Hello all, just discovered Nostr. I'm a long time Bitcoiner, running my own node and all the good stuff, but just starting to get into Nostr, Lightning and more. Just wanted to say hi.
Discussion
Welcome!
Welcome friend.
If you repost with tag #introductions you'll get a wider spread.
Also #asknostr if you have any questions.
Good luck and welcome to the party.
Thanks so much I really appreciate that!
I actually saw your profile because I'm just across the water from Yarmouth and saw your boat video 👍
That was shot a few weeks ago. I’m playing with a NOSTR media server nostr.build
We have a place in Ventnor and my friend came over from Sandbanks for lunch. He wasn’t certain he had enough range to reach Ventnor 😂
That's pretty good going on a rib! 🤣
Beautiful part of the world in summer.
Welcome 🤙
Lovely to meet you here
Thank you! Wow you've got some great posts 👍
Next thing I have to figure out a wallet and how to do zaps!
Thanks I’m trying! I’m using Primal and there’s a wallet built right in which makes me nervous about Damus. I’m hoping I can use the same wallet or do I need to use a different one because I do like to use them both.
Primal for mobile only uses the built-in wallet but you can keep the same Lightning address you use on Damus, and for the web version you can use the Alby extension as your wallet.
OK, that makes sense. Do I need to put the Primal address into Damus?
If you set your address to Primal, it will be the same on all clients.
I’m hoping Primal for mobile eventually allows NWC so you can bring your own wallet.
Me too, still trying to figure it all out. I'm on the web, just setup Mutiny wallet and the Alby extension with Nostr Wallet Connect and that's all working nicely, but now I need to figure out how to set a lightning address in my profile. All very exciting though.
Isn’t Mutiny shutting down?
Oh damn is it!? Just seen, thanks for the heads up!
I guess now I have to figure out somewhere to move my funds and then reconnect it all. What lightning wallet do you use? The built in Primal wallet?
Yes and from what I hear it’s an overall good lightning experience for all lightning needs
Did you get all set up?
Yes thank you, I ended up with a Lightning node on Voltage and also BTC Pay Server, mostly just to play around. But that's also given me a lightning address to receive sats. I also made a nostrplebs.com address to use for Nostr. And then I've got the getalby extension to make payments from my lightning node using LND connect.
Not going so smoothly on mobile though because I don't know how to link my own lightning node/wallet to send zaps on Amethyst Nostr client. So I'm just using Phoenix wallet where I still have some sats to send zaps. So I've ended up with two wallets, one for desktop to use from my own Lightning node, and then a completely separate wallet to send zaps from mobile. Still I can also receive zaps to my node so that's good.
How are you getting on?
That’s complicated, but I’m with you. I am working on memes right now to upload to Nostr build put the links somewhere easy to grab them from. That’s just today’s goal
Howdy! Just wanted to tell you that your name is one of my all-time favorite cartoons.
Thanks and me too, such a classic 😎
Followed, Welcome! You’re gonna love it.💜
