I sent my barber a tip in #bitcoin

OPTION A: have them download Wallet of Satoshi. Now they don't own Bitcoin!

OPTION B: have them download Phoenix, Breez, or Muun. Now they actually own Bitcoin!

If you're choosing Option A, you are not a Bitcoiner. You are just larping.

Couldn’t agree more 🙌🏼

100%

i notice that both of you use getalby at least to receive bitcoin from nostr.

bitcoinrocks@getalby.com

yegorpetrov@getalby.com

from what i can tell that is custodial unless you are running your own lightning node. running a lightning node is way beyond the scope of 99.999% of society a good 5 standard deviations outside the norm.

currently NONE of the SELF custody wallets are allowed as lightning addresses on damus or primal.

I USE WOS to receive and breez to send.

Fair point, do you know of anyone building Lightning address support into a self-custody wallet?

Your missing the point. And keep in mind your talking to a guy that lost his shirt on Mt Gox:

Just one thought:

1.think of your lightning wallet as your “bill fold” you carry only a small amount of cash(cash for the weekend, or night out), rug pull won’t affect much.

2. Think of your “software” self-custody wallet as your checking account.

3.think of your hardware/cold storage as your savings account.

If you think that way, fees/convenience dominate the lightning wallet choice. And just like loosing your billfold (it sucks) but won’t affect your destiny.

Features/convenience dominate the “software” wallet. This wallet is self custody and keeps a month or so of working cash. Typically hooked up to an exchange for moving coin in and out, and sending to your LN wallet.

security dominates the cold storage wallet decision (e.g. multi-sig air-gap multi-vender etc…)

Doesn’t Mutiny now support this? And Zeus just announced they are about to roll it out too, I believe.

Running a lightning node on mobile with self custody of funds.

I know Mutiny has support for Nostr and zaps as well, I think Zeus will too.

Awesome, stoked for those! Will definitely add them to our guide once they launch / roll out the update.

Sounds good! I’m pretty sure Mutiny is already out now FYI! I still need to test it myself, but:

https://app.mutinywallet.com/

It’s in the beta just be careful

Yah still in beta, I will add it once it is out of beta

You can hook it up to Zeus

#[3]​ Thanks for the Zeus info! using this looks like a bigger effort, bookmarking this for later… will come back to it. Currently saturated in project overload mode.

nostr:npub13qv9uflfdn70c0zcccju7uxymwn407xjax4he2uq75qj5dp7klfqt74rrf is interesting for tips, teaches the receiver about Bitcoin when they claim the tip. If they don't, you get the SATs back... It appears you can even select a wallet to suggest to the recipient...

Yes Lightsats is great! Love their service especially for Birthday gifts.

Thanks for sharing this. will check lightsats out.

I use lightsats extensively. It's a fantastic solutuon.
