I'm trying out different clients and wallets again. I've started typing this note on a few different ones. Maybe these experiments or feedback can be useful to share.
@primal +
@Minibits has been a reliable combination, with no need for Google Play Services. Now I'm seeing if I can use a regular lightning wallet, not Spark or Cashu. I don't know if Ark will eventually join this space.
I wish
@ZEUS had a better name, but has #NWC (under the Tools menu), and maybe others will soon too. I'm trying zaps using their lightning wallet.
@Amethyst zaps seemed to work, I think. But there doesn't seem to be a way to add a message with them. Tagging npubs isn't convenient when profile images load slowly. I don't mind the robotic placeholder images, but they don't help see which is which. Writing this message, it crashed a few times, and I switched clients.
@hodlbod 's #Coracle wouldn't accept the NWC connection, and didn't for Minibits either. But the menus were easy to navigate - I do like it.
@primal zaps worked from Zeus, and I really like having customizable default zap amounts and messages. I'm just not excited about 3.0 and the icon change. So often, the old ones are better.
@utxo the webmaster 🧑💻 's #Wisp is new but looking promising. But the NWC connection kept timing out, with Zeus or Minibits. I like the screen for writing notes. It's simple but helpful, saving drafts is cool, and it shows the hashtags I've used below the note, and previews the note before sending! The picker for tagging people is really nice, except that it seems restricted to people I follow, not just listing them first, and trying to delete the space it adds deletes the name. "Retweet" isn't a term I thought I'd find on Nostr, and using the app logo as a placeholder for profile images is a bit confusing.
@YakiHonne has their own wallet that doesn't ask for unnecessary information, which is great. But the sats I sent to it might have been lost - it shows a note that someone "zapped" me, but it doesn't show up in the wallet balance. The NWC connection to Zeus worked, but zaps kept showing insufficient balance even though there was plenty of room in the NWC limits I set. I like YakiHonne and might make it my main one if zaps worked. The zapping screen allows for messages, but defaults to 1 sat, which isn't my preference. The idea of having multiple wallet options is cool, and of writing articles and notes from the same place.
@Zapstore isn't a wallet, but I tested zaps there too. The connection worked, but the zaps timed out. I can still zap devs on Nostr, though.
Interestingly, after writing on a few different clients, I sent this from #Wisp.
