Primal doesn't make any money on iOS in-app purchases of sats. Apple charges 15% in U.S. and Canada (30% elsewhere), Stike charges 1%. Apple might apply additional sales tax per their local app store rules.

These aren't cheap sats. The option is there so that newly onboarded users can experience Nostr zapping without friction. We deliberately limit these in-app purchases to $5 at a time and $50 max per day.

Note that the "receive" function on the Primal wallet works as soon as you activate it. Users who already own sats can load their wallet that way and zap away! ⚡️

Thanks for clearing things out nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr I appreciate it.

Interesting

People are shitting on this decision but I actually think it’s a great option for people. Nice job

The question is, why people still support Apple?

Why is Primal not taking a cut?

Why do I need to put my name and email to activate my wallet if I just wanted to receive into it without Apple Pay?

Hi Miljan. I enjoyed your recent Citadel Dispatch episode. I am very interested in what you said about Hyperinflation in Serbia in the 90s. Can you recommend and books or documentaries about this?Thanks.

I’m curious why it’s necessary to put personal info inc. email in to activate the wallet? Is there an alternative way to zap ⚡️ like using zapplepay with alby on Damus?
