I’m testing Nostr out before I creating my actual account. I want to do it the “right” or secure way.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on where or how to:
- generate key pairs locally
- best place to setup a lightning wallet
- setup relay to only backup media I only post
- best place for Nostr connect on iOS/MacOs

Hi Nanadaime Hokage, and welcome to #nostr! 🤓
I tried to ⚡️zap you some welcome sats (bitcoin), but you haven't set up a #lightning wallet for your profile yet 🥺 Doing so allows anyone to zap you some sats when they value your contribution, want to say "hi", or any other reason! The easiest option for beginners is to use the in-built wallet in the nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q app (link below). If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, a dedicated lightning wallet is also a good idea! Some nice options include the nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv, nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch and nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq apps. Once you've got it sorted, be sure to post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll try to zap you again! If you need help, just ask 😊

I can also help people check their #nostr address is working (if they have one). Nostr addresses are not mandatory, but some people like using them to add a personal touch to their profile. Once you've set it up, just post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll check it again for you. If you like, I can give you one for free at "yourname@minestr.app". Just get in touch! 😊

Is it working now?

hello and welcome to nostr. my recommendations
Amber for Android, use this to generate and manage your private key.
Coinos is a great custdodial solution that suppports NWC. If you want non-custodial, it's going to be a bit more complicated.
use a #Haven relay that comes with a Blossom server. you'll need a server/laptop/desktop/raspberry pi for this.
oh. you said iOS. well in that case, scrap the answers for #1 and #2. use Damus and Coinos or Primal with it's built in wallet.
> generate key pairs locally
Locally you can use nak or a desktop client like Gossip, but I would suggest you to try https://start.njump.me
> best place to setup a lightning wallet
Maybe Coinos or Minibits
> setup relay to only backup media I only post

> best place for Nostr connect on iOS/MacOs
I don't understand the question 😅
nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 for a client App and use https://nostrscript.suhailsaqan.com/ to get the zap button in app.
Nostrudel with Nostore browser extension for web clients using safari
nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 for lighting wallet
Lightning wallets change a lot so don’t feel tied to any one option. There is a lot to digest when you’re getting started. Happy to share my thoughts and experiences.
There's a lot to digest, and I really appreciate all the helpful input from everyone, including yourself. After posting for setup advice, I received various suggestions, many of which were outside the scope of what I had researched. While I’m grateful for all the support, the sheer number of options is a bit overwhelming for now.
For context, I primarily use iOS/MacOS and own a domain, which I understand might be useful for NIP-05. I also have a Synology NAS, though I’ve heard it might be underpowered for nostr. I wanted to share this to see if it offers more flexibility in getting started with nostr.
