Same, I use Damus myself, always have. But was trying to onboard a new nostrich today and finding it frustratingly difficult to get them set up.
Primal has easiest onboarding, but then you are locked to their wallet.
I tried to set them up with Coinos wallet on Damus, but I can figure out how to select Coinos as the default zap wallet on Damus.
WOS no longer available to new users in US so that seems to be out too...
Just use nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 & open a channel with Olympus & be done with the hassle.
This may be the best way atm. ⚡
Trying to onboard a total newbie so was looking for something simple, hence WOS or Coinos seemed first choices. Was hoping to abstract away the channel setup etc.
Coinos NWC Connect made it easy but you control nothing. I too have tried to avoid the node, channels, and other intricacies of self LNL setup, but see it as the only real way forward. 2025 goal is to run my own node for all.
Yeah it’s a damn shame wos left us high n dry lol but self custody is much better n e ways.
But I get it as channel shit is really to much for noobs imho…
I had these same issues with Primal and couldn’t even get their wallet to work, but Damus + Coinos did the job for me on iOS. I still need a good experience for desktop though.
How did you manage to set up damus + Coinos though? I don't have Coinos in the dropdown Wallet Selector list.
Copy the coinos NWC connection string and manually paste in Damus.
Idk, I'm obviously doing something wrong or missing something ridiculously simple lol! 😆
Click on the setting wheel next to the wallet in Coinos
You’ll also have to run the script to turn on the zap icon in Damus which is hidden by default due to Apple Store policy.
In damus go to the profile and change the address there, then in settings look for zaps to choose correct wallet
Right, we've updated their receiving zap address to their new Coinos wallet LN address, but Coinos isn't in the dropdown list under Zaps wallet selector.
Click on coinos home icon then the gears icon on the right. That lets you copy the NWC string
I see same problem with Yanihonne. The drop down with wallet options is limited. I started on Amethyst and maybe I'm mistaken but I'm sure I just added my blink address (a wallet chosen at random). Easy onboard. KISS especially on an open network.
