In Coinos, go to the settings cog.

Select "New Connection."

Give it a name, like which Nostr app you are connecting to. You can also set a budget and how often it renews. Then scroll down and click "Submit." No need to mess with any of the other options.

Now you should have a connection set up that looks something like the one below. Select "Copy NWC."

At this point you'll need to go over to Damus to paste that NWC connection string into the proper place in that client. I am on Android, so I don't have Damus to be able to tell you exactly where to paste it in, but maybe nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s, nostr:npub13v47pg9dxjq96an8jfev9znhm0k7ntwtlh9y335paj9kyjsjpznqzzl3l8, or nostr:npub1yaul8k059377u9lsu67de7y637w4jtgeuwcmh5n7788l6xnlnrgs3tvjmf can point you in the right direction.

Unfortunately, Primal on iOS does not support connecting an external wallet, so you won't be able to zap from Primal until they add it. Given the recent court ruling against Apple and in favor of Epic Games, I would not be surprised if Primal adds this in the near future, as the app on Android already includes it.

Another app you might want to try on iOS is Nostur. nostr:npub1n0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qnflahe is the dev behind that app, and he's packed a ton of features into it! He can tell you where to paste your NWC connection string from nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch into Nostur.

Almost there! I don't know where on Damus to paste it in, but I'm looking around...maybe one of your account links can help me out there. Thank you so much, I feel closer to getting it all done.

Well, you are going to want something that allows you to both send and receive zaps, right?

Strike works for receiving zaps, since they give you a lightning address, but not so well for sending, because they don't have Nostr Wallet Connect. (Yet?)

I am not familiar with Exodus wallet, but it seems to be a multi-coin wallet, so I doubt it really has anything for Lightning and Nostr focused features.

My recommendation for dead simple Nostr integration from a custodial wallet is nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch, hands down.

Setting up an account is free, and no KYC at https://coinos.io/

Once you do, you can go one of two ways.

1. Switch everything to Coinos. Put the lightning address they give you into your profile in place of the one you have from Alby so you can receive zaps, and copy/paste the Nostr Wallet Connect string from your Coinos settings into whichever Nostr client you are using, assuming it supports Nostr Wallet Connect, so you can send zaps.

2. Use Coinos WITH Alby by copying your Coinos Nostr Wallet Connect string into where your Alby account wants you to connect a wallet. Then you don't need to change your lightning address, as your Alby lightning address will send payments to your Coinos wallet. You'll still need to also paste the Nostr Wallet Connect string from Coinos into your Nostr client for sending zaps, though.

What Nostr client(s) are you using?

I'm working on choice number 2 and so far so good! I'm stuck on: "paste the Nostr Wallet Connect string from Coinos into your Nostr client". Where would I find that? I use both Damus and Primal.

Here's some fresh salad from the garden. Just looking at it makes me feel better.

Now, before I lose all hope in participating in BTC please help me!

I am *trying* to link a wallet with #alby. I even bought the $36 annual fee Hub (stupidly with my wallet instead of a cc but I didn't notice until it was too late and I think I fixed that but it's too late for the initial and argh!).

I am on a vicious loop in Alby that keeps sending me to "link to your own wallet" (which I hit)...then I hit the "pro cloud/pro" which tells me I now HAVE a current plan....and then....nowhere do I connect?...back to "link to your own wallet"....again and again πŸ˜–πŸ˜«

I find this whole process incredibly non-intuitive and difficult.

HOW do I now connect everything to reestablish my ability to send and receive zaps again?

If any of you professionals (ie. you know what you're doing) really want to grow this thing, it would be helpful to offer in person help/classes through the library or parks n rec, that sort of thing.

I bet there are a LOT of people like me who Just Can't Get It (but want to) 🫣

forever a #newbie

Yeah I know I have an issue somewhere with it and need to figure it out πŸ˜• Thanks for trying and letting me know though!

I invested in a Light Phone to help me opt out of having a smartphone that makes me feel stupider every day. All this does for me is text and call. I didn't even add the extras such as directions, because I miss having good directional sense. I still have my SIMless smartphone at home on wifi for apps (such as this one), but slowly I am peeling those away either onto my desktop or to analog. So far, my favorite is to be out and about and to make contact and communication with other people who aren't nose down into their phones. Nice little tool, so far.

Lovage is a great garden addition for both culinary (strong celery flavoring) and medicinal (a warming diuretic for cases such as edema or UTI) purposes. Worth researching if you haven't met this humble plant IMO.

Growing medicine in my garden makes me happy.

Took a walk in one of the pastures I am fixing up and found an old plastic soda bottle. Upon digging, discovered a garbage dump. Two black full trash bags so far and no end in sight. Not. Happy.

My happy place: picking dandelion flowers in the sunshine, then picking off all of the petals to make a lovely soft jelly with.

Loving the spring greens. Here I foraged dandelion, nettle, sorrel and plantain, picked kale and chard from the garden, and then added some baby spinach I had in the fridge. Seasoned and then cooked down with a little water and tomato sauce πŸ˜‹

The sun finally showed up and I am happy to see it β˜€οΈ

Also happy to have the garden mostly planted; here's hoping the deer will continue to avoid the buffet while better fencing gets installed this year. My scrappy use-up-extra-yarn sweater is coming along, and now that the planting is in a good place perhaps I can finish it. I took some time to fly away with some friends, which was fun (highly recommend, if you can do it).

Meanwhile, I've been making some changes. Like trading my smartphone for a Light Phone, and my desktop computer for a Daylight. My daughters and I are challenging each other to read an entire book every two weeks, and I'm loving that as my "reading" had become lazy due to the screen-scrolling kind. Also closing up my online client clinical herbalist practice, and choosing to keep my handful of local see-in-person clients instead.

It's mostly a slow-go spring endeavoring towards an even more slow-go livestyle, and I'm happy with that pace thus far 🌿

Nettle's up, oh happy spring! That means it's time for me to get my green starts outside, another measure of happiness. I left my lemon verbena out all winter and even my chopped down celery. It all survived, even the celery (!) and is making a come back. Can't wait to check out my bioreactor compost later this summer after its yearlong stew.

Working on the second sleeve of my use-it-up scrappy yarn sweater. Spring is almost here so I better hurry it up!

wondering why they aren't relevant and what people are "really" talking about πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

what hashtags (if any) would you suggest?

most of my reads are just everyday life homesteaders and Bitcoin people I'm trying to learn from

Curious why those aren't useful hashtags as I've used and searched most of them πŸ€”πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ (newbie question, not trolling)
