First thing of all, welcome all new users to #nostr. It's a vibrant place where you own your data and indentity (it's a paradigm shift).
Can we please ask you to spend 2 minutes adding a profile photo and a short text about yourself in your nostr profile?
It goes a long way to be able to connect to you instantly!
Optional: set up a lightning wallet and a lightning address so that you can participate in the killer feature of #nostr... Sending and receiving bitcoin!

Welcome to the party! 🎉
Don't forget to set up a lightning wallet so that we can zap you (send sats)!
Don’t know who needs this reminder, but I think the best zapping experience on #nostr is with nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm. And don’t forget you can add your Alby account to nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5!
- Get yourself a node-in-your-phone and utilize Zeus’s LSP for that (save 5% on LSP fees with code ‘TPB’ btw!)
- Add your Alby account as another node/account in the Zeus app. Instructions can be found here (but just scan the LNDhub QR code in Alby, it’s that simple) https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-lightning-account/connect-to-other-apps/mobile-apps/zeus
Going between these two in Zeus is so sick. It’s really everything I need for payments and zapping ⚡️
Best zapping experience on #nostr is with #Amethyst and nostr wallet connect (nwc).
Alby and Mutiny wallet support nwc.
One click zaps ♥

If the other party initiates the force close then your settings don't help. That's why it is important to spread the message!
The gif provider (tenor?) changed something last month.
Instead of providing the url of the gif they now provide the binary directly.
#Amethyst will need an update.
I don't use mutiny wallet but it should show your lightning address in the user interface?
Make sure to configure nostr wallet connect nwc. One click zaps are a killer feature!
I'm having an issue with #zap notifications. I have lightning box set up with persistent option running in blixt. I am getting zaps in wallet but not showing up in amethyst notifications for Android. Both are lastest versions. Any suggestions?

Just a heads up that zaps aren't the same as lightning payments.
All lightning wallets accept lightning payments but they don't all support zaps.
Zaps require additional server side logic to reply back so that the nostr application records the sent zap as received.
When I tried this last with my non custodial lightning wallet I was able to receive the zap but it didn't record on the nostr network.
What error are you getting?
Navigate to lightning app in umbrel and click receive.
Tech Assistance Requested: 🛠️⚡ I'm navigating the fascinating world of #Bitcoin and the #LightningNetwork with a Raspberry Pi 5, running Raspberry Pi OS alongside #Umbrel.
My goal is to establish my own Lightning Network POS system to facilitate payments for services provided.
So far, #Zeus nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 seems to be the best app for this task, yet I'm encountering a recurring issue: intermittent connectivity to my Lightning Node/Core node, which hampers reliability.
Furthermore, I'm exploring the use of a lightning address (beitmenotyou@lifpay.com) to streamline tipping via Nostr, aiming for a setup that directs funds straight to my node without a hitch.
I'm reaching out to the #Nostr community for insights and solutions.
How can a non-programmer like myself ensure consistent node accessibility and integrate a lightning address effectively for direct node payments?
Any guidance, tools, or alternative approaches you can recommend would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your support and wisdom! 🙏

Big topic. Some random thoughts.
Resiliant Hardware. Not sure if pi5 is of doe the task. I would consider ups (universal power supply), backup Internet connection and raid 1 hard drive setup.
Inbound liquidity will be crucial for you. I would look into liquidity pools to guarantee people can send you sats.

Monitoring will be important. Consider woofbot app and https://bolt.observer/
