Setup your profile: Add your username, display name, and bio information. (Duh!)

Images: You'll need your profile picture and banner. Some clients allow you to upload these directly in the client. Others require you to upload elsewhere and copy the link. You can upload images to https://void.cat, https://nostr.build, and other locations.

You can register an ID at https://nostrplebs.com but many other providers do exist. You can also set one up yourself with your own domain.

Lightning: Enter your LNURL reusable invoice address or LN Address here. This also looks like an email address. i.e. [email protected] You can also get one from https://stacker.news, https://strike.army, and many other providers. This allows you to send and receive Lightning tips or Zaps.
