Thanks! I’m glad to be here and learn as I go!
I appreciate the example for how to use the lingo haha that’s actually very helpful
Welcome to nostr Zoë! Some things might feel overwhelming but there is no dumb questions so keep em coming as you learn more! Many people like to use the #askNostr hashtag too when asking all kinds of questions on here.
Seems like nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 covered your questions pretty well in his reply.
Thanks! I’m sure I’ll have more questions in the future 😆
1) Zaps are Nostr aware bitcoin payments, allowing you to tip, donate, get paid, and pay others for their content that you find valuable. Zaps have real world value. Zaps are better than likes. Likes ar hollow. Zaps for content are our super power here on Nostr.
2) I personally recommend to use a list of paid and public relays. Paid relays help to reduce spam, acting as a paywall. Free relays allow new users to easily find you. Relays aren't like Pokemon. You don't want to collect them all. The more you add, the more issues you'll have. Choose around a dozen or so. You'll want to choose relays that your friends are using. Otherwise you may not be able to find one another unless your client app that you're using is advanced and supports a new discovery method called gossip. Most don't right now, but will later this year.
https://nostr.watch has a list most of our relays.
This is good info! Thank you!
I’m in the US, so I’ll look into GetAlby and Strike! Thank you for the info!
Okay cool! Thanks!
I think the U.S. govt wants that real bad. But I really hope the Senate will rule against the ban. It’s not about national security. It’s about the govt not being able to control us and control the information we’re shown. But considering the corruption in our govt, it might happen.
Thanks! Glad to be here and away from the mess that most traditional social media has become.
Thank you! This is really helpful. I’ve been trying to do some research but frankly didn’t even know what key words to use in a search. I didn’t know what I didn’t know 🤣🤣 I’m looking forward to getting a bitcoin/nostr/relay education!
#nostrnewb here! 🙋🏼♀️
I’m unfamiliar with bitcoin lingo, relays etc, so I’ve got a LOT to learn. I’m not very tech savvy (even though I’m only 27, so I probably should be 😆) and have only ever used mainstream social media platforms like #tiktok #instagram #facebook #discord #twitter (or #x now). I have a few questions for the #nostr community:
1. What are zaps?
2. How do I find different relays and what relays would y’all suggest?

The blowing dirt is flaring up my allergies and asthma, and when I hear myself wheeze, I know it’s time for a spoonful of onion syrup!
It’s such a simple, natural remedy that sounds much worse than it actually tastes 🤣

Layer chopped onion and honey in a jar {onion, honey, onion, honey, etc} and let it sit for 24 hours. Then strain out the onion, and you’ve got a natural remedy for respiratory health! You can even add garlic, ginger, whatever you’d like to change up the taste or add extra benefits {garlic = antibiotic; ginger = anti-inflammatory}
It helps a cough, respiratory infection, allergy inflammation, asthma inflammation, you name it!
It works because onion is a natural expectorant, and both onion and honey are natural immune boosters, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory! It’s a much better alternative to mucinex or traditional cough medicines. And the syrup calms a sore throat too! If you can get local honey, it will help allergies as well!

First #nostr post! I ended up here because I’m all for getting away from social media platforms that unnecessarily censor their users.
