I finally entered the world of nostr.
It took longer to get going than I expected it to, but being thorough is what this is all about. Ensuring that I'm setting things up as I want them. Knowing why things are set up as they are. Understanding the terminology and why it's used.
I can't lie, it's frustrating at times. The old paradigm makes this much easier, but it's at the expense of your freedom.
So, anyway... I had a goal of at least having the basics set up for nostr, and I did it.
There was a slight derailment into posts about inheritance by @kepford (#169107) and @grayruby (#169018) which sort of blew my mind. I'll have to touch on that later.
but also this helpful guide by @btcsessions -
Other excellent resources that I'll be going back to -
The most challenging concepts/processes for me were -
-The Lightning Address
-The Lightning Wallet
-The NIP-05 Verification
-How to actually set up your profile in a nostr social media client
These details were not easy to understand for me (and I'm still only grasping them at the basic level,) but with the help of these resources, and actually doing the work, I was able to start putting the pieces together.
Any suggestions for improvement, I'm all ears (or eyes, in this case.)
Now I have another goal in mind. As I've started exploring Primal, questions surrounding the concept of private vs. public persona are top of mind, but I'll leave that subject for another post.
