Nostr Web Client

✅ Push Damus users towards a custodial wallet without privacy (see their default wallet connect screen below)

✅ Take zero responsibility when those users got rekt because of Damus integration choices

✅ Throw shade at Cashu and the people who actually build useful freedom tech

✅ Lecture other builders about what’s real bitcoin or real nostr

Look, Primal has a built-in custodial wallet with KYC lite. We make difficult tradeoffs to legally deliver a product that is usable by newbs. There are no solutions; it’s tradeoffs all the way down.

I have no issues with the Damus design choices. Also, running a custodial service is not a simple task, and mistakes can happen.

But this endless larping and virtue signalling is insufferable.

Do you see a future where nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgewaehxw309ahx7um5wf3ksetrdvhx6ef0wfjkcctej578wc removes KYC to use the wallet?

yes. we might be able to modify the custody tradeoffs in a way that would no longer require kyc. i don’t have a timeline for this, but looking into it.

Have you considered Cashu?

- Doesn’t require KYC

- Users can select their preferred custodian (removes liability from Primal if custodian is down)

- Provides Lightning and ecash capabilities (nutzaps/new features become possible)

- You can run your own npubx.cash server for providing Lightning addresses

- User’s balance and transactions (outside of public zap/nutzap events) are private

Here’s a quick demo to show how easy it could be to implement:
