Brand new nostr:npub1xr7t5h0l25ej73pm04zgz9afeexyzsjx67s5v0xxf2sshjn4sx6sep2gqh TikTok refugee here, and I'm ridiculously lost right now! 😅 Any direction to a good source for orientation would be appreciated.
Discussion
First thing to know about nostr is the npub is like your username. You can share it with other people so they can find you here. Your nsec is like your password. Never give that to anyone and keep it secure and backed up. There's no recovery option.
Good info. Thank you!
Welcome to Nostr and the decentralized social future of communication 🫂💜🤙🏻
nostr:npub1ummxyyflg2a397up580f2jfy3ghfh66ljkxurkrthyt627ee9u4qvf84zs look at nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424' page for a lot of good topics on Nostr.
Thanks a lot, Derek! Happy to be here
Welcome

😂😂 Never heard of that before tonight, and I've seen it twice already. It seems like a solid method of verification though.
Welcome. https://njump.me is a good starting point
Thanks! I'll take a look
Welcome 2 #Nostr
Welcome to #nostr.
You can follow hash tags to discover people and content. #plebchain and #grownostr are two of the biggest.
You can also explore Nostr through a number of different clients and "other stuff" apps: Nostrapps.com
If you do I recommend using a signing app like Amber on Android or Nostr Connect to sign in. The interoperability of the ecosystem of apps is one of the coolest parts of Nostr.
If you have any questions you can use the hash tag #asknostr
✌️
Great! Thank you!
Welcome Craig! 🫂

Welcome Craig! This is the warmest place to be on the internet. If you’re using primal I suggest looking in the explore section for topics that interest you as a starting place to play around on here. Also feel free to to DM with any questions you got and I’ll do my best to help
Thanks a lot for your kind welcome and offer
What client are you using?
1. You have a name, but you haven't got a "nostr address" yet.
An address is a verifiable identity. For example, it could be "elon@tesla.com". Nostr clients will go to tesla.com and search for a proof that "Elon" is registered on it and compare the npub against yours. If that passes, we can be pretty damn sure that someone who has access to tesla.com attests that your account is the real "Elon".
If your address was "craig@nostr-check.com", well nostr-check.com is one of many nostr identity sites, so it is a first come first serve type deal, like usernames on any other platform.
You can then say "hey, I am craig777@nostr-check.com on nostr" and people can find you by that.
Disclaimer: Since you don't own nostr-check.com, the owner of the domain could remove you, like how Elon took the @music username from someone on X when he took it over. If you have a website, I can help you register your own name on your own website. Then you don't have this risk.
2. You don't have a lightning address set up. This is how people can tip you bitcoin for your posts. I recommend using the minibits wallet. You can get a lightning address from there, it is quick to setup and you can start collecting internet points and even zap others back.
Use your client, edit your profile and set up those two things.
Wow! Thats a lot to absorb at once. 😅 So, I did sign up on the nostr website and received codes. After that I signed up on the Primal client and got more codes. I'm just never sure what to do with them, so I've held off so far
Sorry, I'm one of those technical ones, so I might be giving TMI. With more people joining I will learn how best to greet people and we in general will get better at explaining this stuff to each other.
What nostr website? Was it https://nostr.com/ ?
If you use primal, go to edit your profile, it is the last two fields I was talking about.
Start with the last one, get yourself a NIP-05 aka Nostr address.
I just realised that the one I used requires talking directly to the operator nostr:nprofile1qqsdm7asdfezu5vn8nfhunkdkv93se8jvtumkk7kctv4e0h0cu50p9sprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezu6rpdej8j6n4de4hjtnrdakszenhwden5te0ve5kcar9wghxummnw3ezuamfdejj7mnsw43rzcmvdvm8vcee0p5x5upcwy6kxamnxgmryam4vcex26p50f6hvam4wpn8gvpndpungar5w9ckumfhv5cx5un3xd6hqats8ylkyun0v9jxxctnws7hgun4v5q3kamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarjvaexzurg9ehx2ap0nl6gw6, if you don't want that, I can see that you can buy one at https://my.nostr.com/ too.
Me too bro, me too, but so far loving it
