Thanks — gotta get a wallet set up soon!
Welcome new users to Nostr! Probably the most helpful resources I've seen for those curious, for example in #introductions:
1- A lot of people will try to "zap" you. This means sending you Bitcoin for your posts via Lightning Network. If you set up a wallet, you'll get the sats and be able to send them. Probably the easiest way to do it is with @`Wallet of Satoshi`. I've heard that @`primal`has a setup for those in the United States. This guide covers how: https://nostr.how/en/guides/setup-zapping-wallet
2- Though people have been sharing their npubs, there is a way to create a more human-readable NIP-05 like the one I have (loki@nostr-verified.com) that can be easier to share. This guide covers how: https://nostr.how/en/guides/get-verified
3- If you're interested in running your own Lightning Node and relay, there are tools like @`Start9`and @`Umbrel ☂️` that can help. https://www.nodeacademy.org/ from @`Leo` is a great resource on how to spin up a Lightning Node on your own. https://usenostr.org/relay works for setting up a Nostr relay. The two together are immensely powerful - and show the fullest potential of Bitcoin and Nostr. Be your own social media, your own app store, and your own bank - censorship-proof.
