I can't use Alby on mobile
indeed tricky this way, and I don't use SN on mobile ( hmm, maybe lurking sometimes ) 😂
I use it now on desktop for nostr and I will probably start with it for SN on desktop, but I would like another solution eventually.
You can also use https://github.com/fiatjaf/nos2x for Nostr, Alby for SN; Or to keep things simple, both with Alby.
Also, Blink is banned in the US. I'm also trying to avoid any wallets that require you to create an account.
VPN would do! #259866 and I used https://sms4sats.com/ to create the account, then removed the number after you linked the mail.

Very good workarounds! I use nos2x on desktop too. Thanks.

I assumed would have easy ways for the mobile one day, or maybe use the cowboy credits? ✌🏽

We'll see about those cowboy credits! You raise another good point. For convenience it's important to be able to use one wallet. I really hope we get a reliable NWC connected wallet, and that SN includes NWC sending and receiving soon. One wallet is so important. SN zapping will suffer if people have to keep loading a send only wallet with sats.

yes, it happened to me before and it's quite annoying to need to load up the sending wallet 👀 then it led me to discover this trick!

If I can figure out WebLN on Blixt that could be a good setup for me.

Easy steps ⚡️
  • switch to a non-US VPN
  • use sms4sats to create an account in Blink, ideally matching the VPN location; Link a mail, then remove the registered number
  • pair the Blink API in Alby
  • enable WebLN in SN, done!
Let me know if a more detailed guide is much needed:) 👀

This is great. I might do it. However, part of what I am looking for is something that is simple for the typical SN user. What you, or even me, think of as "really easy" won't be for the average user. If SN doesn't find a simple, fast, pretty much mindless way to have a non custodial wallet solution that works, the site will suffer. It could be catastrophic.

indeed, and that's for @k00b and @ek to work on 🎩
