I guess the primal wallet is good to onboard new people. But I totally agree: I don’t like the kyc aspect

Good for onboarding + KYC = 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
I agree with you. It’s a red flag. Some might discover nostr and bitcoin through it, and then move to a better option-when they hear us say it’s a red flag 😂
I think it’s like worse than a res flag tbh. It’s potentially a recipe for disaster. I can’t explain more bc i am very dumb. But i think it’s a really dangerous situation
I don’t know if people hodl on the primal wallet. But yes. Primal wallet is not a good idea
It’s not just the bitcoin though is what i’m saying. Miljian confirmed today that there is a connection between the kyc data and the npub. But don’t worry it’s not shared! (🚩)
So people will see all these tweets and tiktoks and shit saying nostr is this open platform, you won’t get censored etc, and then find primal bc all their marketing and SEO stuff.
Easy to see scenarios where people get fired from their jobs and whatnot. Just ugly and sketchy all around.
Again i’m dumb and hopefully wrong to be so concerned. Change my mind pls 🙏😩
Oh…I did not know this. I wonder if the npub is compromised if you ever logged into primal. A bit like zbd
I just read his note about the kyc info linked to the npub 😬😬😬
I tried that wallet months ago. I used my nostrplebs email and a fake name…Still…not good
Right!!
That’s why i see people saying “i don’t like it” and i’m like SER THIS IS WORSE THAN NOT LIKING
Are we saying worse than not liking = scam…and should be memed as such ?
I mean it’s systemically duping people into entering their personal info so that feels like a scam yestr
Yeah, Primal's form wants first name, last name, location, email etc. It's just way too much. Wallet of satoshi is better as it only needs an email address. Phoenix seems pretty robust too.
Ultimately I highly doubt that anyone would truly hold btc sats in large amounts on any of these
Phoenix is non custodial. It doesn’t have a lightning address (to receive zaps) but it’s a great wallet for spending online. I actually keep more sats on that one since I hold my own keys. If you’re looking for a non custodial wallet that also has a lightning address for receiving zaps, you should check out nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5
It’s slightly more advanced. I started using it exclusively on nostr and I’m very satisfied 🫡
