Vance, their wallet has minimal KYC because it's required by Strike. They use Strike's backend for their infrastructure.

Hi I'm Vance 👋
I'm not a new user. I've been around a year or so. I'd like to welcome all new users and tell you to avoid using #primal app.
It will ask you for your personal details (aka KYC) and there is no valid reason too in order to use Nostr. They are simping for someone. Perhaps govts which you came here to avoid.
On Nostr we care about privacy and are very aware of the powers that be and how they like to control. I REPEAT there is no need to give over the data they ask for in order to use Nostr.
**** Nostr is an open protocol but that also means open to nefarious actors. Beware. ****
Some alternatives are Amethyst on Android and Damus on iOS.
See screenshot below for their KYC page on wallet set up. Other users have noticed if you search #primal you will find some.
NB: the online world is swimming in KYC and its hard to avoid but I think its important to avoid in ways we can.
🙏

It still drove me off tho.
I understand that but it just means the layers of control are embedded at diff level. Control nonetheless. Strike while a slick service is also KYC and therefore part of a control mechanism. I also use it but I'll move to my own LN node soon.
This is what I was figuring - which is prob also why Plebstr won’t let me zap on iOS bc they aren’t using Strike.
Plebstr doesn't have a built in wallet like Primal does. The only two Nostr clients with built in wallets are Primal and Current.
As for Plegbstr. It's fairly old and outdated, not having any updates in a very long time. They're moving to a new unified decentralized app, combing Nostr and ActivityPub.
KYC? Really? It’s not KYC, you can write whatever you want. It doesn’t ask for a valid ID validated by a third party.
Just write and live wherever you want, it’s a check in the box from them.
