So I am using nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0s0pfy4z and haven't been able to zap people for a while, although I can receive zaps. So I'm trying to sort that out this morning. Alby says I need to upgrade to my account and link a wallet, and that I can link my Alby wallet. No problem. But when I try, it looks like I either pay for Alby Cloud or set it up in ways that I'm not technically familiar with (and am not interested in learning at this point - self-hosting Alby Hub).

So I guess I'm looking for a lightning wallet to connect for zaps. I have seen suggestions for Phoenix, Breez, and Mutiny. It looks like I have to pay 40k sats just to get Mutiny up and going (am I right about that?).

Do people like Breez or Phoenix? Are there similar fees to get it up and going?

I guess I could just get the wallet in Primal going... I like the idea of having a lightning wallet that isn't strictly for nostr though... #asknostr

Mutiny? Thought they shut down...

At any rate, anything self-custody, like Phoenix, is going to have a bit more cost to set up, because there is an on-chain transaction involved, and you may also have LSP fees for them locking up liquidity to you, so you can receive right away.

I agree that custodial is fine for zapping. Primal's wallet is provided by Strike, and you can use it for zapping AND as a regular lightning wallet for any other type of lightning transaction. It's not a terrible option, though they are required to obtain some KYC since the wallets are provided via Strike, which is a regulated money transmitter.

If you want something you can sign up for without KYC, check out nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rg20d4vz or nostr:nprofile1qqs890du277adh7yucng2pgaaqzp69yv8350us4lxq0hr2nv75l997cd4rmzp .
