New here, first post! #introductions

Gonna take my time to figure out which profiles & feeds I want to follow and zap around a bit. For now I wanna share two ego-checking lessons learned from joining Primal & Nostr, that I just wanna put out there in case it helps anyone:

1) When you create an account, dont forget to store the private key somehow, before signing out of the app! I incorrectly assumed the key was stored on my phone and/or I'd be able to sign back in to the app via a passcode or something. Locked myself out of account #1 that way ๐Ÿ˜‚

2) When you create an account, dont forget to follow at least some profiles during the creation process! If you dont, you wont be able to (easily) follow accounts afterwards. This caused me to end up with account #2 from which I could not follow people.

Fortunately the Primal team was very helpful and explained what I was doing wrong along the way.

So here I am, on account #3, ready to read, zap & write ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ’ช

Welcome mate!

Welcome!

Ironically, I cannot zap you. Welcome to bleeding edge tech!

Interesting challenges! Welcome!

Yea its so different from all the other stuff out there. Which is so great for SO MANY reasonsโ€ฆ.but also presents these challenges ๐Ÿ˜‚ but you are not alone.

Well, welcome home ๐Ÿซ‚ glad to have you on Nostr!

๐Ÿ‘‹ Youโ€™re also welcome to #followme and my following list if you are interested in #Bitcoin, #Nostr, Bitcoin merch, and random jokes and fun in between. A few of the people I follow could care less about posting Bitcoin stuff so check those out too! Some people think the more people you follow when you first start on Nostr the better ๐Ÿ‘ because of a lack of algorithm.

Another thing some people believe is a good way to get started instead of mass following is to list down some of the things they are interested in, then maybe you can get some suggestions on hashtags or people to follow. Can find a lot of interesting stuff that way. Its also a great way to build out your โ€œWeb of Trustโ€ with people that are interested and building the same things as you. Maybe just only start following off of those peoplesโ€™ follow lists, and build out from there.

* Good clients for hashtag following are Amethyst and Damus.

This is a great source to get you started if you have questions about parts of the Nostr process. If you are not a fan, DONโ€™T GIVE UP. At least try a different Client first. What client/clients are you currently using? Some popular ones I see that people use a lot are Amethyst, Damus, Primal, and Nostur, Openvibe/Plebstr. Itโ€™s important to try and keep this alive and moving forward. Join us!

Once you do have a good handle on Nostr in general, this youtube vid will show you how to set up that lightning feature for payments if you are running Damus. The same thing applies to other lightning wallets as well if you donโ€™t have or want or have access to Wallet of Satoshi
