I know I’m lame for still using WoS for zaps but it is dope they have the Auto-zap feature now. Getting closer and closer to not even leaving the Client to send zaps on mobile

I’m lame too. But it works so well. Remind me - what’s bad about it and what’s a good alternative?

WoS is centralized and there are privacy concerns. Other than that it’s a great product

Any wallet is centralized, right? It’s just a matter of wether you trust the company? Or are there decentralized wallets? I understand it’s not a self custody wallet, but it works so well so that’s the trade off. For small amounts it mskes sense to use it. Does anyone know about who’s behind W o S. Couldn’t find much about them? I also use Strike, but similar concerns

It basically comes down to, are you using your own node to send lightning payments or not to determine if it’s centralized or not.

I agree though, it’s such a small amount of coin that I don’t think too deep about it

I’m lame too. Lightning has a lot of friction and barrier to entry for folks like me who more or less always been end users, depending on simple interfaces.

I managed to get Zaps outgoing via my Umbrel but still use WoS to receive. I cannot seem to Alby’s Nostr Wallet Connect, Zeus or anything else set up to RECEIVE LN transaction on Nostr.

The education continues…

I’m in the exact same boat
