Primal has an integrated Strike-based KYC Bitcoin wallet. Not making any value judgements – I see the use case. Do you know whether they connect your npub to your KYC data? Has anyone looked at the code? Even if I was ok with KYC'ing with Strike, I would never connect the KYC data to my npub. Would you?

I would guess that in principle, it should be possible to build it so that they don't know which Strike user has which npub. Are they doing that? Or is there a database with npubs and identities somewhere? Would be great to know what we're dealing with nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg.

It’s likely they connect them even if by accident. For regulatory reasons they will at the very least be storing logs for a few years. Samurai leaked Xpubs despite explicitly being a privacy tool.

Primal Wallet KYC info is connected to the npub. We don’t share this info, per our privacy policy, but the connection exists. Users who want to ensure that their privacy is preserved should not use KYC-based wallets. Within Primal, you can do so by using NWC to connect to your Mutiny Wallet. This is only available on Primal for Android atm.

deep linking is simpler than NWC though. only maintenance required is adding new wallets, but that doesn't happen often. i don't think any wallets would change their deep link cause that would break things for everyone. you can just copy pasta this if you're using swift for iOS. https://github.com/damus-io/damus/blob/df20b67fc12d10bec362e79f2ef7f4205f532871/damus/Models/Wallet.swift#L39

Same, no offense to Primal, I think it's a great project, but privacy is important to me. The fact that there are so many other clients to use is THE super power for users. Nostr's the best.

Useful to have a lesser decoy. Better than disappearring completely is looking like you are active, but its only a small subset of your activity.

Not sure what you mean by "changes their wallet on primal .net". We don't offer Primal Wallet through a web interface yet. Do you mean change the browser extension you are using with the web app? That shouldn't affect anything on iOS.

Don't you already do the connection if you just simply set strike as your lightning wallet? You don't need in my opinion any integration. nostr:nevent1qqsf97w5dftrhq94q8u4tz96sx7l5pav3tp0wf353ge8nrnfu2gjaegpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqzypgdjn7zmpvqc6ptqud9gtutrcc6yq9s2z96h9dr80hss4wl9qwkxqcyqqqqqqgsrk065 #asknostr #nostr

Once the connection is made and then replaced by using NWC...is there still a history of the connection?
