General Bitcoin Wallet Tips

ideally you should strive to get a hardware wallet device (better known as: a bitcoin signer device) to learn to secure your bitcoin cold (offline):

- seedsigner.com

- coldcard.com

- a jade shop.blockstream.com

in the meantime, withdraw your bitcoin at least with a selfcustodial hot (online) wallet on your phone or on desktop:

- sparrowwallet.com / onchain desktop

- bluewallet.io / onchain app + desktop

you can also withdraw your bitcoin with the lightning network or other layer 2's built on Bitcoin, either selfcustodial or not (again, depends on your own wishes), but here's a couple options:

- ln.tips with Telegram app (custodial, Lightning)

- blockstream.com/liquid (custodial, Liquid)

- phoenix.acinq.co (selfcustodial, Lightning; watch @btcsessions tutorials on phoenix wallet)

important: which wallet you want to use completely depends on what you want to do with your bitcoin and how secure you want it to be. Different options = different tradeoffs. Afaik there's no complete overview bc of the complexity and amount of different options (opensource movements be like that).

Do you have any tips on setting up a BTC e-commerce store?

A quick, easy and effective way is to use https://pay.zapit.live/ .

There is many other nostr apps but this one is the most stable in my experience. Unfortunately it lacks many features to set up a perfect shop. But I can hardly recommend other platforms like lnbits and plebian.market since I've had difficulty with them. The guys are doing great work but it is hard work and not on point yet.

Amethyst recently added a feature which can allow you to add a product to the nostr marketplace in less than a minute. But it is more like a Craigslist experience.

The best move is to set up a website using woocommers and BTCpay. Requires a lot more effort and technical knowledge. Our friends at Agora256.com are helping with the server.

I had no idea Telegram had that functionality!
