Excellent article! Well written. I’m a newbie so this clarified a lot for me. It’s really not difficult…
The client you are on may not support long-form notes. Read it on blogstack here: https://blogstack.io/naddr1qqyrqvtzvymkyv33qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsyg9hyaxj3clfswlhyrd5kjsj5v04clhjvgeq6pwztmysfzdvn93gevpsgqqqw4rs9wj6p5

Thanks so much! Keep an eye out. I have some other things I have previously written but never posted before that are specifically geared towards newcomers.
Question - trying to see if my lightning address is set up right. Could you zap me?
Does not appear to be working. Looks like you put in a LNURL. Do you have a lightning address (looks like an email address)?
This is great, I’m learning! I had never heard of a lightning address. I thought it was the invoice thing. How do I get one?
So I see a list of apps that will produce an address. Great. Are they universal? Does it matter which. Did I see you use alby?
Any wallet that supports LNURL can also usually pay to a lightning address. I use Alby, but have a couple others as well from other services I use, such as Fountain and Strike.
If you run your own node and own a domain, you can also set up your own.
