Finally attached wallets prior to November 5th

I have finally stepped into fully attached wallets to send and receive, hoping everything is working well next Tuesday.

I have attached WOS for receiving which was dead easy to do, even for me.

However, I was struggling to attach a sending wallet for different reasons. I was getting really frustrated until @supratic wrote this wonderful guide. You can set it up in just 5 minutes and forget about the issue.

I did a first try right after @supratic published the guide and worked well. Then, I left it unattached for a few weeks and just today decided to attach it again prior to the Tuesday deadline.

There is a small difference in the steps mentioned in the guideline. When you click on your Profile details, NWC does not longer appear under the Nostr pubkey as mentioned in the guideline.

However if you click on the Account settings button, this leads you to your NWC code.

Then you click there and you can copy it or just reveal QR code.

I hope this helps and most of you can use it .

Thank you very much for this, unfortunately @coinoswallet updated the Ui just after publishing the guide. I'll make time to rewrite it including your suggestions for the new flow. +1 to @realBitcoinDog's #734359

I'm so glad it has been helping stackers connect wallets! Cowboys credits coming really soon #731188

Thanks for letting me know about what @realBitcoinDog wrote. I had missed that post. Just this morning I was trying to attach the wallet following your guideline, that I had bookmarked it previously, and realized that the NWC was missing from the profile. After a few minutes, I found it and decided to write it down, just in case it helped someone else. Definitely all the credit to @realBitcoinDog, as he did it first.

Thanks for the mention! All I see is stackers helping each other 🫡

Most important to me is SAVE YOUR PASSWORD THERE IS NO RECOVERY METHOD!

And of course as soon as u attach to SN then BOOM all sats gone!

SAVE YOUR PASSWORD THERE IS NO RECOVERY METHOD!

Thanks, password manager will help with it.

as soon as u attach to SN then BOOM all sats gone!

But I understand that this will depend on the desired balance you set up. If you set up a higher threshold you can keep sats in SN.

Yes but all the guides set it to 0.

Just a suggestion. I noticed something when commenting does not go through, and need to retry post. maybe worth to keep a min balance to avoid micropayments no-path

Yes, I have noticed a small delay in commenting , though it ends up going through. Following your advice, I have left a small balance to see how it works for comments.

If using coinos to receive, why not also to send? Since it's already using NWC to receive in @supratic guide? Just curious about that detail. Good post and great guide for folks too. Cheers.

Great question. Coinos atm provides only one NWC key so it could be used both ways, to receive and send sats, but NOT the same key simultaneously. That's why in the guide I use the address@coinos to receive and the Coinos NWC to receive.

In my case I use a wallet to receive and a different wallet for sending. The latter is coinos and I set up a budget there.

Welcome to the real frontier cowboy.

All you need now are your hat, horse and gun.

Thanks! Just testing everything before next week. I will see how it goes. I have just tried zapping you without sats in SN and I think it worked!

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @supratic fwd 2 Nov

it did indeed! Thanks

There's a horse and a gun now. Bullish on SN.

i had the same issue, but also ended up going with WOS and coinos , worked like a charm :)

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Carresan OP 2 Nov

Yes it works great. The only thing about using two wallets is that I will need to keep an eye on the amount of sats in the coinos wallet.

I used that same guide too.

It was a headache, it reminded me that bitcoin has a way to go for mass adoption. Things need to become more intuitive.

What was the headhache? Can you point out your pinpoints?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Aardvark 2 Nov

Oh! I see you're the one who made the guide. I have no issues with your guide. It was actually incredibly easy AFTER I found that. So thanks.

When you go to attach, there's just a list of options, none of which I understand. It took me probably 30 minutes of searching just to find a guide I understood. Even now the NWC option only shows that it's attached for funding on my desktop, and not mobile. I have no idea why.

We hear you. We started with protocols like NWC to cover as many wallets at once as possible but we want to switch to showing wallets with logos etc.

I wrote a bit about that in this Github comment if you're interested (or any other reader of this comment).

Even now the NWC option only shows that it's attached for funding on my desktop, and not mobile. I have no idea why.

We're working on syncing the spending credentials across devices end-to-end encrypted. They are currently only stored on the device you setup since they are pretty sensitive (they would allow us to steal from you) unlike the credentials to receive. There's a disclaimer on the wallets about that:

Wallet Security Disclaimer

Your wallet's credentials for spending are stored in the browser and never go to the server. However, you should definitely set a budget in your wallet if you can.

Also, for the time being, you will have to reenter your credentials on other devices.

Definitely, some times too technical. I understand we have to learn to properly use it. But, step by step guides do help a lot in some cases.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @supratic fwd 2 Nov

I agree on the learning, but it should be optional, not mandatory by default! It's like the emails... how many people you think know about the protocol running it (SMTP/IMAP)? People just use it naturally today.

Let's see if we can do the same with bitcoin, LN, nostr and ecash

Thanks, this post made me make the move, I tried using Blink and for some reason the autowithdrawal failed, though this made me consider using coinos as my SN wallet.

Thanks for your words, though all credit should go to to @supratic and @realBitcoinDog
