too, I wish you could convince #Odysee CEO to jump onboard with #Bitcoin,  #Nostr and start updating their app to be android TV compatible. 

#Telegram is another option with millions of aubs

#VK has millions of subs too, it has lots of diverse content, seems to be an alternative to censorship many are using, I find myself linked to its contain often and the experience is excellent

Interesting points, and a mysterious vibe, "from the waters above", first time I read that was in nostr:nprofile1qqsfhudvppagjcpcqz9qxrc4eh625pzzexfcty4228gpeq4c7ktk0hgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uuhj2md profile, I digg it, me like, following 🤙

 welcome! 
 nice,  didn't know about it, used the links your provided for bolt12.org , and love the protocol features, the ecosystem really needs it. 

Wonder why other well funded and organized wallets like nostr:nprofile1qqswe03hyye2jv3msylwkj8cml8d4m9qpc5g0tccrvrrcm86z0kcaggpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtc54uwrd have not implemented BOLT12 yet. Have friends in South America using Aqua, they recommended it to me, checked it out and it is quite cool, fees a bit high to become my day to day LN wallet but very easy to use. 
 interesting, like in X, that will be cool, wonder too if it is possible

I am using now #Amethyst as my client #0xChat as my family comms app, while doing so, noticed that the notifications works well in 0xChat but not in Amethyst?

Both apps have the same NTFY setting, both apps dowloaded using Obtainium de-googled.

Is there a problem or... Am I doing something wrong and notifications work well for everyone else in Amethyst?

There is one thing Primal has that make sense: 

. I will get a very distinctive notification in the app when someone followed me

In Amethyst I have not receive a single notification for any new follower

Did I miss something? 
 ha! fascinating, got it! Thank you 
 seriously #Primal, do better, how people use this and enjoy it,

I see a post, it is a comment from another post, interesting, what is that about? open it to read the thread, nothing but the post shows, wtf!

 ohh no support for long posts? WTF!!!

Went to another web client to see was what was this post about, holly molly...  An awesome long post with an interesting take on a possible black swan, but Primal won't show it , nor polls, 

check the Nostr dot pub long note here:

Only for those that have tested #Amethyst or #0XChat

 Ha! that is a good summary, have to check the Draft management and the private bookmarks  (cool) thanks for sharing this 
 so I posted this as a reply and it won't show on the web client, asked a friend using Amethyst and informed me the note shows as not found, taking asl snapshot now, wondering if this is a censoring of some sort

 lol, will see 
 wow, thanks @madzapper 
 Yes, awesome post, used Amethyst lol! 
 Hello #Nostr

Trying #Primal, very simple, almost no features, wallet and posts, didn't like the pseudo KYC non sense, seriously, is that the #Nostr way, KYC?, wrong message, not cool.

No Amber or external signer, only add your nsec, oh well, here we go, so well recommended that I will give it the benefit of the doubt, but again, not cool.

The wallet, instead to be your user name if available is some random funny name, not cool neither. The concept of a wallet on the app built in is odd to me, I guess some like it, to me is quite absurd

Zapping experience:

SO BAD!

The small group of people I would like to zap is on wallets on relays that require 0xChat, minibits, coinos LN addresses to be found, you have to add manually the relays! not cool!

Primal should add them by default, this interoperability is a bitch, a new NIP should be worked to have all wallets in Nostr speaking to each other, like a relay all wallets agree to sync with by default

If you are using primal add the following relays to be able to send zaps to most of people using #Nostr

wss://relay.minibits.cash/
wss://relay.coinos.io/
wss://wot.utxo.one/
wss://relay.0xchat.com/

And if they are not using Primal and you are, tell them to add Primal to their general relays, otherwise, they won't be able to zap you

How do I know?

I tried to zap a person and the wallet will do nothing! neither a message saying it could not find a relay with that LN address, not cool 😡, since nothing was happening I checked the relays on settings under Network and for my surprise many important relays were missing, and of course, not one relay for known eCash Nostr wallets was there.

Added them and all is good, zaps now work ⚡

I guess I will end up using #Amethyst (@a open source android nostr client ) instead although #0XChat (@0xchat ) is quite nice (just the little fonts are absurd, What is up with that? nuts!). 

Even the NIP05 needed some leg work, Primal would not save the primal dot net NIP05 one with my username, had to make the edit with another client to make it happen 🤦

I am surprised so many influencers in the Nostr community use this instead of Amethyst or 0XChat, either way, will play with it for few moths, but so far is not a good experience.

 True, primal user experience compared to Amethyst is quite bad

I like only one thing more from Primal, it shows me a message for new followers, nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kkdf7q5yzf4v7tn2ek78v0zp2y427mj3sa7f34ggjcpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj703s8dt does not
