Welcome to #Nostr !
Suggestion to find whom to follow:
Follow topics using hastags, you can follow hashtags...
Suggestion for Nostr Clients:
Exclusive for Android:
@Amethyst is an excellent choice, feature rich, supports privacy, tiktok like feeds, multi user, supports #Amber (more security), #TOR, private chats, excellent look and feel, it is ahead of most clients by far.
Working for Android and iOS:
@0xchat is a good alternative, more like Telegram, including chat groups, channels and voice and video calls, all encrypted e2e. It is powerful with privacy as well, it has secret chats and it supports Amber, #TOR in the settings "Use SOCKS proxy" (just install Orbot and in the settings be sure it allows background starts you don't need to have it running as VPN). It has a wallet built in and interesting features of its own.
Exclusive for iOS:
@Damus (users talk positive about this client, give it a try)
Suggestion for Wallets:
Depends on your technical level and how much time are you willing to spend understanding and setting them up:
1. The impatient with no time to waste and who doesn't care to use custodial wallets (your money...):
Go for Wallet of Satoshi (
https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/), add it to your profile, it doesn't have the NWC (network wallet connect) setup, but you really don't need it. When you try to zap someone, the wallet will open and the invoice will load, easy and setup free. You are set. (they don't work in USA, unless you use a VPN)
2. For the impatient with no time but looking to have a non custodial option plug and play.
The most complete web based non custodial wallet is definitely
@OVO,
https://coinos.io, rich with features, you can receive emails every time you are zapped too. Very cool wallet, the dev team rocks, they are doing the good work creating more Bitcoin awareness and helping businesses to accept it.
There is more... Coinos does support ecash, Bitcoin L1 (legacy, segwit and taproot), LNURL, #Bolt11, #Bolt12, LIQUID, and the cherry on top... now it supports signing in with a NIP-55 Signer like #Amber, Nostr Connect or Browser extension, you get as well a cool customize LNURL, like your username@coinos.io to receive your zaps from or SATs from wallets that support BOLT11 & BOLT12. What is not to love!
3. The curious one with not much technical expertise but eager to learn:
@Minibits (mobile app, you can buy from them your own address like yourname@minibits.cash BOLT11), the app is well polished, user friendly and the devs are hands on, responsive and active in the #Nostr community.
4. The tech savvy
4.1 GetAlby running AlbyHub (a bit pricey unless you do all yourself, not my cup of tea, but people in the community loves them)
4.2 npub.cash - get your npub followed by @npub.cash and use it as your wallet address to receive anonymous private #LN payments and #cashu payments. You can pay in the wallet web site for a custom address as well (cool)
