They are fortunate to have you as a friend, Duchess. Here are a few more tips:

6. Avoid hardware wallets and businesses that support shitcoins.

7. Be extra skeptical of individuals who frequently use terms like 'crypto,' 'blockchain,' and 'web3.' They may fall into one of three categories: scammers, gamblers, or individuals who lack a solid understanding of Bitcoin.

8. Learn how to create and manage multi-signature wallets for enhanced security. The best time to learn this is when you don’t need it.

9. Learn about UTXO management. This is easy when use software wallets like Sparrow.

Anyone want to keep me company for the next 2 hours while I pretend to work?

Start9 is another good option. I use a refurb dell micro PC with the start9 software.

Lightning shopkeepers.

What’s the best way to sell a digital book on my cloud hosted website using a full node on a home LAN (either Start9 or Umbrel).

I’m looking at BTCPay Server on Umbrel at the moment, but not sure how it integrates with my full node.

I believe the killer feature which solves your dillemma is that the major difference between nostr and all other social media apps out there is that nostr is NOT an app or platform, but an entire protocol. This is an important distinction as it allows both scenarios you posit, to exist. You can have everybody and a select few at the same time.

An app or platform sits on top of a protocol. Most existing social media is one app sitting on one protocol controlled by one entity.

Nostr itself is an open protocol which can have many apps/platforms/clients/etc sitting on top of it. Some of those apps can be wide open to anyone to post anything like damus or amythest. But people can also develop walled garden type apps, such as ZBD, on top of nostr.

Imagine a very specific client/app, let's call it OnlyMugs. Within the app, it only shows pics of coffee mugs. The app can sit on nostr and run its own relay that aggregates from other major relays but filters for only coffee mug pics. The rest of the world is free to continue posting whatever they want and it'll continue to be discoverable on damus, amythest, snort, iris, primal, etc etc. But if you're on OnlyMugs, you only see mugs.

Best of both worlds can happen with nostr protocol.

The Nostr protocol does not discriminate who can have a private key and sign events with them. So anyone is welcome to use the protocol. Communities of people, however, throughout all of history (whether on- or off-line) tend to distinguish between desirable and undesirable behaviors, and people who display desirable behaviors are welcomed into a community, and people who display undesirable behaviors are not welcomed or they are challenged to change. Maybe the expectations are unrealistic or perfectly reasonable, but it’s just how communities of people operate. There is no technical limit to what types of communities can grow on Nostr. But within each community certain behaviors will be accepted and others will not. Multiple communities may share values in common, and others may deviate from each other. There is no singular “Nostr” but rather people who use it, like the internet, like bitcoin. I only need to welcome into my timeline the people and behaviors I find appealing/acceptable. But if I shun other types of behavior and the people who exhibit them, I am not excluding them from Nostr.

I’ve never been a fan of the pronoun debate, but when you say something like “we are not as advanced as you guys” I do understand the argument and advocate its limited adoption.

Just as your influencer friend has no special privileges, so you are no less “advanced” as us “guys”.

We are all beginners, we are all learning, we are all equal.
