Not life savings, no.

But onboarding a noobie to #Bitcoin via a non-custodial Lighting wallet like Phoenix, yes.

And watching their face light up when they receive their first #BTC, without KYC/AML, a bank or government getting in the way? Priceless.

I onboarded a human to #Bitcoin yesterday via Phoenix Wallet.

And there’s still so much I have to learn.

Bitcoin *is* for them.

I’m researching the easiest non-custodial wallet(s) UX for a noobie when they’re out in public, at a bar or club or restaurant, where there are prying eyes and very little privacy.

Most peeps don’t carry pen and paper to write down 24-word seeds. And the idea of it is 100% foreign to a noobie. And I’d never have them type those 24 words into a Notes app on their phone.

I’m making sure I understand the noobies first-impressions and POV, and acknowledging their obstacles.

I’m all about moving the needle forward in UX so fewer noobies are left behind.

Thanks for the suggestion of Muun.

I also showed them Aqua, but all the options (Bitcoin, Lightning, Liquid, Tether) totally overwhelmed them.

Non-custodial for sure 💪 But won’t have a chance for follow-up since it was out of town.

nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq and Lightning are a much better fit for a pub or bar.

Unfortunately, WoS is not available in America. WoS pulled their app from the App Store and Google Play.

I also wanted the noobie to have a non-custodial wallet.

Check this out, and see if it is suitable.

Cool; thanks

I’d never sent anyone #BTC in-person before. It was definitely a learning experience for me and them.

At my grandson’s 13th 🎂 I spent 85% of my time talking #Bitcoin with one person, who just happened to be very interested in it but didn’t know who to talk to about it.

I got to see first-hand how a complete noobie reacted to first trying to use Cash App so I could send them BTC. This was a complete fail because when they went through the BTC side of Cash App, the app asked them to verify their identity with photo documentation, and they def did not want to do that.

So I had them install Phoenix Wallet, which didn’t ask them for any ID or email or password or anything. It was perfect.

Then they got to watch me struggle as I attempted to have them display a Lightning QR code on their phone, me scanning their QR from my phone, and having the transition fail because the $5.00 I attempted to send them wasn’t enough to cover fees. (Phoenix automatically fails a transaction if the fee is more than 50% of the whole amount being sent, which is a good thing.)

We tried again, and this time I had them display a Bitcoin on-chain QR code, that I scanned with my phone and sent them $10 worth of BTC. There were fees, but this time the transaction was successful. And they ended up with their very first Bitcoin. $6.68 worth 💪
