I can't get to set up nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv to use my own Nostr address... It says profile not found. It gets a 404.

And I'm not sure if it's connecting to the relays I added. It always says connected: 0.

No idea how to fix this.

Hey, this look like relay connection issue. Try to reconnect the relays in Settings or reset to defaults and add the one you are sure your profile lived in.

Then to test the connection before replacing the wallet profile, you can try to put your nostr pubkey to Public contacts. If it loads your follows, ok if not, you can quickly add another relay and retry.

You'll then find option to replace minibits wallet profile by your own in Privacy - as it is the most private option to receive ecash if you host your profile.

However you can consider option to keep your minibits profile and add minibits.cash wallet address to the lightning address field of your nostr profile in the nostr client you use. That way you can receive both ecash and zaps / sats to it as it works as a lightning address at the same time.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

FYI when I installed the app, there weren't any default relays. I set up a couple, but it didn't work.

Then, I did as you recommended with the npub. And it added 4 relays that connected. It seems to be working now.

Maybe that should be part of the onboarding process?

Anyway, now I'm set up. And I even bought my vanity address 😎

Happy to hear that you're set up now. Default relays are added when first request to #nostr is made - only after creating of random wallet address.

You're right, defaults could be set earlier, so that people that jump to Settings immediately don't see empty list. Will fix.

Thank you for the report!

I sent money to Minibits. And I zapped you with it.

Question: Is that ecash or bitcoin lightning? I'm not sure...

Zap is a lightning payement in essence - #nostr client requests invoice and delegates to wallet to pay it.

If the receiver has minibits.cash address set for zaps in their nostr profile, payment goes to the lightning node that minibits mint is connected to. There is a bridge that monitors invoices and if paid, passes the fresh ecash issued by the mint over nostr relays to minibits wallet of the zap receiver.

This works thanks to the fact that minibit.cash wallet addresses areat the same time nostr identities and lightning addresses.
