What wallet do you recommend to a total nostr newbie rn? (Let's assume they are a total lightning newbie too, also you have no Alby invites to give).

Breeze

I've never tried breeze is it total newbie friendly? For some reason I thought it was more of an advanced wallet?

Don't think it has lnurl? (I couldn't find it anyway). Seems to require a setup fee. Don't think this is total newbie friendly maybe? πŸ€”

If you are wanting the most basic, then look at Wallet of Satoshi.

I'm just thinking what you would set someone up with who knows nothing about lightning or nostr. And I think wos is it.

Blink. Wallet of satoshi ! In that order ! Trying out phoenix πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯ for self- custody . Blixt is too complicated for normies . Yet to try Zeus maybe that’s cooler

Never heard of blink πŸ€”

Wallet of satoshi is a good option (unless they're US -based)

Check it out! Make a trial account . doesn’t require sign up so thats cool πŸ†’

hmm maybe mutinywallet.com if you can’t get into alby

I believe that requires a fee for set up(?)

Wouldn't be suitable for a total newbie if so

if they’re not willing to invest $1000 into their nostr set-up it’s not

worth it imo

a cashu wallet...

For a total lightning and nostr newbie?

πŸ€”

you say download this app and I'll send you a zap, he won't understand what it is, but I don't think it's any different with lightning

I only played around with a cashu wallet ages ago, and had to fiddle about with mints and whatnot. Which I don't think would be suitable for a newbie Maybe there are easier options now(?) and it's plug n play. Which would work for this scenario πŸ€”

it's still a little rough, but "nostr" is rough too

No I get it, and once a newbie has settled in a bit they can play about with the rough around the edges options and trickier stuff. It's just the initial, getting them set up first hurdle I was trying to figure out.

It's also somewhat annoying for the person trying to help them lol. So also somewhat selfish.

But yeah, I think throw them a primal link initially might work best

How about npub.cash and then transfer out? Enjoying Zeus for that

Perhaps too complicated to explain to a total nostr and lightning newbie?

Think wallet of the satoshi is the winner so far(?) which is a shame cos it's not available in the US

Zeus or wallet of satoshi have worked well for me.

Primal built-in wallet? ( i never use it ) i start with wallet of satoshi

Oh yeah forgot about primal wallet, that is a good option 🫑

πŸ€”Probably the best option for the scenario really, nostr account setup and wallet setup all in one go. No fee for wallet set up (I assume).

#Strike now because it’s simple and can be defaulted to in #Damus. Yes there’s KYC but works for small amounts around nostr. #Primal with its wallet integration is also simple.

Oh yeah, I think that it's also available in UK and Europe maybe πŸ€”

Yep. UK now, but be prepared to scan your face, upload ID, agree that β€œcrypto” is risky, and then endure a 24-hour cooling-off period. #BritishBullshit

Ah

Minibits!
