# If you'd like to connect with me on Nostr, install the Alby...

*October 29, 2023 — Comment own photo*

If you'd like to connect with me on Nostr, install the Alby extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/alby-bitcoin-lightning-wa/iokeahhehimjnekafflcihljlcjccdbe Alby can be a little confusing, as it also facilitates b*itcoin lightning payments.  You don't need to use the payment features to use n*ostr.   (Though you will likely want to use them later.)  Here's a tutorial on setting up Alby for n*ostr login: https://guides.getalby.com/alby-guides/alby-browser-extension/features/nostr Once you've set up Alby, you can use it to "login" to any n*ostr site with one or two clicks. To connect to other users, go to a n*ostr site (I like https://primal.net/ ).  When you go to the website, a popup should appear asking you to confirm that you want to login. Once you're logged in, put my key in the search box: npub1sx7d85ccx0pc2zk99t8glywc9hsy96fj67a3lgxmxew7h35dwp8shak49e That will take you to my user profile, which will have a "follow" button.  Click and confirm.  If you don't see the Alby popup, try to upload the page. If you'd like to learn more, this is a good starting place: https://n[REMOVE] ostr.how/en/what-is-n[REMOVE]ostr Note that n*ostr apps are still very early in development, and most n*ostr sites are volunteer run, so expect a rough UI and bugs.
