Dear all,I have heard that nostr is the new Twitter. So here I am!

Can anyone recommend nostr client and LN wallet? I tried getalby.com, but I am not sure about it. Since it is empty, I can't try it much. What's the best way to convert my bitcoin into LN? I do have Ledger hardware wallet. Thx :-)

If your using it just for zaps in Nostr Wallet of Satoshi works best for mobile. As for client depend what OS you are using for iOS use Damus.

Thx!

WelcomeπŸ«‚

You can connect Alby to Zeus for easy use on your phone!

welcome Lisa!

on client iOS #damus is king and #plebstr is not bad, Android #amethyst is popular, web #iris.to has good long form reading, #snort.social is earliest nostr clients.

Alby is a cool LN wallet for web, for mobile #WalletofSatoshi is second to none, which takes zero fee for LN transaction and 0.5% for on chain tx, you can on chain tx to a lower fee LN wallet #Muun then LN-LN to WoS.

I have Android phone so I have just installed WalletofSatoshi. Im gonna start iris.to. Thx!

Welcome! We aren't the new Twitter. We're much, much better than Twitter could ever be.

The majority of your bitcoin should stay cold on your Ledger, IMO. Only keep a portion on Alby for using with Zaps and spending. You can then use your Android phone with the Zeus app to connect to your Alby wallet and do it all from mobile!

Hi, thanks. I installed Bluewallet on my Android Phone to connect to Alby wallet. Works well. I see nostr is wey more coplex than expected.

Fantastic! We have lots of options in this space. That's just a tiny piece of what makes Nostr and Bitcoin special. I'm glad you got it all setup! πŸ€™πŸ»πŸ«‚

Just not sure about which relays should I follow. I guess it's not: the more, the better.

No, you need a couple of paid ones and a few free ones. Too many relays download the same data again and again.

Ok, I am ready to do the research

welcome!

Welcome to nostr Lisa! πŸ€™

Thx. This is way more complex stuff than Twitter.

I can teach u all things cause I’m a false profits

LOL. Profits or prophet?

A prophet that will lead you to false profits

Wallet of Satoshi like the others mentioned is a good one.

Great to get ur first zaps!

I will try all the wallets mentioned here.

Gave u a lucky 666 welcome zapppp

Oh, you're the devil 😈! THX

This is me

Nice...

That’s on a good day

I can't imagine the bad one.

Me on a bad day

Thanks for da zap

Welcome ! You can try Zeus + Alby on iOS.

If you are on android, you can use Amethyst, which can directly connect to your Alby wallet.

Hi, I'm using amethyst on android and it's pretty good. For sending I just use my regular lighting wallet SBW. Have tried setting up receiving but it'd probably have to be a non phone wallet that's always on I guess...

I add Amethyst on my todo list. Thx

Cool, you may need to use fdroid to install rather than playstore. At least here in the UK nothing relevant shows up searching for either amythyst or nostr in the play store.

Also needed to add this repository. Todo list must be getting pretty long! πŸ˜‚

Welcome!

⚑️ed & followed.

Nice. Thanks.

Pick someone you know and respect, go to their profile and see what relays they use. If you want, take a look at my relay list. I’ve been happy with it. I recommend using the NOSTR.wine paid relay. They also offer a filter that will be a paid service soon.

A lot of people use #[2]​ here for zapping as well. As Derek said, keep most of your coin in cold storage. Id recommend moving 15k sats or so to a wallet for zapping. If all goes well; you won’t need to refill. Once you start zapping, people will zap you back. You’ll get a zapped for being new as a welcome to NOSTR as well. πŸ€™πŸ»πŸ’œπŸ§‘βš‘οΈ

Great, I will start with your relay list. Thanks!

Sure, one thing to remember, their is no delete. Whatever you write and/or share is written to the NOSTRVerse forever. It’s a great place to be, friendly place with lots of people willing to share their knowledge

Have fun learning πŸ€™πŸ»πŸ’œπŸ§‘βš‘οΈ

Welcome πŸ’œ

Just zapped you. Easy peasy....

Welcome

Welcome! Looks like you can keep that sweet 🌽 in your cold wallet for now. ⚑️⚑️

Welcome to nostr freedom seeker βš‘πŸ«‚

Just followed πŸ’œ πŸ’― ⚑

Welcome to our humble abode πŸ«‚

Try Wallet of Satoshi or Bitcoin Beach Wallet, they have lightning address which you can add to receive tips.

As for IOS: Damus, Android: Amethyst, Web: Nostrgram.co or iris.to .

I installed Wallet of Satoahi and switched LN address in my profile. Hope it will work that way.

It work smoothly. THX.

Yes that should be enough. πŸ₯•πŸ°

GetAlby works seamlessly with #[2]​

Download Zeus and add the Alby wallet as a new node with the QR code. Then it will work as a mobile and browser wallet.

If you want to move sats between on-chain and Lightning, you can do that fairly easily with either Cash App or Wallet of Satoshi.

This is the way. Just linked my alby to Zeus today. It was a breeze with my desktop and phone handy. Really like it.

I concur. Getalby has been working without fail for me so far.

I just zapped you 400 sat. Will anyone zap more?

Thanks. No need. I was already zapped enough.

#[3]​ is very easy to set up ⚑️

Hi. So get alby is great really, people use it a lot.

A bit old article but really good - https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/getting-started-ln

I use iris for pc, it works fine don't tried others for pc.

To convert there are a few non-kyc exchangs that do that https://www.athena-alpha.com/exchanges/ . Didn't tried other metods

Faucet for a few sats to start zapping and stuff

https://boltcoiner.io

Already did. Thank you.

Try @plebstr mobile app. https://plebstr.com/ It is an application developed by Czech developers. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡Ώ

It was my first choice. Design of the app is great.

you should set up LN address in your profile. I can't ZAP you for the advice.

I thought I had it set up but I had it wrong. Is it working now?

Not really. I can see LN invoice in your profile. Not LNaddress. What LN wallet do you use?

It already works, for some reason the change made in the #plebstr app didn't show up and I had to make it in the web app.

I had the same problem yesterday. Anyone should report the bug. But you have solved it anyway. Great!

UΕΎΓ­vej Nostr!

I have just ZAPed you. Congratulations! πŸ˜€

Thank you 😊

Není zač.

Just use muun wallet. you could send in Bitcoin and send out LN…
