I discovered something admirable about #Coinos.

I spoke on Telegram with its creator and learned that he did this service as a passion and a gesture of generosity having he bought Bitcoin very early he was lucky enough to leave his fiat job and devote himself to this non-profit project.

It seems hard to believe but that is exactly what it is.

I like coinos. Donโ€™t need an exchange like boltz anymore! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Why don't you need Boltz with Coinos anymore? I don't understand what you mean

Everything I send to Coinos is automatically swapped.

No, if i send 2 Liquid Bitcoin to coinos. I can send this BTC to Lightning, Bitcoin or Ecash Wallets. it automatically swaps into the corresponding asset.

But it's still a custodial wallet, you're not sending them to your cold wallet, right?

Yes! I only hold daily spendings on coinos.

For a custodial solution, nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev is really hard to beat. You can definitely see the passion in the quality of what they've built.

Even though my main Lightning wallet is self-custody on my nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz3rhwvaz7tekd3jks6rev3ehyargv9nk66tnxe6h2dn5w43kuerk0fmnwcm4vfc8z6mgweu8j7fhdfhkjmmrxs6k66mnwg6x2cty9ehku6t0dchsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxjmnxduhs5nd6j2, I am also a very happy user of CoinOS from time to time, like when my node was down over the past day.

Me too.

I think you'll find that's the case with many prolific builders that haven't been funded. I fit in neither category ๐Ÿ˜„

Interesting, been meaning to check out coinos. I believe an app is still in the works.

Can you send lightning-to-onchain? ๐Ÿค”

You can do that and much more. For example today I discovered that swaps are even cheaper than Boltz.

I'm not entirely sure what that means. I'll have to look this up lol.

But it looks like a great wallet. Very good one to recommend a new person too. If / when it has an app I'll definitely be recommending it

Actually the web app is more than enough. If you want to use an app you can connect your Coinos account inside the Alby Go app.

Sure. I think I am happy to use it. I was more thinking of giving it to someone who is totally new to nostr, ie they wouldn't have Alby, and it gets a bit confusing having to send them to so many places to do so many things. Not ideal when you just want someone to jump straight in. They can explore more complicated set ups later, or something.

When I set it up, it put an app like button on my phone. I guess it just links to their webapp, idk how these things work, but srsly cannot tell the difference.

Ah yes a pwa! Good idea.

I'm just realising that is also what you maybe meant nostr:nprofile1qqs0fk6jwz7ejxchh6s7d5p473w7uwffr8pfga9m4sgrgtfz836wp5qpr9mhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5q3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpzfmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuegx4hcjd

I just got confused with the album thing you mentioned, cos I have no idea what that is myself lol

You can just run it in any browser, mobile or desktop. Works like a charm.

super cool, but remember that boltz swaps are trustless, the coinos swaps are fully trusted

Similar story behind Wallet of Satoshi

The guy behind it just wanted to help bring Bitcoin to the masses.

That same guy has almost zero ego & refuses to respond to the FUD thrown at him.

I didn't know that, but I don't know him anyway.

i setup a @coinos on monday. and ive told all my irl btc friends to do the same, good product!

I fucking โค๏ธ CoinOs and have had no complaints yet. That dude Adam also answered my questions pretty quickly when I emailed them.
