Hi,
#introductions
I’m Pratyaksh, can be called Prat. Will post my tweets here to earn zaps.
A curious being.
And as nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m says Bitcoin and chill.

This is a NWC Uncle Jim setup, right? What assurance is there that users won’t get rugged?
Same assurances as every other custodial wallet service. I'm operating in Australian as a registered company and I pay my taxes rather than some company registered in Cyprus. Australia has very strict and enforced consumer protection laws. Australia has very strict privacy laws so I can't sell or use any data I collect.
Using Cloudflare and AWS and not some dodgy Russian data center.
So, bottom line is, law enforcement can easily find me and I don't want to go to jail.
Thanks for the answers. Did Phoenix and Wallet of Satoshi ending support for the United States give you any second thoughts?
Yes.
I wouldn't be allowing Americans if Trump didn't win the election. The previous administration was very hostile towards crypto.
There's a cost for self custody. For new users to nostr and Bitcoin, I provide a simple to use service to get them started. The best thing to happen, would be a new user leaving my service because they've earned enough sats to setup their own Albyhub or Phoenix wallet, or Umbel etc.
Or, they buy a nice cup of coffee with the zaps they earned.
Thanks for that, I’ll keep you in mind when I’m helping people onboard. What you’re offering is very similar to nostr:nprofile1qqszpxr0hql8whvk6xyv5hya7yxwd4snur4hu4mg5rctz2ehekkzrvc64twc2. The main difference is they have established a reputation as a client. I only heard about you in the past 24 hours because I saw your reply to a new user. I’ve set up an nostr:nprofile1qqsg96chswrrp288wv0auzjtalmjk4gfvvz098n75ljy5uca2jugm8q5pvzeq instance to try out. The seamless integration with nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0s8jq7y6 Go is nice. My concern is what happens if someone loses their NWC backup string.

nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kkdf7q5yzf4v7tn2ek78v0zp2y427mj3sa7f34ggjccd5eyg is an excellent choice, feature rich, supports privacy, tiktok like feeds, excellent look and feel, it is ahead of most clients by far.
For Android and iOS:
nostr:nprofile1qqs9ajjs5p904ml92evlkayppdpx2n3zdrq6ejnw2wqphxrzmd62swspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6qgdwaehxw309aukzcn49ekk2qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8x6tpd4ehgu3wvdhk6ynf30t is a good alternative, more like Telegram. The UI is complex, but you may like it!
For iOS only:
nostr:nprofile1qqsraldwhvwcjgltmxwfu7kw8dqef2692yhzheuurd7k3kfy8cxjdqg9cvnm5 (users talk positive about this client, give it a try)
#### Wallets: ####
Depends, here few interesting options:
1. You are fine with custodial wallets (your money...):
Go for Wallet of Satoshi (https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/), get the app, add the address to your profile, it does not have NWC, but you really don't need it. (doesn't work in USA, unless you use a VPN)
2. The impatient with no time looking for the most complete web based non custodial web wallet:
nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev, https://coinos.io, rich with features, you can receive emails every time you are zapped as well!. Very cool wallet, the dev team rocks, they are doing the good work creating more Bitcoin awareness and helping businesses to accept it.
3. Hands down the best in town Mobile App:
nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszxnhwden5te0wfjkccte9ekkjmnfvf5hguewvdshx6p0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0wsvavr (you can buy a vanity address like yourname@minibits.cash BOLT11), the app is user friendly and the devs are active in the Nostr community.
4. For the tech savvy and the ones that put the time to do it right:
https://npub.cash - get your vanity address name@npub.cash or use your npub by default and use it as your wallet address to receive anonymous & private LN payments and Cashu payments.

Welcome!
Few things you should know:
1. get a check mark in #Nostr, there are few options, I suggest nostrcheck.me, once you get it, edit your profile and update your Nostr-Address, not having it will hide you in some clients
2. follow hashtags, a good way to find like minded people
3. think of your nsec as your Bitcoin private keys, act accordingly
4. chose a client that respect your privacy, meaning, you can sign in with a Signer protecting your nsec, it has TOR built in and above all, you can manage the relays you use. I suggest nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kkdf7q5yzf4v7tn2ek78v0zp2y427mj3sa7f34ggjcpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj703s8dt t
5. add your lighting address in the profile so you can get zap, few options out there, I suggest nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev for most people
have fun!
