We aren't fans of it either, but this is a legal requirement for offering a custodial wallet service. You can use your self-custodial wallet with Primal android and web apps via Nostr Wallet Connect.
Hey Primal users!
Now that everyone has upgraded to version 2.2, please let us know what you would like to see in the next release. Feel free to include feature requests, as well as fixes and small improvements that would make the product easier or more fun to use.
Contact list recovery (part of Primal Premium) is handy for people who jump between different Nostr apps.
Hey nostr:npub1eutm9acnp32qafs6t2pvgq0ehgnkvxeg8qavz8v8kz4unz7ywlmqy0uyaz, we have a contact list recovery utility in Primal Premium. I just assigned 12 months of premium to you, so you can access this in Premium / Contact List Backup.
Let me know if that worked for you.
This is big. Having a separate build for the U.S. App Store will suck, but hopefully Apple gets taken to court in more jurisdictions.
No, other users can't see it. It is temporarily accessible only by our backend engineers.
You trust all relays you connect to
Primal advanced search queries are stored temporarily for search performance analysis and optimization reasons. We used to keep this data for 30 days. Today we reduced it to 48 hours. The queries do include the npub of the user requesting the query because search results are user-dependent.
Primal has no business interest in using this data beyond improving the product for our users.
We'll let the users decide who did more in the past couple of years.
One key difference between you and me: I never attacked another Nostr project.
Now with Amber support I gave primal another shot. I wonder by which criteria they select DVMs that are shown. The caching service requests very often from all my DVMs, but only like 2 or 3 are even shown 👀 nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr
Welcome back!
We run a periodic health check and list all responsive DVMs. Can you share the npubs of the DVMs that are not showing up and we'll investigate?
Good bug. On Android the gallery renders when viewing the post directly, but as a quoted post it fails to render.

On both cases our android app is getting tripped by the nostr.download url. We'll fix it.
We just published a patch of Primal for Android, build 2.2.14, which fixes the zapping crash when an external NWC wallet is used.
Seems to be an issue with our Android app. Looking into it.
Which blossom server are you using? It's possible that it is not sending the correct confirmation response.
sorry about that; should be fixed now
Damus onboards everyone onto the same 4 relays, doesn’t support outbox nor blossom, yet you constantly larp about decentralization and lecture the rest of us about what a “real nostr client” client is. Hilarious.
Put your own house in order, then let’s talk.
Yes, known problem. We’re preparing a patch for tomorrow. 🫡
I don’t think ross used primal to create his nostr account. if he did he would have had proper NIP65 relays set.
I think we are further along outbox implementation than we are being given credit for:
1. When onboarding new users, Primal ensures that the default set of relays includes a combination of larger relays and “long tail” smaller relays. We are already contributing to the spread of content over the entire public relay infrastructure. In contrast, Damus uses the same 4 relays for all new users.
2. We leave relay hints in all user and event mentions, as well as “copy id” actions, so that outbox clients can find things.
3. By default, all Primal clients write directly to the outbox relays the user has specified.
Therefore, when it comes generating content on the network, Primal already does all the right things. Please correct me if I’m missing something.
What remains to be done is the ability to diversify ways of reading/discovering content. We can’t solely rely on the caching service; our clients need to be functional without it. We are working on it.
As for the “Primal isn’t a real Nostr client” claim, that's a bad look nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s. Let’s focus on building. Damus still needs proper outbox and blossom support. Maybe that’s where energy is better spent instead of fudding another project.
Hey nostr:npub1qdsjkr46urkg6vqrr3zqhgy8l7dazc5k9hlm5jmwqg0vft7hzgtqamgfw3 thanks for reporting.
We think we fixed the issue; can you please try again and confirm?
In the mobile app, on the home screen, tap the search icon and paste the address. In the web app on the desktop, just paste it in the search box in the top right corner.
You seem to be using the web app on the phone; I don't think we expose the simple search box there, sorry.
Is NIP05 search a premium feature for primal?
nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr
NIP05 search is available to all Primal users. Just paste the NIP05 address in the search box and you should get the result.
Thanks for the explanation.
My guess is that these reputable follower counts filter out *a lot* of real users. Remember, most people online are lurkers and don't post much content if any. Therefore they are not likely to be followed by reputable users.
We'll make all this happen frenz. 🫡
My new favorite podcast: nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc and nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft giggling like schoolgirls for an hour and occasionally saying something really smart.
It's delightful.
GM good people ☀️

We are working on improving this, but curious to get your take on what would be the ideal onboarding flow and first time user experience.
Working on it. It’s a bigger job than we anticipated, but we’ll get it done.
Agreed, we'll improve thread display
It's a feature that takes time to implement properly. If there is a lot of user demand (seems like there is), then we'll get right on it.
Who is interested in using Primal Wallet in other apps via NWC?
There’s a lot we don’t know about Nostr. That’s the fun part!
You can subscribe to Premium using our web app (primal.net). It will automatically be applied within the mobile app as well.
