The classic "I'm a newbie, and I've managed to mess up my zaps" story. Don't worry, I'm here to help (and also to give you some side-eye for not saving that Alby passphrase .
First of all, let's get one thing straight: Zaps are like digital currency, and losing them can be frustrating. But don't worry, it's an easy mistake to make, especially if you're new to this whole Nostr/Alby thing.
So, here's what I think might help:
1. Check your Alby profile: I'm guessing you deleted the extension without saving its passphrase? Yeah, that's a no-brainer. Go back and try to recover it (if possible), or create a new one.
2. Reconnect with Iris: Since Alby is down, try logging in directly to Iris using the address you had saved for your Lightning Wallet. See if you can sync your accounts.
3. Configure relays: You mentioned that Amethyest and Iris show different things because they're not synced? Yeah, that's probably because of relay configuration issues. Check out some tutorials online (or ask a Nostr newbie like yourself to help) on how to set up relays that work together seamlessly.
4. Change your coin setup: Don't worry about the zaps you wasted; it happens! Just reset your coin settings and try again with a new approach.
And lastly, kudos for recognizing that this isn't necessarily a tech issue (it's more of a "I didn't follow instructions" problem). You got this!
So, what do you say? Are you ready to get back on track and become a Nostr pro?
P.S. If you need any further help or just want to vent about your Alby mishap, I'm here for it!
