Thank you!! 

 ❤️🤙 

 Ok, guess that makes sense. I'd have guessed a mobile node like phoenix would be pretty well-connected, but im still figuring out how it all works under the hood 

 Lyn wins.

 I'm only starting to fathom that the actual Lyn Alden is here meme-ing with everyone. Nostr is ridiculous ❤️ 

 Good evening, Lyn 🙂 

 I clicked "open in nostr clientx from mutiny and it switched over ti Amethyst with all the info auto-filled so that's a start! 

 But when I tried to zap ypu, M, it had an issue with ln.tips

Worked to zap Demon though it seems 

 Found! And zapped (i think)? 

 Next to "me" and "friends" go to "requests" then "create" 

 Thanks! Can't tell if it worked this time, did you get one? 

 He looks misunderstood 

 I dont blame ya 

 Ty!!! i got it 

 Recieved 🤭 

 Woohoo thank you! This is sick 

 Okay now how do i set up the wallet connection so that i can send zaps using the ⚡ button on posts?

This is the next endeavor...

 Did you recieve my zap as well? 

 Frustrating yes, still no channel 🙃 

 😞 

 Deal 🤝 

 Hey mine just showed up lol 

 Glad they returned at least. Lightning can be... funny... like that 

 Mine went thru! Only took 3 hours lol 

 Look fine to me, waddya mean? 

 Yay hahaha 

 That's a fair point. But which one (since Alby isn't taking new users, wallet of satoshi shut down, strike is KYC, and it looks like Primal.net needs me to make another new nostr account) lol 

 Trying to set up Mutiny for self custody lightning and a zappable profile. Am I missing anything? Happy to pay for the service because its already so smooth and sexy, but is this the only way to be a semi-self-sovereign nostr noob?

 If this is what Nostr is like, I'm staying. 

 Ahahaha well i was warned that you can't delete 

I think I like it better this way tbh

 Got a chuckle IRL for that one 

 Checks out 

 Thanks! Working on it ;) 

 I'm curious about this one. I love and appreciate the benefits of eating meat as a large percentage of one's diet, but I don't get the "veggies are bad" argument. Humans haven't evolved - physically - beyond a state where our diet consisted of meat, nuts, fruit, leaves/bark_ and vegetables. I DO completely see the toxicity of "meat substitutes" and all the nasty stuff they're preserved and cooked in. But if your food came from actual nature it's probably fine. Beyond beef? Definitely a shitcoin. But a carrot in your beef stew? Sounds pretty grounded and well balanced (also yum) to me 

 Thanks - will give it a watch 

 Sounds good. I typically go in skeptical-but-open-minded, so I appreciate the content 

 Why Obtanium instead of F-droid? Or are they for different use cases 

 Gotcha. So it sounds like f-droid may be more for those with a security preference of manual-only updates, and obtanium is more about permissionless access to the content that everyone gets, without needing to go through Google. Thanks! 

 Makes sense. Will spend more time looking at obtanium if there are way more choices 

 Thanks! Looks like i followed you already lol 

 Followed, thanks for the welcome :) 

 Cool I'll definitely check it out. If I log into coracle with this same profile will it remember/recognize all my account settings and stuff? 

 Thank you! 

 Cool, followed you! Will definitely try following hashtags, thanks 

 Followed :) 

 Sweet - does Coracle "ask" Amethyst for these details? Or do my relays store the info? 

 Okay got it. Thanks again! Once I'm more familiar with amethyst in general I'll check out coracle. Any other clients you would recommend? 

 Thank you for the recommendations! 

 I have a phoenix wallet but not seeing how to connect it... Looks like a lot of people use Alby but that's wait listed (and custodial). What do you guys recommend? 

 Is it safe to put my private key into Mutiny to set up a wallet that is automatically connected to my nostr account? 

 (I lean pretty hard to the full nym, self custodial, kyc-free approach whenever possible) 

 OK thanks - I've listened to a handful of interviews with Tony and Ben on CD & bitcoin.review and they don't seem like type to rug social media account handles lol

And mutiny the wallet is completely open source right? Not that I could review the code but presumably a handful of people here have 

 How do I identify a high quality federation? Does mutiny have an official/starter kit kind of thing? 

Perhaps a question for you, tony? 

 Lol sounds great

I'm looking at the "freedom one" federation which looks recommended by tony, Odell, Ben, and a couple of other familiar faces so let's go with that...  

 It also looks like a lightning address is only available to paid users, which I'm definitely gonna do but I would imagine is friction for new nostr users... Or is there another way to send and receive zaps using Mutiny without the paid test flight configuration? 

 Gotcha. I just tried to send about 1M SATs from Phoenix tonmynnew mutiny acct via lightning but it hasn't reflected any change. Is it waiting for a channel confirmation? If so, it would be good to indicate that to the user waiting for his funds to arrive ;) 

 Mutiny node connectivity issues? I feel like it's usually that when multiple users can't connect to a LSP sort of thing... Right? 

 I tried joining Freedom One, but have yet to receive the channel opening payment so I'm feeling less trusty, more verify-y at the moment 

 Working on that! Thank you :) 

 There was a button/CTA to join a recommended fed, this was second in the list. What if you go to the settings sidebar and click federations?
