Ok. Nothing comes easy, but setting up lightning based sends and recieves in #Amethyst has been pretty hard for me, and I'm not sure I've done it right... I am looking for some basic guidance/reassurance about the set up process.
Let me explain what I've done:
I made a #coinos account, mostly because I saw someone else had it on their profile and seemed to be using it successfully. Coinos is a nostr client/wallet that supports lightning transactions and nwc.
Anyway, through a series of trials and errors, I finally connected my coinos account to my Amethyst profile by entering my coinos address, micahcmiracle@coinos.io, into the field labeled, "LN Address" in Amethyst's profile settings.
Yay... my coinos address now shows up on my profile page next to the zap icon ⚡️
I also spent time configuring my Coinos account. I entered my nsec in coinos, and set up the client as best I could... hopefully, with all this done, I can recieve zaps now, though I haven't recieved any yet, so I don't really know.
Next I copied my nwc from within coinos and set up an #alby account in hopes of having an integrated way of zapping notes natively within Amethyst.
I entered my nwc from coinos into alby and successfully linked my wallet. Alby says my wallet is linked and generated its own address for me, which I updated to micahcmiracle@getalby.com ...
Finally, from within Amethyst, I connected alby via an automated process via the Wallet Connect Service. This service automatically populated a Wallet Connect pub key, relay and secret.
Does this seem right? I haven't added funds to my Coinos wallet yet, but when I do, I'm hoping I can zap my first note natively within Amethyst via my alby account. I am also hoping that others can zap my notes and they will go into my Coinos wallet.
Please share your thoughts. I am not a dev or technical user. I hope that if and when I get this right, I can help other normies get set up in the future.
