Step 1: get a nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll

Step 2: install btc core, LND, AlbyHub services on start9

Step 3: Open Private lightning Channel to Stacker news at a minimum. could be as little as 100k sats

Step 4: Create Stacker News acct. set up send/receive using NWC from your alby hub

Step 5 (optional): toggle stacker news as receiving proxy in stacker news settings in order to not publicize your lightning node id. this service costs sats fyi.

Congrats, you can now send zaps with your NWC alby hub and receive sats to your node via your stacker news ln address. buy something on shopstr or donate 20k sats to p2p rights to make some inbound liquidity for receiving zaps.

Is this easy? of course not. but if youre reading this, you already doing the work to try and learn something new ( nostr, btc, lightning), and you should strive to do the above too. its fun to learn new skills, such as using lightning, and also lots of people here to help you along the way too 🙂 start small, take baby steps 🤙
