Ja, that's brutal. It's probably media more than the note text. But I'm not sure how much relay chat contributes to those 2gb.

If you look at your relay screen... Any relays that are showing crazy amount of data transfer

The "since amethyst was open last time" could be a bit tricky.

How about... Dvm lists what optional parameters it accepts and amethyst exposes a few values like "opened list time" as environment variables that can be used.

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.

Glad you got it working. I'm just not sure about the alby/coinos mix?

You can use either one on its own?

Sending and receiving in amethyst are two seperate configurations. You can configure service A for receiving and service B for sending but then you have to move funds yourself between A and B.
