nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7cnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqqyztlsj9de3xxyangtljggfk72c2gsly22xk6q35va3clh2fcyu53zn2se56 is one of the easiest custodial lighting implementations I have every used. It is super easy NWC and it just works! I don't really like to advocated for custodial services, but I have to give credit where credit is due. There are a lot of shit apps wrapped around lightning (and even LND and CLN are mostly shit as they fail a lot to preform successful transactions); however, nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7cnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqqyztlsj9de3xxyangtljggfk72c2gsly22xk6q35va3clh2fcyu53zn2se56 makes it super easy. I have used a lot of lighting apps over the years and this is a breath of fresh air. Also, since it works so well, it makes the cashu movement irrelevant, imho. You create an account use a VPN and use a fake email and your are in! That is it. You can start sending and receiving BTC right away. Yes, it is custodial, but there is no link to your identity. THEN, you can connect it to all your NOSTR apps via NWC! So, nice!!!

Thanks for the recommendation. BTW, this is unrelated -- but -- founder@zaps.sovransystems.com -- seems to have an unusual liquidity situation. I can send you zaps of 21 sats but but 1000 sats. Are you running your own node? Do you have enough inbound? Feel free to switch to a Rizful address of course ;)

If you're technically oriented, and feel safe that your nostr private key also unlocks your funds, then yes, coinos is a good option. Our experience is that the ability to recover your account by email -- combined with a 2FA device -- is the right choice for many users. Without that recovery option.. if you paste your nsec into the wrong app or lose it, then you lose your funds. Again, for technical users this might be an appropriate risk.

Yes, for technical users who are likely to set up "login/password and a 6-digit pin for payments" -- all good. But for normies, they won't set it up, they will only use their nsec, and many will lose funds because of this.

Yes, similar to Rizful Node. The difference is -- which service is likely to leave normies without a way to access their funds? The service which doesn't require a "recover account" option, by email, like 99% of normies expect...
