I agree on principle but given that this is an Alby Hub instance run by Yakihonne with no incentive to rug anyone, itโs a great way for a new user to bootstrap until they can upgrade to a fully self custodial NWC wallet.
As a Nostr client, if they became a bad actor and drained everyoneโs accounts, they would face the wrath of the entire community. So perhaps I should rephrase it to "little incentive to rug." The same level of incentive as Primal, for example.
And for a brand new user with no Nostr or bitcoin experience, asking them to download and set up a completely different app alongside their client is simply too much. Curious to know if you have ever actually tried to onboard people in person. It's an eye-opener.
This is where it definitely helps to know the people behind the client. I've met the Yakihonne team on multiple occasions, so they have my vote of confidence. The thing I always tell anyone is never put all of your sats into a single place, and learn how to transfer out of wallets used for zapping to wallets used for HODLing.
Covered that in my book like this:


I might revise that downward. A month is a lot. Maybe two weeks, max.
Yeah, definitely depends on your comforts, your stacks, and what youโre actively doing with it at any given time. Based it on income to make it relative to the person reading. This seemed to match the risk levels acceptably.
Glad to hear that, we are here to deliver ๐
Keep it up ๐ซก
