So the one with my name is like I verified my account to that name
The one with the little lightning sign is my wallet of satoshi lightning address so I can receive sats for my notes.

So the first one is like a blue check on Twitter?
You're completely speaking Greek to me on the second one... Lightning? Sats? Notes?
Yes just like that..
Sats is bitcoin
Notes are post (tweets)
Lightning is the network used to send you bitcoin for your post..
So when you post something and I think it's great I can send you bitcoin for that post.
That sounds great! Where do I go to get that set up? Do I need another app, or can I just do it in Amethyst?
Getalby is a great app to get your lightening address. I got my personalized nostr address through iris which is a pretty good client too.
nostr:npub1za3kr3ndst5kdvxnvue4r7pyaf2tl0az9zqwr786a9aruvhf7cpqpsgre0 recommended it too, so I just got it. I put it in the lightning address part of my profile. Does that mean I can send and receive zaps now?
NOSTR allows you to ‘self verify’ no need to get Elon’s permission for a blue check. If you control the internet domain you can get a verified address. I’m jessemarkowitz@yourpersonalcryptoassistant.com.
Different clients display your ‘verified address’ differently.
Lightning is way of sending bitcoin faster and cheaper.
Sats is short for Satoshis. It’s like cents in bitcoin. One US Dollar is equivalent to 100 cents. One Bitcoin is equivalent to 100 million Satoshis. Take a look at https://www.finder.com/satoshi-to-bitcoin-conversion-calculator
Notes is what gets posted on NOSTR. Like tweets on the service formerly known as Twitter.
Hope this helps!!!
