Phoenix
Strike
Aqua and Fedi Bravo. 👍🏻
It’s not the best, but for absolute beginners it’s hard to beat WOS.
Alby, works great and easy onboard
Coinos
O oh
No way someone can download strike and sign up in 30 seconds
Alby & LaWallet
For the start I think it’s fine to use wallet of satoshi
I’ve started with bluewallet. But you can only use it for onchain
I loved the separated overview with the blue and orange design.well …
Mutiny.
Have used Speed Wallet for a few. ⚡️ Sometimes super fast, don't need email. Other times requires email, some issues with verification.
ShockWallet.app
With Aquas added unlock in bravo release, it is my recommended open source starter wallet. Just recommended it to everyone at our conference today.
Aqua for noobs - my son is loving it
Lightning to liquid integration on @AQUA Wallet is very slick. Also cool how they split saving and spending wallets, and there’s USDT for fiat maxis
Primal, lifpay
ayequa
Wallet of Satoshi
Minibits if on android and wanting to easily use nostr with no personal identifying information
At the moment either easiest ones are any cashu webwallet, eNuts apk, minibits , primal for STARTERS
Then once they learn a bit move to others Phoenix Blink etc
biggest problem with bitcoin since 2010 bitcoin core to today 2024 EASY of RELIABLE SAFE USE with custody by NORMIES. LN LQ RGB is not the issue. neither the mainnet fee
@strike is the most normie friendly
Here in Brasilian i have Aqua
Aqui no Brasil estou usando Aqua.
If the one knows a bit about tech, Zeus, otherwise, Phoenix⚡️
Bitcoin Jungle, they made a lot of normies country people and farmers use it, easy
Minibits for no-KYC and Primal for light KYC.
Once Mutiny has lighting addresses for everyone it will probably be my primary suggestion.
Aqua fren…….
Many good wallets, I prefer Aqua!
Depends on the person
I use @Alby for Nostr, though you now need an invite code due to some sort of nonsense.
Primal is the easiest in most the US because it’s Nostr-powered and there’s no channel setup, but I make sure to remind them that it’s custodial and they will also need to use another wallet (usually Zeus) where they hold the keys.
For those who live in the People’s Republic of New York, I usually start with LightningTipBot and show them how to connect it to Zeus where they can then create a self-custodial wallet in the same app.
Legitimately don’t have me now that WoS is gone. They all come with too many stumbling points for the average normie. Muun / Breez are probably the best beginner options but I’d still worry about them fucking something up.
I don't find it neither on Play Store nor on F-droid. Where to find Minibits, please?
I don't find it on Play Store or F-droid. Where to find Minibits, please?
minibits.cash
Thank you. But I live in Bangladesh why there it's not available. 
Download the apk on android. Dev airdrops the updates in app for approval. Is custodial cashu ecash with LN bridge and LN address.
Thank you, fren. This disclaimers discourages me at the moment. 
Thank you. 🙏
😯
CORRECTION: Thank you. But I live in Bangladesh WHERE it's not available, THEY SAY.
primal
If they use Android: Minibits
If they use iPhone: Primal
Optimizing for them having a ready to go Nostr receive address to spend and receive zaps and bootstrap themselves into the bitcoin ecosystem. Can worry about on-chain, cold storage, multisig etc LONG after they orange pill themselves with Nostr zaps.
Muun Wallet.
Wallet of satoshi
In spite of all the negative comments on aqua for not being a real lightning wallet, ecc. I really like it, it's very easy to use and the fact you truly have custody of the liquid btc keys (with a Jade for example on green) i really like, especially in these high fees times!
Aqua for sure
@strike FTW
Breez & Primal
Had been Muun, but a new user I was tutoring was immediately worried about the "network is congested, high fee" warning due to Runes.
Likely will be Aqua next time
Most of my friends are reeeeeally normie, and already using cashapp, so I help them use the btc/lightning features in cashapp. Then, I help them move to Alby. After that, I move them into Zeus, eNuts and node running.
WoS. Then go from there and teach nyknyb.
Alby
hey guys I'm new to primal, can someone tell me how to customize nostr lightning address
My favs are Zeus and mutiny but for someone with zero or near zero familiarity with btc the ux of Muun blows them away.
I’ve had multiple friends ask about btc in the last year and I usually offer to set them up a Muun wallet and I send them $25-50 worth of btc on lightning. If they persist in their interest I recommend River for btc purchases, Zeus or mutiny for a full time lightning wallet and nunchuck with cold card tapsigners to get started.
If they go whole hog in I try to introduce them to sparrow and foundation passport vs cold card Q (now that it’s available) and discuss running a node.
I struggled with WOS (could send but not receive) and mutiny. Zeus was a breeze to link with full features working right away. Hope this helps. 🌅
I'm really enjoying Blink, it has a nice daily limit without KYC.

@Blink Wallet
Because it's reasonably easy to setup and use and has great feature support.
It then opens the conversation deeper after providing a great first experience.
We had to add invites to our shared node product for strong reasons. It has to do with bad robots and other reasons as well.
But no worries, ...We hand invites codes by request to our support email support@getalby.com and by Nostr Dms.
Also, we are working on a product that might not need the invited code system at all, we are still researching on this.
Thanks!

I figured as much. I did hear about some sort of attack on your shared node, but the bot attack must've been a struggle to deal with.
Zeus
It's not an attack. it's called popularity ;)
