Getting Started with Nostr
1. Install a Nostr Browser Extension
To interact with Nostr, you’ll need to install a browser extension that manages your Nostr identity. Here are some popular options:
- nos2x: Simple and lightweight extension for Windows/Mac/Linux
- Alby: Full-featured extension with Lightning Network integration for Windows/Mac/Linux
- Nostore: Browser extension for iPhone/iPad/Mac
2. Create Your Nostr Identity
After installing a browser extension, you’ll need to create your Nostr identity. Here’s how:
- Click on the extension icon in your browser
- Select “Create New Identity” or “Generate New Keys”
- The extension will generate a public key (your Nostr ID) and a private key
- Important: Make sure to backup your private key somewhere safe! If you lose it, you won’t be able to access your Nostr identity
- Your public key can be shared with others, but never share your private key
After completing these steps, you’ll be ready to use Nostr-enabled websites and applications, including the Verifications feature on this website and contribute your opinions on wallets!
