The fact that you know what lightning and a tap signer is, is a good indication that you're not the target audience for this product

I just got access to try out nostr:nprofile1qqsrs20qpc4hlq0ef7s3q0k7swlp79q8ys5eex3hxtmg40fccvr4yhspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qzxthwden5te0wfjkccte9eeks6t5vehhycm99ehkuegprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezucm0d9hxvatwvshxzurskuxa67 Wallet 🧡
As a regular user of Bitcoin though, I am just not sure how an on-chain, mobile, hot wallet fits into my financial life.
If I'm going to use a mobile on-chain wallet I'd go with muun (because lightning interoperability) or nunchuk (with a tapsigner or passphrase). I guess Bitcoin via email is cool, but it's still too early for me to even find an opportunity to use that feature.
P.S., I've got 5 invites if anyone wants to try it out, although I assume you need already have a protonmail account.

Yes, true. Still would be hard for me to recommend to someone new to Bitcoin. Not a great initial Bitcoin experience to get a few thousand sats stuck in an on-chain wallet because fees went up. Or find out that it doesn't work when they go to pay a lightning invoice.
Still optimistic though, it sounded like lightning was on the roadmap from the interviews I listened to and proton is a great source of new bitcoiners 👍
Yea. Hopefully they position it more as a savings wallet and then encourage users to learn about lightning for small payments
