I see.. I will look into the zap thing- I never used a lightning wallet before or any bitcoin (zap is related to bitcoin?) stuff. It seems like there's a big learning curve to these terminologies/lingo for people that never delved in this type of thing before. Even though it might be simple, there is some ambiguity to it from my perspective and uncertainties as to what choices I should make. Like for instance- there are various lightning wallets, but I have no idea what is the difference between them. I guess I need to research more about it. Anyways, thanks!

Yes, you're right. There is a learning curve to this.

Start slow and ask questions when needed.

'Zaps' is a term we call Bitcoin transactions that occur in a specific method over something called the Lightning Network. These are smaller pieces of Bitcoins we call Satoshis - or Sats for short - named after the creator of Bitcoin. Most Clients/Apps that use Nostr have the capability to send Sats to each other and we call them Zaps because it's an analogy to being struck by Lightning haha!

To begin using this asap, download a Lightning Wallet - we all use one called "Wallet of Satoshi". It's quite user friendly. Then link it to your Nostr account.

Here is a good resource for more info...
