Oddbean new post about login | logout Welcome home! 🫂🎨 I was looking forward to an account like yours, I like movies and TV series but here there are only bots that send news, no one participates like you! So keep going and as soon as you can put a lightning address to receive small rewards in Bitcoin. If you need us we are here 🤙
Thanks, I’m getting used to the app, I will look into the lightining address.
Try This ⤵️ blink.sv
Is it a webpage?
It is a bitcoin wallet that provides you with an email-like address that allows you to receive small payments here on Nostr, see my profile. I have one with Minibits, yours with Blink could be for example: nowclip@blink.sv But you can only get it from that app and then entering the address here on your profile.
Great! I’ll look into that one and the other, minibits. This would be a first for me.
I see you use Damus, so for iOS you can try blink.sv if you are a European resident and have Telegram you can also use sats.mobi to get a lightning address
Wow it’s a lot. I watched a bunch of youtube videos. And tried to find the ones you suggested but couldn’t find the apps. I installed one called Phoenix Lighting Wallet. I guess I have an address now, bit it doesn’t look like an enail address at all.
Phoenix is a good wallet, but it is not suitable for Nostr. Keep it aside for when you have more experience. Blink wallet is very simple, download it for iOS and see.
I did, but it wants my phone number. I got Mutiny Wallet. But can’t find the correct address.
Mutiny was a great wallet for Nostr but its developers abandoned the project, so I don't recommend it. If you don't live in the United States you can try this: https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/ Or you have to try to trust Blink and give your phone number to use it.
I really appreciate your help. I never thought this was so complicated. I’ll keep trying.
Don't give up, it's complicated but it's worth it, I assure you. While I was writing to you I discovered that they have updated this very versatile wallet, take a look at it: https://lifpay.me/en/
What do you think about using Primal?
Yes of course Primal is also good, it has a built-in wallet where you have to enter your data, but it is not necessary to be true, except your location.
Yeah I saw that and thought well it already has a wallet must be compatible. And I guess it worked!! 🥳🥳🥳 But it didn’t let me choose my address and apparently I can’t change it. It gave me this address: rustoctopus5@primal.net
Great! That's fine, now you will receive your sats (bitcoin cents) directly inside Primal, but you will also be able to use Damus because you now have your lightning address set up. You should have received some sats from me ⚡💪
Ohh it’s already configured in Damus!! Thanksss… I really need to understand this…
That's the magic of Nostr. When you change clients to access Nostr, you'll have your settings and followers everywhere, in any Nostr app.
Wow I’ll keep both apps, Primal and Damus. And I recieved your gift. So quickly Amazing. Thank you so much!!
The Nostr universe is just beginning, Damus and Primal are just a drop in the ocean of apps you can use with your account. There are blogs, streaming services, websites and many more, check them out here: https://nostrapps.com/
Oh wow, I feel like I just fell down a rabbit hole, a good one. 👽👽 I appreciate your help so much. I feel like I’d be more comfortable having the wallet separate from the apps. Maybe I’m wrong.
No you are right. It is definitely better to have the wallet separate from the app especially when the numbers start to get big. But don't worry, Primal is fine to start with, when you find a lightning wallet you like, you can simply move your Bitcoins around.
do you know where in Primal can I find the seed phrase so I can back it up?
There is no seed phrase on the Primal wallet. The only backup is the email you activated it with. Here you have an overview to choose your wallet: https://21ideas.org/en/lightning-wallets/
Read this thread in its entirety and you will understand that the Nostr experience is not so simple for everyone. Ok maybe I did not give good advice, maybe Primal is the only way to start. However we need to improve the entry of new people who want to use lightning network to receive and send #zap. ⤵️ nostr:nevent1qqsvccd6gnjxvur04je38g2x0n93qvykw2jk87g66k3dtu0ut0ns3cqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgs0fk6jwz7ejxchh6s7d5p473w7uwffr8pfga9m4sgrgtfz836wp5qrqsqqqqqphc7ynm
