Like 50 people told me to sort out getting a Lightning address on my profile last night, so I went down that rabbit hole. I think I got it working with npub.cash. Still feeling a bit lost, this is kind of like discovering the internet in the mid 90s for the first time again for me 😂
I zapped you 21 sats and it didn't show in my alby that it went through.

The best part is you can explore different types and pick the one that you like the best. I’ve probably used 8-10 so far. You can use different ones for sending and receiving, and send balances between them. Once you learn about self custody, the real journey begins.
FWIW strike is the simplest way to get this going — goes right into your balance then have a free option for cold storage I run a lightning node but for simplicity still opt for using centralized services with periodically moving things over to self custody

I have an @Alby invite if you want to try it. Alby integrates tightly with nostr and many other bitcoin services.
Yeah, that would be awesome!
Will do! It asks for an email address to send the invite to. Feel free to DM it if you don’t want to post that publicly. https://image.nostr.build/6aa102dac3824087589c4fb14145457bfab9bd9aade0628debd9727e6d211ac8.jpg
Hit the nail on the head, welcome to the new internet🤝
This is the way
It’s nuts amirite? 😆 Since you’re using npub.cash, check out the @0xchat app. Makes it super easy to redeem your ecash.
Thanks for the recommendation. I actually just went ahead and decided to set up the Alby wallet for now since I got an invite yesterday.
No problem. Have fun out there. 🤙
