What do you need? You can disable the internal wallet and connect any NWC wallet instead.
Any primal users able to assist with setting up a wallet? #asknostr

do you need to run / manage your own node for a NWC wallet? I was trying to get everything set up with ecash using pub.cash so I didn't have to deal with a lightning node but I can't seem to get a NWC string
No, NWC wallets take many forms. If you’re already running a node you can use Alby Hub, but you can also get a NWC string from a lot of other wallets. Just be aware that custodial wallets are not intended for long-term storage and you should not hold too much in them.
Here are a few ways you can spin up a NWC wallet to plug into Primal and other apps.

Also I forgot to add nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv which gives you NWC and ecash in the same wallet.
I thought I was good to go originally using minibits through Zeus but for some reason still couldn't find a way to generate the NWC string. I think I'll probably end up going with alby on my node and my own channels eventually... I just have some light ptsd from the last time I messed with lightning channel management 🤣
Yeah, I think it’s confusing because nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv is both a mint and an app. nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 supports NWC and ecash but it doesn’t generate its own NWC strings. You have to get those from other sources.
