this is not exactly what I was looking for. Your opinion is greatly appreciated boss 🫡

Some argue their go to onboarding is custodial, like Primal or WOS. what are your thoughts?

I’d argue most people should be using a custodial wallet.

For those of you following along from home, AlbyKit (swift SDK to interact with Alby’s wallet API) is feature complete. There is still some testing and documentation work to do. https://github.com/SparrowTek/AlbyKit

Well I think Zeus works for iOS too ... It is not native but a very nice lndhub client app that works with alby

I love native apps. And I love building them. I can’t help it

I’ve made a lot of progress on this. A native iOS app for Alby will be launching within Q1 of this year. nostr:note15u53mgepu0xnuarjneztvzrezdh256e2q6adkzmycgu076fcxdcswk4evh

slowing converting from a rust skeptic to rust maxi. the compiler will initially frustrate you but it is really just trying to teach you something important.

The haskell compiler is similar in a way: it forces you to think about the separation of side effects from pure code. Rust forces you to think about the correctness of references to objects in memory.

Initially it is frustrating but in the end it leads to enlightenment.

Which do you like better, rust or swift?

Getting poorer has always been easy for normal people as the system make them poorer and the normal people have no way to fight that.

Fighting to not get poorer is not as easy as doing nothing but it's possible by everyone and it's getting easier with each new innovation and growing adoption.

Everyone has a different difficulty level they are willing to accept to get out of it. Once it's reach for a majorty, thing will go very fast.

Normal people who let someone else custody their sats have no sats.

You and I understand this. But I’d argue most people would read this sentence and have no idea what the hell you’re talking about. We need to make Bitcoin easier so the “bank” is self custody.

Do you understand what banks do? The first thing is creating another 200M BTC IOUs.

Because normies don't care you will feel the pain no matter if you self-custody or not.

I understand banks and bitcoin. Bitcoin, as it is today, is way too complex for normal people.

I think most normal people should have a “bank” custody their sats. But self custody is an option for those of us who want it. Everyone wins

Cool. Are you thinking of a mobile wallet app or a mobile browser extension for iOS?
Avatar

Mobile wallet app for iOS. Similar to wallet of Satoshi but using Alby. I already started work on an SDK to interact with Alby’s API https://github.com/SparrowTek/AlbyKit

I kind of just want a BitKey hardware wallet. I know it’s not the most secure but damn is it easy and convenient and an iOS app!? nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m and nostr:npub1yk3pjtw0xnpmuvnf3z6un72z42t83xye69d4jsfxq2z54pera85qcwyya6 and team built something amazing.

This might be an unpopular opinion on nostr, but I really think custodial Bitcoin lightning wallets are what normal people should use.

Is there any need for a native iOS app to access Alby? I’m thinking of making one.
