Hi everyone, I’m RoadAndRewards — a passionate bitcoiner and miner from Switzerland, convinced that fiat will eventually crash. New to Nostr and eager to connect with like-minded people.

I live a minimalist life, focus on smart finances, and enjoy traveling — currently building out a camper for future adventures.

I have a son who lives with his mother, and I make sure to spend quality time with him each month.

My hobbies include sim racing, building PCs, motorsports, and relaxing with strategy games like Anno 1800.

Health-wise, I’m into good nutrition — recently started baking sourdough and making kefir at home.

Professionally, I’m a jack of all trades in software, working with a company that runs very old systems — always plenty to improve.

I’m a Christian and value my faith deeply. Here on Nostr, I want to build a network of people who share my values and interests.

Looking forward to engaging with this community!

I don't use Gmail. It's terrible because it's from Google.

A true MAGIcian is patient.

A trick begins an hour, day, month, year, or decade before it is actually performed.

Likewise, a seed is planted that might take years to germinate.

Plant seeds.

Practice patience.

Witness the magic unfold…

If you value decentralization and privacy — and want to be taken seriously in the nostr space — I recommend steering clear of Primal and even recommending it to your friends.

I downloaded the app out of curiosity after hearing about it from others. I created a new npub but quickly discovered I couldn’t zap without submitting personal information. That immediately raised red flags.

As you can see in the screenshots below, the amount of information they request just to enable zaps is excessive. I submitted some placeholder info (definitely not my real name — that would be reckless), and shortly after, my account was flagged. It may have been due to a mismatch between my provided location and my IP address. I don’t know, and frankly, I don’t care to reach out and ask.

This level of data collection isn’t surprising, though — Primal reportedly raised $1 million in venture capital funding. Based on how many VC-backed projects operate, this likely subjects them to compliance obligations, including some form of KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements, especially for anything involving payments or wallets.

Bottom line:

Don’t recommend Primal. Don’t zap them. Don’t give them your money. There are better, more privacy-respecting tools in the Nostr ecosystem that align with the values of decentralization.
