I’ve had the same problem.

At the moment one of the best options for just starting up is nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q because they will give you a free sub-account on their Alby Hub, and it’s NWC compatible of course, and works instantly on every client without needing to open a channel. Once they’ve gotten comfortable with it and have enough sats, you can encourage them to start up their own Alby Hub.

Yes it is true, the wallet provided by Yakihonne is even simpler than the one provided by Primal, but strangely enough you were the only one to suggest it.

Unfortunately this is also custodial, I'm eagerly awaiting Walletofsatoshi's self-custody solution.

Agreed, that’s a trade-off but I feel better about it because the people who run Yakihonne and Alby are solid plebs who have earned their reputations. I always encourage self custody but you have to start somewhere, and this just works from the moment you set it up.

I’m in the YakiHonne team, too!

For zapping I think Is ok to have something custodial, in the end is a trade-off.

Phoenix has monstrous fees even for the smallest transaction, so it’s not a viable solution.

The point is educating people to move their sats once they reach a certain amount.
