I feel like the Bitcoin ecosystem is missing a go-to library of procedures and practices. That is, a collection of how-tos. For example, how to setup a wallet to self-custody keys. How to buy Bitcoin using fiat. How to protect against losing your keys. How to protect against losing Bitcoin on death. How to setup a wallet to enable Lightning transactions. How to setup a digital service to take Lightning payments.

There's quite a few different community guides out there but perhaps it would be helpful to place it on the primary Bitcoin website.

We tested zaps on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at ben@www.jetpen.com, over a period of about 5 hours. In each case, we found that your lightning address server did not respond correctly. You might want to look into using a cloud-based Lightning node which is optimized for Nostr zaps, to get your zaps working.

Sorry, I removed my lightning address from my Nostr profile, so don't try to zap me. The reason being I was using Wallet of Satoshi which just worked. When that got taken away, I never found another free lightning wallet that worked as easily. I mean, do I need to pay for Primal to make zaps work? This illustrates exactly the point of my original post. It's not obvious to a noob how to easily get equipped to make Bigcoin and Lightning work according to best practices.
