isolabellart 🎨 on Nostr: Everyone who suggested Zeus or Phoenix to me probably did not understand the problem ...
Everyone who suggested Zeus or Phoenix to me probably did not understand the problem of having a novice use zaps on Nostr.
The vast majority of nocoiners don't even know what sats are, let alone understand apps like those mentioned above.
Obviously to stay on Nostr it is not necessary to use zaps, but zaps are still the killer feature that holds back the majority of those who come here.
However, if the only viable alternative to not losing your sats is having to learn how to use Zeus or Phoenix, then we can kiss "normal" users goodbye.
It's crazy but, I no longer know which lightning wallet to recommend to my friends who want to receive and send zaps.
-Primal wallet? KYC, no thanks
-Coinos? Too many exploits, no thanks
-Walletofsatoshi or Blink? No NWC, no thanks
-Minibits or cashu.me ? NWC only with background app, no thanks
And they are all custodial wallets anyway, so thanks, but no thanks.
-Misty Breez would be nice should get under 100 sats and there is no tradeoff of using liquid for self custodial.
It seems that "Walletofsatoshi" is preparing a self custodial wallet that receives even a single sats... I look forward to it impatiently.
