Huge congrats to nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg on their App Store release. The integrated Lightning wallet with the ability to acquire sats through Apple Pay is 😍. It’s a huge step forward in bringing nostr and bitcoin into a more mainstream audience and I’m totally here for it. Very, very well done.

Not ideal by any stretch of the imagination. 1. Its custodial 2. Apple gets 30% fee on you sat purchases 3. Now Apple knows all your sats purchases history

You can top up your wallet however you like, buying through the Apple Store was a requirement from Apple.

Apple Pay doesn’t have fees on top; 30% is for in-app purchases during the first year. So this is cheap+easy but KYC’d sats.

I take that back, it’s *not* using Apple Pay as the OP says. It’s in-app purchase which means the 30% fee is taken as you stated. 😕
