I also think it didn't help he got bombarded by a bot telling him (aside from the lightning wallet) to set up a NIP-05 address.

If you never heard of a BIP (not into bitcoin) and someone says you need a NIP-05 address, while an nsec/npub is already a new concent, it's not surprising someone gives up. 🫤 

 Yes. I see that bot every day. It's very cringe. 

 Is that the minestr bot?
