How do we view our sats? Is it an app? I’m using Damus to post and such. Thanks all.

Do you have bitcoin lightning wallet?
You do. Why asking ?
It does seem like an odd question for someone who is on #Nostr, has #BTC and a lightning wallet🤔🧐😂.
I don’t have bitcoin at all. I have the alby one but haven’t done anything with it.
I'm fairly new to #Nostr. I use #amethyst. I am probably not much help here.
I can say, however, that figuring out how all of this works is a fundamental issue with attracting people to #Nostr. It will be hard getting noobs to stay and engage without knowledable people being willing to meet these people where they're at. It just becomes an echo chamber of devs and wannabe devs.
Here's What I can offer:
You view your sats from within your wallet (it sounds like you use #alby).
Alby can be connected to your nostr client (I've never used #Damus so I don't know how this process works, but on Amethyst it required digging into settings and using #NWC. It was kinda complex, but doable without much outside help).
I believe alby is discontinuing its free wallet service, so you may need to find other services to use as a wallet.
I figured out that you can use #NWC to connect another wallet, like #coinos, to alby. In that case, you can login to either coinos or alby to view your sats. But you could probably just use 1 wallet service connected to Damus and be happy. I use coinos in combination with alby because alby allows for a direct integration with Amethyst. That may not be a thing for you.
Viewing sats from within your nostr client (Damus) is probably not possible. So, after successfully connecting your wallet to Damus, you would have to leave the client and open your wallet to view your sats.
In Amethyst (my client) linking your wallet to recieve sats is a different process then linking your wallet to send sats. That's a rabbit hole that took me several days to understand.
I hope others here can fill in some of these gaps and offer more help. Feel free to ask me any direct questions about any of these steps, but I am rather noob myself.
Good luck! 👍
Thanks for all this info. I’m on iOS and I believe that’s an android app.
I agree it’s pretty complex to new users like us.
I will probably switch to a different wallet then if there is no free option. I’m trying to figure out how to get my NWS. So many new terms and just new everything.
Yes. I totally understand. This processtook me more than a week of fiddling to get right.
#Amethyst is indeed an android based client. Our experience will likely diverge to the point where I am not of any help.
But in the mean time, some of the terminology that can help lead you to a solution:
NWC = nostr wallet connect. It's how I connected alby to amethyst so I could zap folks. I don't know if Damus uses nwc. You'll have to look into it.
Setting up my client to recieve zaps was a little different. I had to add my nostr wallet username to my profile settings in Amethyst for this step.
