nostr:npub144rdkyhwy59ppp6k4d8s7vq8kpxhu6vlgh4v82mfvpmjjcse6grsxzag2d The Primal mobile app has a wallet, but it doesn’t work in New York because of the fucking BitLicense. (It uses the nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 API.)

So for a desktop wallet you will want to get a NWC connection.

nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm has moved to a self-custodial or “bring your own” setup, so you have a few options:

1. Use their Alby Hub Cloud service which spins up a hosted node where you hold your own keys. Easiest, but most expensive.

2. Install Alby Hub locally on either a LND node like Umbrel or Start9. Somewhat challenging for most people.

3. Install the standalone Alby Hub on a dedicated low-cost computer. You can use almost anything. I’ve gotten them set up on a Raspberry Pi.

4. Use a third-party custodial NWC wallet and import the connection string. Here are some options:

nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q is the easiest setup. It’s a full Nostr desktop/browser and mobile client, and they will give you an Uncle Jim wallet running on their own Alby instance. You just export the string and import it into getalby.com and any other client you choose.

lnwallet.app is a simple NWC service. Works pretty much the same way as above, but it’s not a full client, just a wallet service.

nostr:npub13tv0rauv3cgevcjzu298eg2ujd4j82ve6haer0lyu3rjuttw4a2s6mgea0 is a hosted wallet that lets you connect to any NWC wallet, so it works with Alby Go and Nostr clients.

Give one of those a try and report back!
