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.
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 " - 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:
