- {
- q: 'DO I NEED BITCOIN TO USE THIS APP?',
- a: 'No! SkateSpots is 100% free. You can browse spots, add locations, find pros at The Lab, create events, and connect with the community without any Bitcoin. Zaps are optional for those who want to tip creators.'
- },
- {
- q: 'WHAT\'S AN NSEC AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?',
- a: 'Your nsec (secret key) is like a password that proves you own your account. Unlike regular passwords, there\'s no "forgot password" option. If you lose it, you lose your account forever. That\'s why you download a backup when you sign up.'
- },
- {
- q: 'IS THIS FREE?',
- a: 'Yes! Creating a Nostr account and using SkateSpots is 100% free. You only need Bitcoin if you want to send zaps (tips), and even then you can receive zaps without having any Bitcoin yourself.'
- },
- {
- q: 'WHY CAN\'T I RESET MY PASSWORD?',
- a: 'Nostr doesn\'t have passwords - it has cryptographic keys. This means no company (including us) can access your account, but it also means no one can reset it for you. Your nsec IS your account. Keep it safe!'

What is Nostr?
+
The protocol that powers SkateSpots
+
+
+
+ Nostr is an open protocol — like email, but for social apps. Your account is a cryptographic key pair that you own. No company can delete your spots, ban your account, or sell your data. Your identity works across every Nostr app.
+
+
+ {[

+
+
+
⚡ Zaps & Wallet
+ Optional
+
+
+ Zaps are Bitcoin tips you send directly to a skater who dropped a sick spot, filmed a banger clip, or ran a great session. No platform fee. No middleman. 100% goes to them.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Built-in Cashu wallet

Receive Lightning payments right in the app. No setup.

💡 $5 of Bitcoin = hundreds of zaps to spread across the community
+
+
+ {/* ── FAQ ── */}
+
+
Common questions
+
+
+ Nostr is an open protocol for decentralized apps — think of it like the internet itself, not owned by any company. Your SkateSpots account is a cryptographic key pair that you own. No one can delete your spots, ban your account, or hold your data hostage. Your identity also works on other Nostr apps like Primal, Damus, or Amethyst.>}
+ />
+ Your nsec is your private key — it's the only proof you own your account. Unlike passwords, there is no "forgot my password". If you lose your nsec, your account is gone forever. When you create an account, download your backup immediately and store it somewhere safe (password manager, written down offline).>}
+ />
+
+
On Android: Amber (best experience with the native app).
+
On iOS: Nostore or paste your nsec directly (less secure).
+
You can also log in by pasting your nsec directly — but using a signer extension is safer.
+

+ Yes! SkateSpots is a PWA (Progressive Web App). Visit skate-spots.org in your phone's browser and tap "Add to Home Screen" for a full app experience. Or download it from Zapstore — a decentralized app store.>}
