KYC required for primal wallet stops me from "using bitcoin and nostr" together.
Not trying to be an a-hole, but just figured out why i can't activate my primal wallet. Also, while searching for info regarding primal wallet, a lotta posts indicate users are not even aware they're KYC'd. Maybe (hopefully) they're nubees, but it does seem to me that primal is not very transparent regarding KYC info.
Still admire your work and dedication, from a wannabee ride or die freak.
High time I stopped betraying myself
Thank you for this reminder @ODELL

That’s why I’m here. I was deplatformed from LinkedIn today. They want me to send a selfie + ID.
They can go fuck themselves.
Glad to be here 🫡
Just lie about it. Joe Smith and use a proton email. Fake DoB and so on. That’s not KYC, that’s just account creation. Do not conflate the 2. KYC is ID verification, with selfie + government issued ID. You don’t need neither to activate your wallet on Primal.
Well said! No one can take that power away 💪⚡
There’s a deep truth here that censorship resistant freedom tech doesn’t magical fix anything. It doesn’t make you free.
It simply offers an alternative manner of non-compliance usually with a different trust and risk model that is harder to enforce.

Might be a US issue
Have you tried activating it with a VPN?
