Hi Sovereign Individual, and welcome to #nostr! 🤓
I tried to ⚡️zap you some welcome sats (bitcoin), but you haven't set up a #lightning wallet for your profile yet 🥺 Doing so allows anyone to zap you some sats when they value your contribution, want to say "hi", or any other reason! The easiest option for beginners is to use the in-built wallet in the @YakiHonne app (link below). If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, a dedicated lightning wallet is also a good idea! Some nice options include the @Minibits, @Mysterious Hamster and @Wallet of Satoshi apps. Once you've got it sorted, be sure to post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll try to zap you again! If you need help, just ask 😊
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. Once you've set it up, just post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll check it again for you. If you like, I can give you one for free at "yourname@minestr.app". Just get in touch! 😊

Welcome to Nostr and Freedom!
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:
If on 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.
@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.
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:
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)
You may try as well https://coinos.io @Mysterious Hamster , rich with features and web based, 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. It does support ecash and recently started to support #Bolt12, just missing #Amber support to be my favorite (it would make it optional to be non custodial)
2. The curious one with not much technical expertise but eager to learn:
You have few options here to play that are interesting:
2.1. @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.
2.2. @eNuts ⚡️🌰 (eNuts Beta, mobile app, the app is clean and with cool themes, has a message tab, for you to check your private messages, supports #LN and #Cashu, no #Bolt11 support, it is beta, don't play with more than you are willing to lose)
2.3 http://sovereign.app (mobile app. You get free your own address with #Bolt11 support, yourname@svrgn.app), I expect this app to keep evolving, perhaps with support of #Bolt12 as well, I follow it closely since it looks quite promising. Is an app in development, use at your own risk and don't play with more than you are willing to lose...
Three good options to play and learn, all support #Cashu and #LN⚡, start learning about #Cashu, IMO a game changer for small payments. Sovereign app offers novelty features I consider a must have, wait until you learn about CLANs and the way sovereign does the recoveries, mind blowing...
3. The tech savvy
3.1 GetAlby running AlbyHub (a bit pricey unless you do all yourself, not my cup of tea, but people in the community loves them)
3.2 Sovereign running your own mint with your own Clan (mind blowing as I wrote above) It is beta, don't play with more sats than those you are okay losing...
3.3 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)
3.4 nuts.cash - same as above, just not an option to buy an address, meaning no #Bolt11 support
Last but not least:
If you are on iOS:
...Why?... never mind...
Enjoy Nostr!
