I am halfway through my tutorial series, "The Android Elite Setup," in which I walk the reader through setting up a source for Nostr apps and other open-source apps on Android (nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8), Amber signer app, a Nostr client (nostr:npub142gywvjkq0dv6nupggyn2euhx4nduwc7yz5f24ah9rpmunr2s39se3xrj0), a zapping wallet, Pokey for notifications, and Citrine relay.

I was planning to use nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch as the wallet for setting up zaps, but given multiple recent challenges with Coinos, I am considering switching it out for a different wallet.

Should I instead put nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 (with the new eCash support for those without a self-custody lightning channel just released in version 0.11.0), or perhaps nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv, or should I just continue as originally planned with Coinos, since it is still the most straightforward option? Other suggestions are welcome, as well.

Well... nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9g84ctjf is out. Though it is now easy to set up a wallet to receive zaps with Zeus's new eCash feature, you still cannot easily connect your Zeus wallet to a Nostr client via Nostr Wallet Connect for sending zaps.

So it's looking like nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rg20d4vz might be the way to go, unless others have suggestions.

Criteria:

- No KYC needed.

- No channel management needed.

- Lightning address for receiving zaps.

- Nostr Wallet Connect for sending zaps.

- NIP-57 support for zap receipts.

Yeah man, was gonna say ZEUS still has too much friction. Even on the receive side, you have to open the app to redeem.

Couple other good options:

1. Yakihonne provides an NWC-enabled Lightning address in its app. Just gotta log in with Nostr to set it up.

2. https://lnwallet.app is the quickest — literally just click the create wallet button. You immediately get the Lightning address and NWC connection string if I’m not mistaken.

As we know, they’re both custodians with varying levels of reputation so proceed accordingly. 🤙

I want to stay away from YakiHonne. Not because there's anything wrong with the client or wallet, but because I already have one client in the tutorial series and don't want to add a second, let alone just to get a wallet.

I hadn't heard of lnwallet.app before. I will check that out!

Keychat ecash wallet, set up with minibits relay and generate nwc string to use in other apps...then use npub.cash ln address for receiving, can then make ecash withdrawals to the keychat wallet.

Minibits mint*

I wouldn't recommend lightning for anyone who can pay their own bills, let alone a single particular lightning app
