Hey Kevin!

Just got Alby and it works! Also testing Blitz

Haha thank you Ben, and thanks for the zaps! And the notifications just came in so maybe they’re just a bit delayed! ☺️☺️

By the way, your art is absolutely stunning

Got it! Thank you so much 🙏🏻🫶🏻

Oh wait I received your says to my Alby wallet it’s just that no notifications show up on the app! I guess because I don’t have a primal wallet. That’s kind of a bummer haha

Do you connect your blitz wallet to your primal wallet? My issue is I can’t get a primal wallet directly in Canada so I need another wallet that supports NWC and I don’t think blitz does

Okay amazing let me give this a try! Thank you

Oh thank you but I don’t think so! I ended up setting up an Alby account but I need to set up an actual wallet and they have a 9.99/ month fee which at the level I’m working with right now doesn’t make sense. You recommended Blitz right? Does that have a monthly fee?

Okay I *think* I have my wallet set up! Let’s test!

Oh amazing thank you for sharing!

Love this. And yes! I gotta get on that. So many people telling me to get my wallet going lol. I’ve got about 6 to look into for a Canadian gal. Appreciate the support!

Oh amazing I will definitely read. Thanks Ben!

After writing this I realized there was some false humility when I was talking about making money here. I was thinking about how much I actually would love to build a business through sharing here. Yes service, and also I’m totally going to own how I’d love to be really financially supported doing the things that feel the most natural, generous and authentic for me- which also are the things that deeply serve humanity and are super aligned to what I really care about in this world.

Thank you!

I get the feeling haha

Amazing thank you!

I want to share a bit about what has called me to NOSTR and how it feels. First, I barely know how any of this works 😅 I am getting my footing slowly but honestly, it feels vulnerable to be on a platform (even the right word? I guess the platform is Primal and the network is NOSTR?) where I don’t understand the infrastructure. I like feeling a bit shaky at the knees. And yet it’s a little overwhelming. I haven’t really cared to understand the philosophical side or technical side of freedom tech until now. I have been in the camp of “yeah that sounds great but I don’t think I’m ready to look at it yet.”

I remember years ago trying to understand crypto at a technical level and my brain just couldn’t grasp the language. It was only recently when someone explained the ethos and philosophy around Bitcoin specifically that something clunked in and I was like “oh. YES.”

I just learned that bitcoin is unique from other crypto.

I’ve been in the study of universal law and energy for the past 4 years or so. I follow the current of what I’d call Truth. I naturally track how energy moves within people and between people. I can sense where there are kinks and leaks. I care deeply about men and women coming into right relationship with one another.

And when I heard Bitcoin explained to me in the way it recently was, I really felt the cleanness of it. It feels like it matches universal law. It is starting to make sense to me in a language that I know.

Ask me about nodes and mining and all these other pieces and my brain starts to slowly malfunction. But I know my mind works in a very specific way and it will come when it comes.

And then I heard about NOSTR and similarly, have no real idea what the heck is going on, but I felt the curiosity and the yes. It’s time to bring myself here.

I’ve spent the last 7 years very active on Instagram. I’ve had a lot to share with the world and in many ways it’s been an amazing place for me to express. AND I’ve felt how the energetic return back isn’t clean.

I have a lot to say. I have a lot to offer. And it’s been incredibly difficult to build a business that’s integrous and takes care of me using that medium of expression. I’ve seen others do it - few. But it’s never worked for me. And there’s a lot I’m not willing to do to pimp out my essence for money.

If I could share my work and my words without ever having to make a dime from it, that would be the best case scenario. I write because I love it. I support people because I love it. It’s my service.

And, I know that the energy is meant to come back to me (and in many non monetary ways it really does).

All that to say, expressing myself in an online network that feels cleaner and more oriented to Truth, feels like the next step for me. Not so that I can get anything out of it, but at least I know I’m contributing my essence in a place where it feels like people will really be able to receive it. I also trust I will be taken care of in my life and am committed to keep stepping towards what feels right- no matter how slowly.

I am currently also putting attention on Substack and I’ve found the community there very different than the other platforms.

Coming onto here, my god, the warm welcome I received last night smacked me. It was quite overwhelming! Haha. I like how it feels over here. Even if half the stuff I am reading doesn’t fully make sense to me. 😬

Even if I am just about to buy my first sats and need to rely on others to guide me through it. It feels right.

So, to those who said Hi, thank you! I am intrigued to see what magic is made here together 🫶🏻

Hi!

Thank you!

Hey! Awesome!

Oh I love that so much! Congratulations!

You as well Tristan!

Thank you I will give this a try!
