Primal for iOS 1.2 is now live on the App Store. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€ We bring you a much nicer wallet, now with support for on-chain payments, along with several social media features and fixes.

Primal can serve as both your daily spending wallet and your social media client. Let us know how you like it! ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿ’œ Wallet Features - Bolder bolt! - Start in wallet - On-chain transactions - Send via keyboard/paste - Scan QR code from image - Faster transaction display - Fiat currency display Other Features - Video uploads - Smart contact list Fixes - Keyboard issues - Rotated photos (sorry about that one!)

Hey KathAryn, we would love to try and fix this issue for you. We believe we have fixed this issue in our latest update, so would you mind retrying to upload the photo thatโ€™s being rotated? If this issue persists, please reach out to us via DM so we can solve this. Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic! That said the bug reported about the impossibility of using the camera for scanning QR codes in iOS 16 even with the right permissions persistsโ€ฆ Pasting addresses is my only workaround if I want to use Primal as a lightning wallet instead of WOS. Will keep waiting (my phone to break) ๐Ÿ˜‚ Great app though ๐Ÿป

Giving it a try. Would be nice to be able to zap someone and Damus doesn't let me do that.

I've signed in with my npub key but it wants my private key in order to interact. I'm still new at this...but is that right? I thought I had to die with my private key clutched tight in my hands ๐Ÿค” #newbie #asknostr
Strange. My guess is that this has something to do with camera permissions; maybe that setting got corrupted somehow on your device. Speaking of alternatives, we now also have the "scan image" feature (a button on the scan screen), so you can also do that.
iOS is for lazy and freedom haters. Same thing for android stock users.

I am also now getting push notifications on zaps โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜Ž - did I mention that primal iOS rocks? ๐Ÿ˜† - Well, #nostr rocks overall too. Many improvements and many more use case opportunities to initiate. It feels so liberating to have a decentralized social media protocol - LFG!
'buying sats with fiat via apple is excellent' apart from the privacy issue, encouraging users to use apple to buy bitcoin is not good.
if you aren't interested in self custodial money then there's no reason to want bitcoin at all. What is the purpose of custodial bitcoin vs fiat?
Isn't buying sats with a credit card through LND private? I think it is extremely difficult for you to find a lnd transaction... if it were on chain, then we would have problems. (obviously buying via p2p would be better, but this helps with adoption and we will soon reach hyperbitcoinization)
Unfortunately not everyone will have the opportunity or ability to self custody at the beginning of their journey so and itโ€™s not a one size fits all scenario. At least people will be able to build their savings in a currency with a supply cap (unlike fiat) and as their stack and knowledge grows, they will get in a better position to get their bitcoin to cold storage and / or some type of community fedimint. Most folks Iโ€™m lucky enough to introduce bitcoin to, I wont be able to set them up with a cold card within 10 minutes but I can onboard them to something like Primal, explain how bitcoin works, zap them some sats back and forth and send them down the rabbit hole of how to self custody their stack.
Something is up with the exchange rate in the wallet. Switching to USD gives a lower value than would be expected based on the current market.
Hey guys, $10 invoice from primal asks for $15 worth of sats from strike. This will be THE new orange pulling app for the US since wallet of satoshi is gone, but please get the conversion rate closer, itโ€™s like 50% higher than it should be. According to you that, bitcoin is new ath like $75k. image
why do you require PII when activating the wallet? looks strange on a permission less social network, isn't it? what do you need my PII for? image
