Bitcoin-Backpacker on nostr

I arrived on Nostr 24 hours ago after rejecting Threads. Only just noticed Zaps — just waiting for it to flow my way, haha. Nostr 'just works', I like it.

Im new here, as of 5 posts ago, i still use Twitter and all but am really liking this. I can see myself using this permanently in the near future. Im still trying to figure out if my currrent Wallet blockstream (Green wallet) has a lightning address... Or can i use a basic address?

Welcome fellow virtual pioneer. It has to be Lightning.

Green will have lightning support soon, but not yet. To easily get a lightning address use a custodial lightning wallet like Blink and withdrawal to your own on chain wallet from time to time. Once you feel comfortable you can self host your lightning address too.

The advice I’ve seen led me to keep my cold storage, as lightning/zaps are connected to hot wallets (on all the time) so go with a dedicated zap wallets (I set up Alby and seem to work ok - yet to post/test much)

Great call, would love to use my Blockstream wallet. nostr:npub1qg8j6gdwpxlntlxlkew7eu283wzx7hmj32esch42hntdpqdgrslqv024kw I'm guessing you are onto this?
