#Introductions
Greetings, I come in peace.
(I think that was her name anyways).
I am a multi faceted, neurodivergent 80 HDs fellow.
My interests run deep, as does my journey through the rabbit hole as I explore them.
My primary interests of day to day activity seem to revolve around health and wellness, philosophy, yoga, music, farming, exploration, etc..
I live off grid in a skoolie, with the best doggo and cat cat on the planet. They ride.
I am passionate about Truth.
I am adaptable, intuitive, and capable. My skill set is diverse and continues to develop and refine.
GROWTH.
I am a fan of unification.
I am peaceful and nonviolent, that is not to be confused with being harmless.
They say with great power comes great responsibility, I am still developing that responsibility; to be able to carry the weight of the elephant.
I seek to help you grow, as you help me grow, and we reciprocate and amplify; truth, love, integrity, kindness.
Thank you for welcoming me, and to each for doing their parts in collectively becoming the best we can be. I am excited and humbled.

bad jokes aside, I look forward to learning more, connecting, and sharing.
ps.. I love that this feels like a strong move towards quality over quantity, in various regards.

Welcome to #Nostr !
Suggestion to find whom to follow:
Follow topics using hastags, click on this hashtag: #_rockclimbing, and you will have the option to follow it if using the right mobile or web browser client. A good one to follow is #_introductions and #_askNostr (remove the space after the hastag, I added a space to avoid spamming the community)
Suggestion for Nostr Clients:
Exclusive for Android:
@Amethyst is an excellent choice, feature rich, supports privacy, tiktok like feeds, multi user, supports #Amber (more security), #TOR, private chats, excellent look and feel, it is ahead of most clients by far.
Working for Android and iOS:
@0xchat is a good alternative, more like Telegram, including chat groups, channels and voice and video calls, all encrypted e2e. It is powerful with privacy as well, it has secret chats and it supports Amber, #TOR in the settings "Use SOCKS proxy" (just install Orbot and in the settings be sure it allows background starts you don't need to have it running as VPN). It has a wallet built in and interesting features of its own.
Exclusive for iOS:
@Damus (users talk positive about this client,
give it a try)
Suggestion for Wallets:
Depends on your technical level and how much time are you willing to spend understanding and setting them up:
1. The impatient with no time to waste and who doesn't care to use custodial wallets (your money...):
Go for Wallet of Satoshi (https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/), add it to your profile, it doesn't have the NWC (network wallet connect) setup, but you really don't need it. When you try to zap someone, the wallet will open and the invoice will load, easy and setup free. You are set. (they don't work in USA, unless you use a VPN)
2. For the impatient with no time but looking to have a non custodial option plug and play.
The most complete web based non custodial wallet is definitely @Mysterious Hamster, https://coinos.io, rich with features, you can receive emails every time you are zapped too. Very cool wallet, the dev team rocks, they are doing the good work creating more Bitcoin awareness and helping businesses to accept it.
There is more... Coinos does support ecash, Bitcoin L1 (legacy, segwit and taproot), LNURL, #Bolt11, #Bolt12, LIQUID, and the cherry on top... now it supports signing in with a NIP-55 Signer like #Amber, Nostr Connect or Browser extension, you get as well a cool customize LNURL, like your username@coinos.io to receive your zaps from or SATs from wallets that support BOLT11 & BOLT12. What is not to love!
3. The curious one with not much technical expertise but eager to learn:
@Minibits (mobile app, you can buy from them your own address like yourname@minibits.cash BOLT11), the app is well polished, user friendly and the devs are hands on, responsive and active in the #Nostr community.
4. The tech savvy
4.1 GetAlby running AlbyHub (a bit pricey unless you do all yourself, not my cup of tea, but people in the community loves them)
4.2 npub.cash - get your npub followed by @npub.cash and use it as your wallet address to receive anonymous private #LN payments and #cashu payments. You can pay in the wallet web site for a custom address as well (cool)
