We have zaps. Nostr solved this.
But most of the creators we follow still live on X, Substack, YouTube, and elsewhere, and tipping on those platforms is either broken, custodial, or buried behind yet another subscription nobody asked for.
So I built TipBits.
tipbits.xyz — a sovereign Lightning tip page for creators. You register once with your Lightning address. You get a personal page at tipbits.xyz/u/yourname. Drop the link anywhere your audience finds you. Tippers visit, pick an amount in sats, GBP, USD, or EUR, and pay. Sats go peer-to-peer, straight to your wallet.
TipBits never touches the money. No custody. No KYC. No email. No password. No platform fee. Free forever.
It uses LNURL-pay, the same open standard that makes zaps work. No vendor lock-in. Works with any Lightning wallet.
I'm a lone developer and I shipped v1 yesterday. It's live, it works, real sats have landed. But it's early days and the Nostr community gives the most honest, most useful feedback of anywhere on the internet.
If you try it, break it, love it, hate it, or have ideas, reply here. Seriously. I'm building this in the open and I want to hear it.
My own page if you want to test it: tipbits.xyz/u/meridian
And if TipBits is useful to you, the value-for-value tip page is at tipbits.xyz/tip ⚡
