First time on nostr - any tips on how to use it?
Discussion
Welcome! I encourage you to get Wallet of Satoshi, or some other lightning wallet attached to your Nostr account. We also have a huge amount if freedom, privacy, off grid homesteaders, anti government propaganda, and other things like, photography, art, cooking, a shit ton of hard core programmers here, lightning is the currency. We seek freedom with zero control. We are a very happy family here. Check out Nostr Nests when there is a live 🪺 nest. Like twitter spaces (full audio). Let me know if you need any help. Have fun! 💜🫂🫶

Thanks. I've just started programming myself so that's cool. Proper noob though - learning python and Java. How do I connect a Satoshi wallet?
Download “wallet of satoshi” then enter your lightning address, where Nostr needs it, in your settings.
I've downloaded wallet of satoshi - does the address go in the "LN" section on my profile?
I think so. So many different clients on Nostr. But most likely.
Awesome, I've done that - it's like 20 million characters long, is that right?
Yeah, copy paste
Wait, I've just seen yours is an email address.
Not sure if that is the actual address though
Ok cool. I just received 21 sats! Was that you? Thank you 👍
No, the 2500 was. But I recommend adjusting your tip amount to a low number like 1-50 until you get use to things.
Brother, you have much to learn about lightning and Bitcoin. But we are all here to help you figure bit out and we're so glad you're here 🫂
If you want a few minutes one day to go over lightning address basics and how you can get your own or self custody lightning , etc. You just lmk and I will schedule some time to help you.
Thanks OceanSlim. I'm glad I'm here! Eveyhad been really helpful already. 😊I've got lightning but may need some help with self custody.

Hey hey! Welcome to Nostr! Glad you made it. 💜🤙🏻🫂
The best tip for Nostr is that we don't have any algorithms to bring content forward. That means you need to do the work. That means you need to engage and interact with as many people as possible to make sure that you are seen and that you are heard. Nostr is jokingly a proof of work protocol in this regard.
You must say “gm” to nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 every day
Good afternoon!
Lol that's done. What will that do?
He is just messing with you. 😂
Hmm.. sending the zap failed 🥲 I’ll try again in a minute
I missed a day and my account was deleted and I had to start over.
Welcome to a whole new world! Take a look around and explore then endless possibilities! #plebchain
Welcome to the land of freedom 🫂
Try some different clients to find what fits the best for you 👌🏼
I've tried Spring and Plebstr. I like Plebstr. I mostly use android. Are there any other clients that you'd recommend trying?
Best way to find content is searching for hashtags
Some clients do search better than others
Plebstr is good at search

Connect a Lightning wallet to receive zaps.
Be sure to pay attention to your relays over time. Some stop working, just add some new ones when they dwindle.
