What’s the current favourite wallet choice for onboarding n00bs? Need something super simple for someone where they don’t want or need me going into some long winded bollocks about life, the universe and everything… cheers!

I think Damus have an inbuilt wallet now(?) ...if iOS.
Wallet of Satoshi (doesn't work for some people in US)
Minibits (I don't know too much about it but very easy)
Coinos, no app yet I believe but you can have a PWA
Yeah gonna try WoS, setting my other half up with an account… she doesn’t want me boring her with loads of tech details.
Yeah I would go with WoS where available
Do we know who’s behind WoS? I think I tried to find out once but then gave up.
Primal has a built-in wallet. I don't know anything more simple than that.
I think Strike meets the simplicity criteria. It makes it easy to buy with bitcoin; you can buy shopping vouchers on the app. Deposits and withdrawals are also reliable.
Muun is super simple too.
For hardware wallet, Bitkey has a simple interface and it is super secure.
Can't use muun on nostr. But muun is useful to easily transfer lightning sats to on-chain.
True. Misread the question Cashu.me and eNuts are imo the best for zapping, but I'd give them a 6/10 😅 for simplicity. Primal is great if privacy is not a primary priority for you.
Yeah long way off explaining Cashu and eNuts...
Yeah. Though I think these eCash alts are great for frequent transcations like zapping, they require a bit of effort to setup (like configuring mints and linking to your nostr account) and some mints get rugged (which I find frustrating), but Cashu.me provides a rating of each mint so you can choose the most reliable mints. Some humble advice: upload reasonable amounts of sats to the mints - amounts that wouldn't stress you too much if they are lost when the mint is rugged. Primal wallet is super easy, but doesn't provide the privacy, which means you could be accused of conspiring in things like terroristic/incriminating posts on nostr by merely zapping these posts.
