#nostrnewb here! 🙋🏼‍♀️

I’m unfamiliar with bitcoin lingo, relays etc, so I’ve got a LOT to learn. I’m not very tech savvy (even though I’m only 27, so I probably should be 😆) and have only ever used mainstream social media platforms like #tiktok #instagram #facebook #discord #twitter (or #x now). I have a few questions for the #nostr community:

1. What are zaps?
2. How do I find different relays and what relays would y’all suggest?

Think of nostr as like passing notes in school. Relays are the ppl sitting at the desks in between who "pass it on". My suggestion is use the nostr.wine relay. It's a paid relay (you have to pay to use it) but it will connect with other relays so it's like an all in one solution. Instead of connect...

Simplify language. Think of zaps as tips. Nostriches tip or pay for content. For example, if I come across a meme that makes me laugh, I zap the person cause it’s a great way to start the day. A zap is a bitcoin payment through the lightning network. You will need to link a lightning wallet such...

Welcome and enjoy

Think of a zap as a like, but with real value as it uses lightning to send others real bitcoin... Some people zap a little and some zap a lot.

Zaps are Bitcoin Lightning payments. You'll need a Lightning Wallet to send or receive Zaps on nostr. Wallet of Satoshi is probably your best bet for a newbie friendly wallet everywhere except the US. If you're in the US you should use GetAlby or Strike. GetAlby has a waiting list, but Strike h...

One thing that's hard for new users is nsec security - your nsec private key IS YOUR IDENTITY - no username/password combo, and no central authority to reset your password if you lose it or if somebody else gains access to it. Protect your nsec key at all costs. To avoid typing it into every new w...

1) Zaps are Nostr aware bitcoin payments, allowing you to tip, donate, get paid, and pay others for their content that you find valuable. Zaps have real world value. Zaps are better than likes. Likes ar hollow. Zaps for content are our super power here on Nostr. 2) I personally recommend to use a l...

1) zaps are payments we sent to each other. It uses bitcoin lightning that's were the term comes from, the unit is sats, so you can say I zapped 21 sats. You need a Lightning wallet that has an lnaddress, it's like an email address, then you can put that address in you profile, there is a field for ...

Welcome Zoë! Lots to learn here, but hopefully the experience is seamless enough for any user. Looking back, it gets significantly better every few months. The mute/block functions can be helpful as well 🙂

Zaps are lightning payments which are bitcoin. Pretty mind-blowing!
