Why Nostr? What is Njump?

123vier on Nostr: #[0]

Since Wallet of Satoshi has gone down a few times & I saw people asking, I felt it would be good to have a dedicated thread on options for a **receiving** [[LNURL]] address. Save this thread and add others in the comments if you have one not listed.

So in the past 2 weeks I’ve cycled through connecting each of these to #Nostr:
- [Alby](https://getalby.com/)
- Great LN wallet and extension, has custodial option plus can connect numerous other noncustodial to it. Can use to login to LNAUTH websites as well as with your Nostr keys to protect from copy/pasting (honestly it's a need-to-have for Nostr until everyone else integrates the Nostr sign in). Easy & cheap to withdraw
- [Wallet of Satoshi](https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/)
- Custodial, very fast adoption of Nostr and zaps. Just always seems to work and has been reliable for me for years... (until you Zap⚡️Junkies broke them). Easy to withdraw but has much higher fees on bigger payments - I think there's a set percentage.
- [Zebedee](https://zbd.gg/)
- Works great! BUT it freaking emailed me for every zap. It says I can easily change the settings but i searched through the whole menu and got 2 more emails *while* I was looking for how to turn it off and just immediately disconnected it 🤣 — if you can figure that out it seems great otherwise (but custodial). Easy & cheap to withdraw
- [BtcPayServer](https://btcpayserver.org/)
- Setup is a lot more involved & requires you to connect your own web domain, but it's incredibly valuable to have. I use BtcPay for all sorts of crap and it's insanely valuable despite a less intuitive interface when you first get into it. Non-custodial, you hold the keys.
- [Fountain App](https://fountain.fm/)
- Podcasting app, custodial Lightning. Easy and instant setup basically, LNURL is right in your profile. Only headache with them is fixed sized withdraws. Most you can do in any invoice is 200k at a time. Great way to get a fast LNURL though.
- [LN.tips](https://t.me/LightningTipBot)
- My current zap LNURL source. Run by @callebtc, it connects to the (custodial) LightningTipBot on Telegram, so it gives you all your zaps in a scrolling Telegram chat feed. Honestly I just like the interface for viewing zaps more than anything. Easy to withdraw to any non-custodial.

Wallets I've used that support *sending* to LNURL but don't seem to have support for an address of your own:

- [Phoenix Wallet](https://phoenix.acinq.co/)
- [Breez](https://breez.technology/mobile/)
- going to have a big overhaul soon, I'd keep an eye out
- [Blixt Wallet](https://blixtwallet.github.io/features)

------------

Other wallets that have LNURL support of various kinds (send/receive/both) that I have on my list to test eventually:

- [LNpay](lnpay.co)
- Looks like yoy can send and receive via LNURL – I use this for a lot of other stuff, it's a custodial and/or non-custodial wallet manager with API (kind of like an LNbits as a service to connect to your other apps). Great for webhooks, connecting to code on a website, etc. Looks like you can use own domain for LNURL (though I haven't done it yet).
- [Bottlepay](https://bottlepay.com/)
- [Lifpay](https://www.lifpay.me/en/)
- (don't know much but looks interesting)
- [Balance of Satoshis](https://github.com/alexbosworth/balanceofsatoshis)
- install it on your LND node instance like btcpay, voltage, umbrel, etc. Here it's really useful but haven't gotten time to fully explore.
- [Bitcoin Beach Wallet](https://www.bbw.sv/)
- custodial but will give user an LNURL
- [Simple Bitcoin Wallet](https://sbw.app/)
- [Clams](https://app.clams.tech/welcome)
- Looks like an LNlink sort of app for Core-Lightning. Both are about controlling your LN node *over* the Lightning network, so its direct comms using "empty" payments over other LN nodes.
- [Machankura](https://8333.mobi/)
- Blowing up in Africa from what i read, send directly to phone number or LNURL. Custodial.

.....

I'm sure there are others but these are teh ones I have saved in an ongoing note and what I've had more hands on experience with. Hope this is helpful. 🙏
