Follow people. Comment on stuff. Just be a frequent user of the platform.
thanks! I find it way more meaningful to have convos here than on X

This
Zap bud
Ask questions, participate, post content and tag people when appropriate
Always say GM, GA, GE, GN as often as you can to folks
#zap more than you receive
Be your authentic self, we enjoy that
Enjoy your time here in the nostrverse💜

I setup a zap to address, that was easy, but I can't setup a zap from address cause primal wallet isn't aloud in Canada. any suggestions? I want to send zaps, to be clear
Sending zaps is similarily as easy as receiving them;
Best way is with NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect)
Many apps support it, and it makes zapping pretty seamless. Check it out here👇
More flexible but bit manual way
- Tap the ⚡ icon on the note you want to zap (if your client has that)
- you should be prompted to select which lightning wallet on your phone you want to open
- select app (say Wallet Of Satoshi), and it'll copy/paste the invoice for you automatically
- click "confirm" with the amount you want to send
Your zap has been sent
Which device are you using? iPhone or Android? Android has more flexibility
Here is a quick screen record on how you can setup NWC with nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0ds2g5zx8👇

Settings->Wallet->[deselect 'Use Primal Wallet']->select which wallet to choose->copy/paste NWC string from wallet of your choosing and place there (scanning QR Code from your wallet is best)
Done
Here I chose 'other wallet' for you so you can see what that would look like
-Alby wallet is prob easiest, if you use that
Lmk if you need help after selecting which wallet you use. Again many wallets support NWC so check out the site again and see which works best with what you daily drive

Follow #asknostr and reply when you know the answer
I like replying when I don't know the answer, just to spice things up
I hesitated to make this joke and find great relief in your approval nostr:npub1wamvxt2tr50ghu4fdw47ksadnt0p277nv0vfhplmv0n0z3243zyq26u3l2
Was a funny reply. Can relate to the suspense over a harsh joke. Don't get like me to where you don't care anymore lol 🤙
type in all caps 😉
I’m giving more than I ask for and, more importantly, enjoying the process.
You’re doing it right now too by asking questions
I'm trying to find my way with this too. The only engagement I get comes from commenting on other posts or tagging others in my posts.
Its a simple equation. Put Value out there for Nostr and Nostr will return more value to you than you can imagine.
Key is. You have to provide some sort of value first. It could be any or all of the suggestions above.
Reply
just engage and converse.
I recently did a zap challenge note, it is working great to build productive engagement.
Reply to other people and start conversations. There isn't an algorithm so you not going to get followers by just posting, if you want engagement you have to start it
it's the positive sense of FAFO 😉
Engage by replying in other conversations. Oh, and starting a Nostr client war doesn’t hurt. 😎
Reply reply reply...
I really try to follow people who have a good reply to post ratio (ie. Reply more that you post).
I second this ! 👏🏻
Actually you are an outstanding example of this nostr:nprofile1qqs9pregv44cmdpkz574yww72q62hsp4rwxfptpnu6c4d5075e9jjcqpvemhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0dec82c33xfars6nnv468gvmtxee8vwtxvyexwatpw56hqdf5xpchyvncw4mx57ntwgux2dpnxfkkwmrpve48gwfewdckkaee0fkhs0mzwfhkzerrv9ehg0t5wf6k2qg6waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3e8qmr9vfejucm0d5q3samnwvaz7tmwdaekgunfwejjuctswqhhyetvv9usnly6cs. 3.2k notes, 23k replies. 🤩
This is the way.
To have, give.
Engage in others’ posts/replies
Converse with others in public
Followed!
The fact that there is no algorithm here is what should motivate you to post good value. X is turning into an engagement farm, we barely know who is authentic there.
Don't announce a bunch of BlueSky rules for being included in your conversation.
I do think that we should cover broader topics, unrelated to Bitcoin
I would love to see more of that too, I will try to post some stuff unrelated to Bitcoin too that I am interested in. Although most of my interests are linked to Bitcoin 😁
