I see you got help with your lightning address, but this screenshot was showing your NIP-05 address.

In your settings you will find fields for both. The “bitcoin lightning tips” one is for your zaps. The “nostr address” is your nip-05 address, used to provide some proof of your identity. You can do this with any website domain, but since setting this up on your own website requires some skills, services like Alby and Primal let you use their domain to verify who you are. This is actually making me realize that we need an easy way for non technical people to setup nip-05 in their own website/domain.

And btw, the point of all this is to make it easier to distinguish your profile from a fake one, without needing to compare npubs, and to prove that you are associated with a certain website.
