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!

Thanks advice! Running Brave browser which is Tor based I think. On IOS currently. Using Primal for zaps. Do I need Coinos too?

you are using Primal which I do not rexomend, they got your nsec and you are using their wallet by default,not a non custodial waller neither, on a Bitcoin comparison you are using Coinbase, just my opinion

Brave... has TOR support, not TOR based, meaning you can open .onion sites and even better Web3 sites which is great.

being on iOS perhaps Damus and as a wallet for zaps Coinos.io will make sense, just sign in with a NIP-55 signer like Amber so you are not giving your nsec to another parry

Thanks! Been wondering about my setup. Having trouble getting username format right in nostrcheck. Any steps prior?

no, just add your npub and get a private message on your client for conformation, you will figure it out

I started with Primal. Should I start over?

I'm unable to zap notes....I don't want to use the primal wallet ..etc

if you value privacy and self custody and decentralization, I would say yes... just my opinion
