Wait what?
How are they allowed to?
This cool now you can buy sats with a 30% markup and check out the frog casine
Is there a premium on buying sats?
do you need alby on iOS too for this?
Nope

#primal สำหรับการเปิดตัว App Store กระเป๋าเงิน Lightning ในตัวที่มีความสามารถในการรับ sats ผ่าน Apple Pay 😍 มันเป็นก้าวสำคัญในการใช้ nostr และ bitcoin Lightning
#siamstr
Probably cuz it involves giving Apple their 30% cut
$5 ≈ 12,953 sats
$5 ≈ 12,953 sats
Not ideal by any stretch of the imagination. 1. Its custodial 2. Apple gets 30% fee on you sat purchases 3. Now Apple knows all your sats purchases history
True but perfect for like %90 of consumers.
Buy in Thai baht too expensive
199 THB (~$5.7) = 8,880 sats.

I know there will be lots of people complaining about the use of the app store payment rails for acquiring sats - but that was undeniably the fastest and easiest experience I’ve ever had creating and funding a lightning wallet. Well done
@primal !!
Yes kyc!
In next updates can I send sats to Google pay or Samsung pay in android system or just this service for ios system?
Já tentei, mas não funciona no iOS 15.
Apple Pay doesn’t have fees on top; 30% is for in-app purchases during the first year. So this is cheap+easy but KYC’d sats.
Thank you! 🙏
Yeah 30% to Apple, but it’s still fantastic fun for new people. I love all this going on. Just a year ago we had none of this . 🔥
So impressed with the quality of your work and super-excited for the role that
@primal is going to play navigating nostr into the mainstream. I’ve been advocating for clients to build in wallets with acquiring for a long time and yours is the best execution I’ve seen. So well done, miljan 👏

It really was done so nicely

Thanks to Preston for referring me to Primal
wait I can only see this on my end, halo!
@primal
iOS 17.1.1 btw.
lol what a scam.
This is akin to a utility price gouging for electricity. Google and Apple have to buy the government because they know the reality is that at some point in the future, they will be regulated as public utilities
Congrats
@miljan on launch 🚀
No self respecting Bitcoiner that loves freedom and privacy should use or be involved with Apple products or their walled garden ecosystem.
Spreads used to be wide on btc. They will tighten over time. The 30% is a foothold in ease of onboarding people to freedom tech. If the market demands it, they will seek it and bypass apple.
It’s so good
Why can’t I find this in the App Store
Love it
I don’t see it in the App Store (am using it on Test Flight though)
That's amazing! But the premium is like.... 40%? Right?
Beware - Apple takes 30% of the payment when bought via Primal. Best to send sats in for another wallet. cc
@prestonYep but it’s fun and Apple will always be thieves.
Lol, I need a Name and verify my Email address? Thats so 2022. Don’t like it, other than that the client looks nice and intuitive.
With the way the UK keeps blocking Bitcoin adoption, I wouldn’t be surprised if I lose close to 30% on a regular buy anyway. Couple that with the hassle of jumping through hoops having to convert currencies, moving through different platforms etc, it takes up a lot of time and effort.
Honestly, if it’s just for a zap wallet, this sounds like a smooth experience and I wouldn’t mind losing the 30% to just be able to top up small amounts.
The Like and Zaps buttons do not work for me.
How do you withdraw sats from primal? 🤔
You can send to another wallet, would be my guess. Probably not designed with the typical wallet concept of withdrawing in mind though.
I take that back, it’s *not* using Apple Pay as the OP says. It’s in-app purchase which means the 30% fee is taken as you stated. 😕
you can do the same with
@npub1curr...sh3w App as well..! 🤙
To be fair, all exchanges take a cut. Apple just takes more than normal.
🙌
The exchanges are selling the bitcoin. Apple is just using their hardware to gatekeep software.
It’s not the same. It’s a monopoly.
Woahhh impressive
