 Still trying to figure out how to use it.  
 probably fighting compile errors 🥺 
 I actually got it to install on my laptop,  but then when i used my keys all of my relays failed to show.   
 The wizard lets you enter a relay where you know your data is.  You need either a kind-10002 or a kind-3 with embedded relays for gossip to "find" your relays.  There is no central nostr directory, so it needs your help to get kickstarted.

I'm sad so many people get stuck and give up at that step, and basically never see it working. 
 I said i just got it to install finally,  mostly due to new linux user error. I didnt say i was giving up on it.  I like the idea of a client that doesnt require an open browser.  However i use my mobile for 90% of my internet usage.   
 Oh, I see. Gotcha.   I was responding to the fact I've heard a lot of people give up at that spot.  Carry on. 
 Yeah im but a humble linux noob who decided fuck it lets use arch as my first distro and foray into linux.
