I don't see the address yet, but it can take 10 min to update across the relays

You didnt, you need to set a lightnjng address, not sure phoenix supports that out of the box

ah, one day i'll get it, not today it seems 🙃

thanks 💜

Where you live will determine wallet options.

USA?

yeah 🇺🇸

Custodial, but easy to get going while you learn the more advanced stuff:

Cashapp

Speed wallet

Minibits

i'm not really looking for a custodial solution, but thanks for the suggestions 💜

i'll probably check back into the LN ecosystem in 6 months or so, and cross my fingers in the meantime 🤞

I've been here 2.5yrs.

LN hasn't changed.

Good luck!

the quickest way is probably minibits, its custodial since its ecash but you can spread the risk across mints later if needed

it will get you going fast while you figure things out

Was just about to suggest that

just tried to #zap. got this:

"Could not assemble LNUrl from Lightning Address "lno1pgqppmsrse80qf0aara4slvcjxrvu6j2rp5ftmjy4yntlsmsutpkvkt6878s82q8ue4cd9hsx0y07ejd7ffx9clte7kp09w0wjy8djz8nga9twf6qgp08heheuvumjg9c24rsyrx8k39l2r470vhkce9zpqy492udpqlhhqqxvgyymdt8an3erjh8zs2k5ppj060tkncshxw5msyw5fnpeas6td68f3hesv6ayhcnaqycfa7a6ls6cmnt4jq9x2n0xfaxf5yztuckvrs6xszgkpncjcdm2j3juwl67avmxmyy88jqqeprmedndhyh89vhy952xlp5ylzgyn62sex5z4yddly378u55cs9nsm9lecsk5u63dxxggw50wynpf66gls".

thanks for trying 💜

Unable to complete operation

Phoenix has bolt12 lightning addresses which are not supported for receiving zaps

Try Blitz wallet, Phoenix is not suitable for Nostr because it does not provide you with a lightning address

thanks this seems to have worked 💜

Maybe try #Minibits wallet instead?

i ended up using blitz wallet
