 Trying to figure out Nostr and Damus and all this stuff! Social media for the future!

#introductions 
 Hi Jon Lunceford, and welcome to #nostr! 🤓

I tried to ⚡️zap you some welcome sats (bitcoin), but you haven't set a #lightning address in your profile yet 🥺 Setting a lightning address allows anyone to zap you some sats when they value your contribution, want to say "hi", or any other reason! Good options for beginners to get a lightning address include the Wallet of Satoshi, Speed Wallet or Minibits (for US users) lightning apps 😊

I can also help people check their #nostr address is working (if they have one). Nostr addresses are not mandatory, but some people like using them to add a personal touch to their profile. If you like, I can give you one for free at "yourname@minestr.app". Just get in touch! 😊

Once you've fixed your address, just post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll check it again for you! 👌 I'll also send you some sats ⚡️ Any questions? Just ask!
