Last Notes npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko This exploits a vulnerability in one of our dependencies. Updating the dependency to the latest version fixes the issue. This issue has been fixed and is now live. Let me know if you run into any issues npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Hey @nprofile…dr8s , here’s a little info regarding the issue you’re having with Primal : The URLs for the images you are using are being re-used and switching the images from their original state. On Primal, we cache the original image and display that, so changing the content of the file will not display properly in Primal. We would recommend creating new URLs for every image you want to display, rather than switching existing ones. This should fix the issue. npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko What business is this of yours? npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Our spam filters are algorithms, so it’s possible users who we identify as spam will be filtered. If this happens, feel free to reach out and we can manually un-filter them. npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko This is not a feature we have implemented yet, but we’re working on it! npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Hey Primal mobile users! We just released an update to both our Android and iOS apps. Our team has been focusing on performance, stability and polish, so these builds should feel smoother than ever. iOS Version 3.5.60 Android Version 3.5.25 Try out these new builds and let us know how they feel! https://primal.net/downloads?20260730 npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko What was your name before? Just to let you know, there’s a name change option if you access Premium from the sidebar -> Manage Premium -> Change Primal Name. npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Thanks. Looking into it! If you could, providing a screen recording of you zapping/liking a post and not seeing it. Would be extremely helpful! npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Which device are you using? Did you receive my zap? Can you try zapping me to see if it works? Do you get any type of error message when zapping? Please let me know. npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Did you receive my zap? Can you try zapping me to see if it works? Which device are you using (Android, Web, iOS)? Please let me know. npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Not a bad idea. In the meantime, GitHub Issues is probably best way to report bugs. Also feel free to reach out to me directly! npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Yes, it was an issue with our caching service. Your notes were posting successfully to the relays, but our caching service had a delay of about 10min before Primal would display them. Should be fixed now. Thanks for the report! npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Hey @nprofile…xyw8 , we believe we have fixed the problem. Can you please verify? npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko We seem to have found the issue and are working on a fix. Please stay tuned for upcoming updates. npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Hey @nprofile…q566 exactly which device are you using and are you on the latest build? npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Can you please provide an example of this scroll bug? A description or a video would help. npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Hey Primal iOS users! We have a big update for you guys! 🔥 Brand new app shell just dropped in this 3.5 release. It's a big change, so it might take a bit of getting used to. Once you do, the app should feel smoother and easier to use. We will be fine tuning the UX for our upcoming 4.0 release, so nothing is fully set in stone and all feedback is welcome. Please upgrade and let us know your thoughts. https://blossom.primal.net/5a75d7a3930807af444c50448b11e021c76daa6ea81a1662c747180df6a77269.mp4 npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko I’m not able to reproduce this problem. Could you share a screen recording? Would really help us find this issue and fix it. npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko This is a rendering decision, not a bug. We render any and all note mentions & link previews in order at the bottom of every note, not inline with text. npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko How exactly is it broken for you? npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Can you please explain how it’s broken for you? npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Our caching service does not yet support kind 1111, so these notifications exist but you just can’t seem them on Primal yet. We’re working on making them available soon, so stay tuned. npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko No, unfortunately we have no control of the funds after they leave our custodial wallet. npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko My pleasure. Thank you for your contribution to Nostr! npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Okay great. We just initiated the full balance transfer. Please confirm if that worked. And a quick reminder: please don't forget to backup your 12-word wallet recovery phrase. npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Hey I just looked into your account and I see that you still have a balance in the old Primal custodial wallet. That wallet has been discontinued, but we can definitely move your balance to the new self-custodial wallet. I just sent a test transaction of 21 sats to your new wallet. Can you please confirm you received it? If that looks good, we will initiate the transfer of your full balance. npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko I just managed to connect via Primal. How exactly is it not working for you? npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko It’s not required, just an option. If you feel like using a browser extension (recommended if not using the remote signer), or just plugging in your nsec directly into the web app (not recommended, unsafe) you still have those options in “advanced login” npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Looking into it npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Glad to have you, Eugene ;) npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Looking into this.

(iOS, Android, Web) npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Can you provide an example? Also, which app do you use? (iOS, Android, Web) npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Can you please confirm if you are on iOS or Android and which exact build you are on (you can see it at the bottom of the settings screen). The screenshot you posted is asking you to activate your custodial wallet (which should should not happen in a new release). If you are on a 3.0.x release curious to know how you ended up on this screen. In any case, we'll help you sort this out. npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko That defeats the whole purpose of polls npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Fixing Primal bugs https://blossom.primal.net/1f26198fafc411e2a299b67639a92b6f34755a0f5535ddeb3e1f4f587f4427f6.gif npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Describe your job, current employment status, or what you do on a day2day basis with a GIF or Meme ⬇️ npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko This will be fixed in our next release. Stay tuned! npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko You can filter the types of notifications you want to see in the notification settings. We can only do so much for filtering out certain users npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Thanks for the report. We’d love to improve this.

The problem is that we are sending an incorrect invoice based on your balance. Sending a few small zaps will change your balance and potentially fix this issue. Please lmk if this is not the case npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Thanks for the video! We’ll look into this npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko This doesn’t seem to be an issue on our end seeing as we’re correctly rendering replies made from other clients (Amethyst, Damus, Yakihonne) as replies. npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Are you using the upgraded wallet?

We can’t seem to reproduce this, so any additional steps would be appreciated npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Hey Ray, we'll try to get this resolved for you as soon as possible. Quick questions: 1. Are you running Primal iOS or Android? 2. Which exact build are you running (you can see it at the bottom of the settings screen). 3. Does this error appear immediately, or after a few seconds of trying to make the payment? 4. Are you able to make lightning payments to other destinations (zaps, lightning invoices, etc.)? npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc Marko Hey Joe, we'll try to get this resolved for you as soon as possible.
