The man loves his walks.

#dogstr

When I started my #nostr journey I followed everyone (especially the ladies). It didn’t matter whether I agreed with them or cared to understand whatever it was they were posting. I thought following them and interacting with them would help me grow as a person.

Fast forward to right now… after taking some time away from what felt like a massive TL of people hating positivity and questioning the integrity of positive notrs I’ve come to realize the issue wasn’t me. It was who I followed and how I internalized their notes. Welp… the sun has set and it’s time for something new.

If you’re new here… Welcome!! Follow freely but remember there’s no harm in unfollowing either. You are awesome. Post honestly. Post often. What/who is for you will find you 🌻 #grownostr

Pretty cool to see a bunch of X users moving over to #Nostr. I am guilty of not using Nostr as much as X. Need to spend more time in the world we want to be in.

Just received my first zaps! Only set my account up an hour ago! Thank you ewok.gm 🫶

It's a learning curve. Just like using bitcoin the first time. But in the long run totally worth it.

You're gonna get it. Don't give up.

Thats a great one! You will go far with that one. But trying others helps also. Then join cornychat.com for live nostr people who will help you by voice.

Yes! Hey, Android buddy!

How are you accessing Nostr? Primal, damus, amethyst, etc.

That kinda gives us a starting point to help you through set up.

I like Sol.

I don’t have as much as I used to/ want.

I bought around $3 about three years ago and sold it.

Focused ok cashflow creation via forex and options trading; that I will parlay profits into my macros.

Which are (in no particular order):

BTC

GUARD (basically BTC on Binance Chain)

SOL

TSLA

NVDA

Real world assets ie biz and real estate

Damus for iOS. There is others.

Nostrudle.ninja (web based)

Coracle

Primal

There are way more than this.. maybe 30-50 that allow you to get onto Nostr. Some have different features. I usually am on Damus.

Nah don’t give up.

Just take it one micro step at a time.

You already are interacting with people.

Next go field by field in your profile to get all you want setup in there.

Do one a day or every other day as to not overwhelm ya

There will be growing pains but you’ve got this. Using #asknostr for questions is a great way to connect and learn.

Maybe this will help, too nostr:note1dlftradt42v3mes9lqrjatl6r6a9wfnlyz3me8qv5r6ygqxrk4lqv7c76e

Definitely try different clients. Mix and match till you find the one(s) that work for you.

A little bit…

The hardest (confusing) part for me is that I wasn’t seeing any interactions unless I manually clicked into my individual posts.

Got that fixed by the First Aid feature of the Damus app

Next piece was just understanding the verification / vanity URL vs the public key as means of sharing my profile with people.

Working on the last bit now, Lightenting (not in a position to create a wallet securely until tomorrow)

What client are you using?

Hashtags give you reach and can find what you want. Some clients work better in some ways than others.

Once your following enough active people your feed will light up like normal.
