Well hello, Nostr,
I’m PGA golf professional and a Bitcoin enthusiast. I am totally new to the Nostr community! Looking forward to discussing a combo of golf, bitcoin, and technology. #golf #bitcoin #nostr #introductions

Hi mitch, and welcome to #nostr! 🤓
I tried to ⚡️zap you some welcome sats (bitcoin), but you haven't set up a #lightning wallet for your profile yet 🥺 Doing so allows anyone to zap you some sats when they value your contribution, want to say "hi", or any other reason! The easiest option for beginners is to use the in-built wallet in the @YakiHonne app (link below). If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, a dedicated lightning wallet is also a good idea! Some nice options include the @Minibits, @Deleted Account and @Wallet of Satoshi apps. Once you've got it sorted, be sure to post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll try to zap you again! If you need help, just ask 😊
I can also help people check their #nostr address is working (if they have one). Nostr addresses are not mandatory, but some people like using them to add a personal touch to their profile. Once you've set it up, just post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll check it again for you. If you like, I can give you one for free at "yourname@minestr.app". Just get in touch! 😊

Welcome Mitch! I’m a terrible golfer but I love it. #golfstr

Welcome Mitch. I’m new here too. So far it’s been a great experience. Enjoy!
Oh okay. @UNCLE ROCKSTAR please confirm.
Welcome Mitch!
I’m a bad amateur who loves golf, loves bitcoin and been on Nostr for about a year.
Happy to help if you have any questions
I don’t like golf but I’ll still zap you once you setup your wallet!
in Portuguese too
Welcome! Stay humble and stack zaps ⚡️
Thanks for the heads up
yes more golfers!!!
Here you go 🤣🤣🤣
Does #strike connect to Damus?
test comment. anyone see this?
we support strike as a wallet when zapping if you enable wallet selector in settings. You can also enable note zaps with https://zap.army (not officially supported since apple banned note zaps from our app)
Welcome aboard! I love golf also
LFG
#golfstr
Dont forget to set up yer Zaps!
#asknostr

Hello @hi and a very warm welcome goes out to you. Welcome to Nostr, the home of decentralized and censorship resistant communication.
Welcome!
Fore!!!
Welcome to nostr! Glad you’re here.
Five!
Welcome to Nostr! Check out my memes if you want 😁
Welcome!
Few things you should know:
1. get a check mark in #Nostr, there are few options, I suggest nostrcheck.me, once you get it, edit your profile and update your Nostr-Address, not having it will hide you in some clients
2. follow hashtags, a good way to find like minded people
3. think of your nsec as your Bitcoin private keys, act accordingly
4. chose a client that respect your privacy, meaning, you can sign in with a Signer protecting your nsec, it has TOR built in and above all, you can manage the relays you use. I suggest @Amethyst t
5. add your lighting address in the profile so you can get zap, few options out there, I suggest @Deleted Account for most people
have fun!
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 @Deleted Account, 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)
