Can anybody help me please? I’m new on nostr and I’m using this social relays more and more those days. I just received some zaps but I don’t have the wallet connected so my question is, where that zaps go? I just connected the getalby wallet but the zaps doesn’t appear in the transactions. Thank you in advance #asknostr

yes, you have few options, the easiest one is to install 0xxhat and go to the wallet, not the best one... the best one will be to go in your browser, ideally mulvad browser if on mobile which allows you to add extensions. add the extension nos2x-fox. open the extension, go to options and add your nsec, once that is done you can login into your wallet from the browser go to click on wallet and select NIP-07, if your nos2x-fox extension was configured correctly you will see your balance and now you can withdraw to Minibits or Coinos, npub.cash is a pure cashu wallet, to withdraw to lighting you need to move your ecash to another wallet that manages both. have fun!

sorry, first time I saw your profile I saw you have a npub.cash adresa, now I see alby.... if you received the sats in the previous address you won't see then in Alby, and I would not recommend Alby unless you are advanced in LN and you want to pay monthly for their service and manage your channels balancing the wallet, annoying and inefficient, not my favorite option if you are newbs, best use coinos.io, is awesome and you can use it privately non custodial. for a mobile app that works well you have @Minibits
#### Welcome to Nostr ! #### ***Here few tips to get you started !*** image ##### Whom to follow: ##### Follow topics using hastags, a good way to find your tribe ##### Nostr Clients: ##### for Android: @Amethyst is an excellent choice, feature rich, supports privacy, tiktok like feeds, excellent look and feel, it is ahead of most clients by far. For Android and iOS: @0xchat is a good alternative, more like Telegram. The UI is complex, but you may like it! For iOS only: @Damus (users talk positive about this client, give it a try) #### Wallets: #### Depends, here few interesting options: 1. You are fine with custodial wallets (your money...): Go for Wallet of Satoshi (https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/), get the app, add the address to your profile, it does not have NWC, but you really don't need it. (doesn't work in USA, unless you use a VPN) 2. The impatient with no time looking for the most complete web based non custodial web wallet: @Mysterious Hamster, https://coinos.io, rich with features, you can receive emails every time you are zapped as well!. Very cool wallet, the dev team rocks, they are doing the good work creating more Bitcoin awareness and helping businesses to accept it. 3. Hands down the best in town Mobile App: @Minibits (you can buy a vanity address like yourname@minibits.cash BOLT11), the app is user friendly and the devs are active in the Nostr community. 4. For the tech savvy and the ones that put the time to do it right: - get your vanity address name@npub.cash or use your npub by default and use it as your wallet address to receive anonymous & private LN payments and Cashu payments. ##### Check my nostr site: ##### https://rod.npub.pro You can get your own site for free as give it a try, start writing! visit npub . pro Check my substack, subscribe to my free content: ##### Last but not least: ##### ***Enjoy Nostr!***
Welcome! Few things you should know: 1. get a check mark in #Nostr, there are few options, I suggest nostrcheck.me, once you get it, edit your profile and update your Nostr-Address, not having it will hide you in some clients 2. follow hashtags, a good way to find like minded people 3. think of your nsec as your Bitcoin private keys, act accordingly 4. chose a client that respect your privacy, meaning, you can sign in with a Signer protecting your nsec, it has TOR built in and above all, you can manage the relays you use. I suggest @Amethyst t 5. add your lighting address in the profile so you can get zap, few options out there, I suggest @Mysterious Hamster for most people have fun!
It's a instagram-like client for nostr. I recall they have a slightly different payment system which might have explained why you were seeing incoming zaps and nothing in your wallet. Inconsistent standards will always be painful. That said, I saw below that you used to have a different address @npub.cash so maybe your zaps are there. If you think funds are going to the wrong place, make a small change to your profile and republish. That should help everyone get your latest details hopefully.
