# ⚡️ Nostr zaps - a guide 💜 Time to get you zappin' with LightningTipBot (https://ln.tips). This is my personal setup. There are other ways and services to do this. Do you own research. This is just a suggestion. ## 1) Set up LightningTipBot wallet - Click here: https://LN.tips 👈 - You're done. ## 2) Sending zaps Let's start with sending. You don't need much. Any Lightning wallet will do. I will describe how to use LightningTipBot to zap with. ### Sending zaps in the browser - Get the Alby brower extension at https://getalby.com/ - Go to LightningTipBot and enter "/link" - Copy the details and go to Alby and add a new "LNDHUB" wallet - Enter your details - Your LightningTipBot wallet can now be controlled from your browser - Click on the ⚡️ zap icon for example in iris.to and you'll be able to send zaps. ### Sending zaps on mobile - You can also "/link" your wallet to BlueWallet - Get BlueWallet from the App store - Import a new Lightning wallet - Enter your credentials from LightningTipBot - You can now control your LightningTipBot wallet from Bluewallet - Click the ⚡️ zap icon for example in Amethyst or Damus and open BlueWallet. - Pay and zap on ## 3) Receiving zaps You can receive zaps with pretty much any Lightning address provider. There are many options. See: https://lightningaddress.com/ However, if you want the zaps to appear under your posts in Damus or Snort.social, you'll have a few less options (still). Here is how to do it with LightningTipBot: - Go to LightningTipBot. Enter "/help" if you don't know your Lightning address. - See your address? Mine is [email protected] - Optional: Enter "/advanced" to get an anonymous address if you don't want to doxx your Telegram username. - Put your Lightning address into your nostr profile - In LightningTipBot, register your nostr pubkey with "/nostr add <your_pubkey>" - You're done! You'll receive zaps and they will be shown under your zapped posts! ## 3) NIP-57 support Zaps (those which appear under a note) are formalized in NIP-57. Currently, they are supported by the following services. This is probably not a complete list and tomorrow there might be even more: ### 💜 Sending (Nostr clients): - Snort.social (https://snort.social/) - Damus (http://damus.io/) ### ⚡️ Receiving (Lightning wallets): - LightningTipBot (https://LN.tips) - VIDA (https://vida.live/) - Stacker.news (https://stacker.news/) - strike.army (https://strike.army/) ZAP ZAP ZAP
