Hi Kevin Cyber, 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, @Mysterious Hamster 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! 😊

It can work excellent. It sometimes has bugs, it's a new protocol so there is a lot of stuff happening here all the time, very exciting!

Thank you! I will check it out
Yes, I’m new here and I have to learn how to use it. Thanks for your availability 😊
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 @Mysterious Hamster for most people
have fun!
Welcome

Thanks for the comment. I’m still trying to understand how this works. I’m not seeing much on my homepage. I started by following hashtags.
lol Hi! I can’t, I’m here to protect my privacy and my anonymity
Thank you so much for this ♥️
Oh you can still use your nym avatar
I think so, not sure how to set it back but this is a picture generated with AI, I’m sure it’s fine too. (is it? 😬)
welcome!
Thank you! It’s so nice here, it really feels like a community 🫂
it's fun and awesome -- help keep it weird
Thanks for this information, I made it to set up my wallet and I did it in the Primal client for iOS. The only issue is that it asked for some personal details and I was not expecting that to happen as this should be a decentralized network. Privacy?
that's because Primal uses a wallet service provider that requires this information. you don't have to use Primal nor do you have to use Primal and their wallet. you can use a wallet that doesn't require any KYC such as https://coinos.io. Nostr is all about choices.
Thank you! I activated the wallet already but good to know 😊
Welcome!
Thank you! 😊
