Login with your extension

I already have an account via Chrome browser extension.

I don't see a set a numbers. Maybe I see npub1 or nprivate numbers. Thats not it, right?

Doesn't matter, you have to go to the website and login with extension to register a ln address for your wallet.

oh, ok. Please hold for a little bit. Chaos in the house at the moment

how do I get this like yours?

After uou get the ln address you paste it into your clients settings.

In the Lightning address field 😌

the tip jar showed up after I pasted https://getalby.com/p/dowstudios. I would thought it would be a set of bitcoin numbers. So that would mean the tipper will have to use the alby extension to tip, right? I would think it would be "wallet to wallet" transfer.

Nope thta your alby personalized url.

Your ln address is dowstudios@getalby.com

Enter that and you're set.

ok, thanks, I did that.

so Alby is my bitcoin wallet, right? I know I got two sets of numbers but they begin with npub1 and nsec1. Is that how a bitcoin addresses begin? Like 0x for Etherium.

npub is your nostr public key

nsec is your nostr private key

Never share your nsec. That should be kept private.

I just zapped you, you should see the sats your alby wallet.

Alby is only a Bitcoin lightning wallet. Lightning is a second layer on top of Bitcoin mainchain.

For a Bitcoin mainchain you need another wallet.

On Nostr we use Lightning.

WalletofSatoshi.com has also mainchain.

And you also get a lightning address

I made a test at bitaddress.org and got 1BV6pdZhwuWxqykfiThaKnF6PjkoutmcWz

How come the "1B" don't match my "npub"?

Can I use npub at the exchange market?
