Don't think so. Nostr will remain a failed experiment until it can give users 1/ credible exit (relay-decentralise-max), and 2/ consensus on key rotation between client devs... and a few other things. Jack Dorsey's unwillingness to promote nostr on Rogan etc. speaks volumes.

NIP-17 not sure. NIP-17 groups a security risk imo. One-to-one use case seems solid though.
I'm on Primal (desktop if that matters) and I'm trying to connect my Alby Hub via NWC. I was able to connect it to Stacker News and Zeus just fine via NWC, but when I paste the connect secret into Primal, it just says it's active, but it doesn't automatically resolve on the Alby Hub side like it did for Zeus and SN. It just keeps spinning saying it's taking longer. And it won't let me zap 😟
i don't use Alby Hub, but i just went into Primal Settings, Connected Wallets, and added my Cashu.me Wallet and it worked immediately. *shrug* I know that doesn't help... Why don't you just use the Alby Extension on desktop with your NWC node?
