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.
