Hi PTFOCHEF, and welcome to #nostr!

Just checking your addresses... 🤓

▶️ #Nostr address (NIP-05)
❌ You haven't set a nostr address in your profile 🥺 Nostr addresses help verify that you're a real person. We'll give you one for free at "yourname@minestr.app", if you like. Just get in touch! 😊

▶️ #Lightning address (LN address)
❌ You haven't set a lightning address in your profile yet 🥺 Setting a lightning address allows anyone to zap you some #sats (bitcoin). An easy option for beginners to get a lightning address is the Wallet of Satoshi lightning app 😊

Once you've fixed your addresses, just post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll check them again for you! 👌 I'll also send you some sats ⚡️

Enjoy Nostr! 

 Welcome! I second the hashtag advice - great way to find folks and have your notes found by others, such as #foodstr #cooking and for any of your own creations, make up a hashtag that’s just you (#madebycheftommy or whatever) so folks interested that niche can see just those notes amidst all the other things you want to post. 

 Thanks @Rustypuppy ! I’ve been really happy with the hospitality here. 

 Great! It can be rough around the edges sometimes, and not all of the infrastructure is built out compared to those fancy corporate places, but it’s got lots of good folks. I’ve been here over a year and it’s improving all the time. 

 I’m glad to be apart of something #opensource ! I’ll take an ever evolving world over the fancy corporate places.
