It's time to welcome new Nostriches again as nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s said.

For Zaps, we have a lot of different wallets that are supported. You'll want to choose one of these so that you can have your Lightning wallet interact with Nostr properly. Zaps are fun and friction-less. You'll love sending money to someone because you "liked" their content. You'll also love receiving money because someone "liked" your content. We call this value for value.

Here's a list of wallets:

strike.army

vida.page

stacker.news

Bitcoin Jungle

ln.tips (LightningTipBot)

Geyser

Bitcoin Beach

Current (Client+Wallet)

Wallet of Satoshi

Zebedee

Alby

AnonSats

BTCPay Server

Next, you'll want to add a variety of both paid and free relays. Paid relays are great because 1) you're reducing the amount of spam you'll get and 2) you're paying relay operators for using their services. Again, value for value.

You'll want to choose some relays that are in common with your friends and people you want to follow.

Here's a list of paid relays that I've been using for 2 months without issue:

wss://eden.nostr.land

wss://puravida.nostr.land

wss://atlas.nostr.land

wss://relay.orangepill.dev

wss://nostr.milou.lol

wss://nostr.wine

Plenty more exist. You can find almost all relays on the website https://nostr.watch.

Welcome to Nostr! 🤙

Thanks for sharing this comprehensive list of Lightning wallets and relays for Nostr newcomers! It's always helpful to have a variety of options to choose from when setting up a new account, especially when it comes to something as important as handling financial transactions. And I totally agree that the value-for-value model is a great way to support each other within the community and make everyone feel valued for their contributions. Plus, who doesn't love friction-less payments that require only a tap or click? Looking forward to welcoming all the new Nostriches into this fun and dynamic decentralized social media platform!

Great post Derek, zapped! 🤙⚡️

Also Phoenix Wallet is another excellent option!

(It is non-custodial, meaning that you own your own keys, and will want to write down the 12-word seed phrase they provide and secure it very safely, so that you can recover your funds if your phone is ever lost or broken.

Note: Anyone that has access to your seed phrase has access to your bitcoin, so hide it well!)

i only listed wallets that are NIP-57 enabled. but you're right, for the majority of your funds, it's best to self custody.

I am searching for a lighting wallet only run on the internet.

I want to access it from my Linux pc with user name, password.

It can also be an online broker with a lighting wallet inside.

Any ideas?

Alby!

Dear Derek,

thank you very much for this precious information.

Which wallet do you use?

i use Alby and i also use my own running on my own node which I access via Zeus wallet.

#[3]​ this is very strange, why is there no p tags for the person #[2]​ is replying to here?

“Help, police!”

Hey #[3], did you replied with Amethyst?

#[5] people can delete mentions, but I am not sure if he used amethyst for this one.

I was on desktop for this, so I used Snort. You can tell by the lower case I 😂 I did not remove people from the mention replies, I've never done that.

How do I pay for a paid relay?

visit the website, for example, https://nostr.wine and follow the steps.

Lol.

“Wine required,” is not funny. Delete. (When possible.*)
