Hype.
In Mike's prime, Jake Paul wouldn't be considered good enough to fight him.
Schnur. This is Lapis. Can you read this? Sorry to hijak this thread... it is the only note that I can read from my Nostr client.
Anybody want to hear a hitchhiking story? I have several very good ones.
Thanks for the link. I think we're on a similar path and way of thinking here.
There' a virtue to selfishness that few understand.
Check out Ayn Rand explaining the evils of altruism:
"Altruism is an ethical system which claims that man has no right to exist for his own sake..."
Cheers! I'm fairly new myself. Let me know if you need any help with basic setup. There are a lot better helpers than me here, but if you find you're shouting into the void, feel free to hit me up!
Is it just me, or is 90k already boring?
Alby also has an integrated auto populating tool within Amethyst. I'm very noob, and having the necessary fields auto populate was a relief for me. I'm not sure where I would find the necessary info otherwise. 🤔
So, being able to zap others without needing to interact with my wallet outside the Amethyst client, and having the fields for setup auto populate are the main benefits (for me) of using alby.
alby let's me zap posts natively within Amethyst, without leaving the client. Easy peezy lemon squeezy.
I guess if I can use alby to recieve zaps as well as send them, I can get rid of Coinos. I wasn't sure if that was possible. I'll look closer tomorrow.
I was just posting another note about this when I saw your response. I think I have everything configured. I just need to send some BTC to my wallet to test it.
I have Coinos linked to alby, and alby connected to Amethyst via the Wallet Connect Service. I will zap you when I have some funds. I'm a little nervous that it isn't going to work on first try. We'll see soon enough.
Ok. Nothing comes easy, but setting up lightning based sends and recieves in #Amethyst has been pretty hard for me, and I'm not sure I've done it right... I am looking for some basic guidance/reassurance about the set up process.
Let me explain what I've done:
I made a #coinos account, mostly because I saw someone else had it on their profile and seemed to be using it successfully. Coinos is a nostr client/wallet that supports lightning transactions and nwc.
Anyway, through a series of trials and errors, I finally connected my coinos account to my Amethyst profile by entering my coinos address, micahcmiracle@coinos.io, into the field labeled, "LN Address" in Amethyst's profile settings.
Yay... my coinos address now shows up on my profile page next to the zap icon ⚡️
I also spent time configuring my Coinos account. I entered my nsec in coinos, and set up the client as best I could... hopefully, with all this done, I can recieve zaps now, though I haven't recieved any yet, so I don't really know.
Next I copied my nwc from within coinos and set up an #alby account in hopes of having an integrated way of zapping notes natively within Amethyst.
I entered my nwc from coinos into alby and successfully linked my wallet. Alby says my wallet is linked and generated its own address for me, which I updated to micahcmiracle@getalby.com ...
Finally, from within Amethyst, I connected alby via an automated process via the Wallet Connect Service. This service automatically populated a Wallet Connect pub key, relay and secret.
Does this seem right? I haven't added funds to my Coinos wallet yet, but when I do, I'm hoping I can zap my first note natively within Amethyst via my alby account. I am also hoping that others can zap my notes and they will go into my Coinos wallet.
Please share your thoughts. I am not a dev or technical user. I hope that if and when I get this right, I can help other normies get set up in the future.
