The primal hate is weird and high schoolish but there’s a clique that likes to pretend it makes them cool to hate it. I ignore them and use it because it’s a great app. But my point about NWC is that you can just use Primal for the wallet if you still want to use Damus or Nostur or Amethyst or whatever. In Primal you can create a wallet connection string (like CoinOS gives you) and then paste that into any Nostr app, and then Primal just becomes you sending wallet for that app.

Yeah there’s hate groups for almost every client. I don’t personally ā€œhateā€ primal or judge others for using it, I just prefer clients that use nostr.build for file sharing and non KYC signups. I may consider using their wallet if this Coinos thing doesn’t resolve soon, but I would rather stick with Coinos ya know? I also have wallet-switching fatigue. Even primal has had issues with their wallet they had to resolve.

There’s the haters but then there’s the ā€œPrimal Derangement Syndromeā€ haters 🤣 But yea the wallet switching gets tiresome. CoinOS started having a lot of issues for me so I stopped using it. Primal wallet has been working well and the few issues it’s had have so far been resolved quickly. Anyway, nothing to push on it. Just giving you my experience.

Yeah and it may be my reality if I can’t find a better solution. I know I can just use a burner email to ā€œKYCā€, I just don’t want to unless I have to šŸ˜‚

Yea lol. Another thing to consider is if you’re only going to use the wallet and link it to other apps with NWC, you could do so with a burner nsec in Primal too.

For what it’s worth, Iā€˜m mostly using nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq (custodial) or nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 (non-custodial). Since I use nostr:npub1zdr58j526qsrkdjhcg9xs60xfutqeey2ucugms04efnlx3spnmns2eqha9 for my NIP-05 identifier, I defined a wallet identifier there and use that in my profile. So whenever I need to switch wallets, I just point my wallet identifier to the new wallet without changing anything else. Works best for me & I can highly recommend that setup. Hope youā€˜ll find a solution that suits your needs!!

I like primal but it’s completely broken for me on desktop. I cannot zap anymore and follow people at all

I only use the mobile app and it’s fantastic

Yea primal not too shabby although I use Damus the most

On desktop Nostur has a native app for macOS that has been amazing.

I haven't been able to use it with Coracle yet.
