    Know the following.

    Your public, private key. How to login with your private key. (More than one way to do this) how to search by someone else’s private key. Most clients will generate one for you if you don’t have one.

    Your list of relays. You need relays in common with other people you want to talk to. Try adding new relays.

    How to try different clients. Checkout a good starter list here nostr.how/en/clients

    Another someone important one is your nip 05 identifier. Basically a way to tie your public key to a username@domainname. You can change it later. But do make one so people can recognize you.

      You can generate your own private key in linux with,

      openssl rand -hex 32
      

      It’s that simple.
