Not being able to zap makes me wanna just put nostr down until it works again. Totally fucks with the experience in my opinion.

Whatâs broken?
Coinos I think. Unless itâs user error, which is always possible.
Primal is easy af. Why not use it? You can also use NWC to use the Primal wallet for sending in other apps like Damus and Nostr.
Isnât their wallet KYC?
They donât ask for your ID or photo or anything if thatâs what you mean. They do ask for some info and when I did it they only verified the email address.
Okay gotcha. Idk đ something inside me screams no when I think about using primal. Thatâs no offense to anyone that does
The primal hate is weird and high schoolish but thereâs a clique that likes to pretend it makes them cool to hate it. I ignore them and use it because itâs 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 thereâs hate groups for almost every client. I donât personally âhateâ 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 doesnât 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.
Thereâs the haters but then thereâs the âPrimal Derangement Syndromeâ haters 𤣠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 itâs 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 canât find a better solution. I know I can just use a burner email to âKYCâ, I just donât want to unless I have to đ
Yea lol. Another thing to consider is if youâre 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 itâs worth, Iâm 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 youâll find a solution that suits your needs!!
I like primal but itâs completely broken for me on desktop. I cannot zap anymore and follow people at all
I haven't been able to use it with Coracle yet.
If on damus, theres a zap enable script. If unable to fetch invoices⌠i usually retry 5-7 times and usually it works on the 3rd fetch try
Lol wow. Just use Primal. Much easier.
Yeah Iâm on damus and have zap script enabled. Itâs not even working for my retries, but it used to work fine, which made me think it was on coinosâ end, which some other users have already talked about (there being some sort of issue with coinos right now)
