Day 1 testing with external wallets in SN 🧪
My setup: I connected with LN address with Blink for receiving and Nostr Wallet Connect for sending, here is my experience so far:

Receiving
Generally no problem, but
  1. It seems there were a few invoices that failed and said, "You didn't have enough sats." I assumed that was something happened with the wrapped invoice?
  2. Fee wise: 0
  3. There were some lagging with the withdrawals.

Sending
Here are a few problems:
  1. It's a bit slow, which indeed creates friction for zapping.
  1. Failed payment happened, maybe this would led to less zaps. 🥲
  2. Fee wise: 0
One interesting thing I noticed is that it will use the internal sats to zap first if there are enough sats, so it would be the same using cowboy credit first?

I have connected Blink Wallet for receiving, too. It works very well!
But I cannot connect a wallet for sending because I cannot afford any of the options listed there.
@k00b @ek is it possible to connect to a LN address even for sending? It will be helpful for non-tech guys like me.
Why cannot be the same LN address for both receiving and sanding?
Probably these are naive questions for the tech-stackers here, but...

LN address can't be used for sending, it's technically just a way to request an invoice but it doesn't include a way to pay invoices.

OK. I understand.
But which is the easiest way for sending?

I assumed it works both ways if SN have the option to link Blink's API? 👀

Yes, if their API allows it we can add it.

did you try with Nostr Wallet Connect? it's really simple to set it up, all you need is an Alby account.

I do not have access to Albi yet. I have sent them several times a request to create an account, but had no response from them.

Possibly hack: Install the extension. Open it and click on the "sign up" button or whatever other thing is there that'll take you to the waiting list page. Then delete the extension. Alby will (at least as of a couple of months ago) ask you to fill out a form saying why you deleted the extension. I told them it was because I couldn't get an account, and less than 24 hours later, I got an email with an invite.
Might not work now, but it's worth a shot.
