My dad made me log in to Stacker News because he wanted me to have an experience of what it's like to be a Bitcoiner.
What it was like
I expected there to be a big button at the top that says
Sign in
.Or maybe it was going to be at the bottom.
After scrolling up and down a few times I did not see one.
I clicked the
more
button once and scrolled to the bottom again. Still no sign in button. So I scrolled back to the top to make sure I hadn't missed it.Then I searched for sign-in by clicking on the magnifying glass. This didn't work either.
So then my dad gave me a hint and told me to click on the
@anon
. I didn't click on this at first because I thought it was a logo or something.It gave me a few options. I don't have an email address so I decided to click on
Sign up with Lightning
even though I had no clue what it would do. I was just expecting it to give me a new page and then hopefully I would figure something out to progress.So then I was able to edit my name and my picture. And I wrote my bio. When I clicked save, something popped up that said I needed a wallet. I didn't have one.
Attaching a wallet
I clicked on a thing that said attach wallets or something and it gave me a bunch of choices. And I decided to use Blitz Wallet. So then I had to download and install Blitz Wallet and set up a wallet there.
Inside Blitz Wallet I had to figure out how to get it to give me a lightning address. I finally found where I could put in my name and did it.
I went back to Stacker News and clicked the Blitz Wallet logo but nothing happened. Then I tried clicking
attach wallet
below that and it worked! It let me type in my lightning address.Then it showed me a screen that had something about 10000 sats or withdrawal limits and I didn't understand it so I just clicked
save
.Posting my bio
After all that, I posted bio. Someone zapped me and said hi. But the sats didn't show up in my wallet. Even though I saw a number next my name at the top of the screen here, my wallet balance stayed zero.
Then I clicked on the bell with the red dot and it said I stacked CCs. I didn't know what CCs were but my dad told me they were
cowboy credits
. He told me to check my wallet logs to see why my wallet wasn't working. This was confusing. There were several warnings that saidfailed to wrap invoice: Unable to estimate route: FAILURE_REASON_NO_ROUTE
I am done writing now.
