Did i set up my account correctly? 
 Hi Name, and welcome to #nostr!

Just checking your addresses... 🤓

▶️ #Nostr address (NIP-05)
❌ You haven't set a nostr address in your profile 🥺 Nostr addresses help verify that you're a real person. We'll give you one for free at "yourname@minestr.app", if you like. Just get in touch! 😊

▶️ #Lightning address (LN address)
❌ You haven't set a lightning address in your profile yet 🥺 Setting a lightning address allows anyone to zap you some #sats (bitcoin). An easy option for beginners to get a lightning address is the Wallet of Satoshi or Minibits lightning app 😊

Once you've fixed your addresses, just post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll check them again for you! 👌 I'll also send you some sats ⚡️

 Could you please define what a nostr address really means?

#asknostr 
 The ability to cryptographically sign new events  with your secret private key under your unique nostr identity - npub...... 
 I should post my secret npub into my profile? 
 🦂 
 It's not really verification of identity or status, since there is no actual verification occuring and they can be obtained for free at little effort. Effectively it's a kind of vanity badge that may or may not tell others about you or a website that you are associated with 🙂 
 Thanks! 
 You’ve made it on to nostr, so it worked. 
 Thanks!
