Ok but back to the original post, what’s the advantage of using raw keys over seed phrases?

2026-07-31 05:22:14 UTC

Yes but then you have to store each private key for every address.. ain’t nobody got time for that 😅

For example? I don’t know of a HD wallet that generates a private key without using seed phrases.

2026-07-31 05:11:32 UTC

As I understand it, the issue isn’t seed words, the problem is the entropy used to generate them

2026-07-31 05:04:28 UTC

I stand corrected.. keys are derived from seed phrases.
I always thought you could generate a seed phrase from any key.. but it’s a one way hash.

There's lots of options while still being self sovereign.. the naming layer being
hosted doesn't mean the sats are.
Zeus Pay gives you a lightning address that settles on your own node, and its zaplocker uses hold invoices so payments survive you being offline. Alby Hub does the same over NWC. Both self-custodial.
Or npub.cash — your address is just <npub>@npub.cash, payments land
as cashu tokens you claim whenever you open the app. No domain, no node, no uptime requirement.
Or even just primal Spark wallet.. sits between custodial and running your own channels - operator
set for liveness, unilateral exit on-chain. Fine tradeoff.
