Nostr Web Client

cashu is not bitcoin.

giving up sovereignty for custodied privacy is not a tradeoff I will ever make. not to mention it completely screws over node runners by forcing everyone into custodial solutions to transact.

run nodes, they are the most private thing you can do.

✅ 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.

I love Damus, but I've been saying this before, also coinos has a very bad track record too.

Uno 2mo ago

However not a fan of cashu either.

hltn 2mo ago

What has coinos done to give them a bad track record? I have recommended them before so I need to know if I should stop that.

Ryan 2mo ago

They can't even secure they're own Nostr keys. It really makes you wonder. It's happened multiple times.

Uno 2mo ago

Keep getting hacked, the companies own Npub was compromised too, said their users npubs were stored, and could have been leaked, and one time they lost track of account numbers and didn't know how much money each person had.

The Daniel 🖖 2mo ago

Their entire database got corrupted a few months ago. And early on they were storing nsecs and some users got compromised.

on a sidenote, does primal still have a sats store? the sats icon on the upper right corner in the wallet is no more there and prior to that, buying sats in the wallet stopped working (on android)

Cashu has no path to becoming non-custodial, while Lightning does. In fact, the intersection between relays and LSPs is akin to a match made in heaven.

Instead of working on that, everyone just uses shortcuts and argues with each other.

BITKARROT 2mo ago

This.

Also, Compete.

Don't waste cycles complaining.

You guys with capital are wasting your runway.

What does attacking others usually say about the attacker?

SATsStandard 2mo ago

Yes, I can't connect same wallet and unable to access my sats, after switching from IOS android

I have to connect damus to the same device to access my sats on coinos

What if device is lost?

Do you see a future where nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg removes KYC to use the wallet?

miljan 2mo ago

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.

lemon 1mo ago

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:

Is there a Primal web / desktop self custody wallet?
