**We urgently need something like NIP-60** Wallet choice needs to be baked into the protocol layer or we lose… and this entire experiment becomes another walled garden We Chat / We Pay money travel rule compliant surveillance system. Primal has proven it… Primal KYC’s users and sends that data through Strike’s KYC API. They don’t make this explicitly clear. Both companies could integrate NWC, they have chosen not to. This leads to a centralised point of failure and doxxes every wallet user on their platform, which ends up doxxing all of us. While Mallers goes around talking about “freedom”—there is no freedom without choice. Use another client you say? that’s not the point. At a certain point one client could gain functional dominance. Non-Bitcoiners will eventually flock to NOSTR for freedom. Wallet choice needs to be baked into the protocol layer or we lose.

To be fair, Primal's wallet on mobile was in the works before NIP-60 was a thing, and they also wanted to have the ability for users to buy some sats directly within the wallet to get them started zapping. They built Primal with the assumption that their target demographic would be non-Bitcoiners. Also, Primal DOES have NWC support on Android. Just not on iOS yet, and I have heard they are planning to add NWC for their wallet, too, so you can use it with other Nostr clients. Would LOVE to see NWC come to Strike as well. Wen NWC @jack mallers ? That said, the inability to completely replace the Primal wallet with a NWC wallet, including balance and send/receive functionality in the wallet tab, is one of the criticisms I had about Primal on Android in my review of the app, which you can find at www.nostr-reviews.com NIP-60 wallet integration as a standard among all Nostr clients is probably a ways off. We can't even get NIP-46 support for remote signing as a standard among all clients yet... Here's to hoping it catches on quickly, though!
