Many people recommend WalletOfSatoshi but it is bugged on my phone and only available via google play, so there's that google dependence there. If google starts requiring digital ID it may be inaccessible.

In WoS I can't send an email and the receive menu always freezes. Have reinstalled it many times. I use Blixt wallet instead which is great but I haven't found any option to set up an LN address there.

#[3] any advice?

lightningaddress.com is a pretty helpful resource

Thanks, yes I have used this resource before but I didn't find any zap-compatible LN address when I checked last time. I have an LN address but it can only be tipped, not zapped.

Hmm that’s weird. You should be able to receive zaps with any functional lightning address

Wait i just zapped you 😂😂😂

Thanks. I received a tip for 7 sats, but it isn't a zap since the zap counter doesn't show the zap.

Ok i see, you’re talking about NIP-57. What is the lightning address? (It doesn’t show in damus like some other clients)

This is just a temporary solution that works for tips. I have the Blixt wallet but haven't seen an LN address option there.

You need a wallet that has NIP-57 support. Idk about zebedee but #[7]’s LN tips bot is what I use.

Supposedly stacker.news works but i wasn’t having any luck with it when I tried.

There are others too but I don’t have a comprehensive list unfortunately

I will check that one out, thanks.

I’m going to interject here. Question for you. I’ve got WOS TestFlight and I’m zapping mfers like crazy. I’m seeing my zaps on their counters, but I don’t think they are?

I see it on some and not on others, no idea if they see it

Yeah. Okay. I thought I was going crazy.

We aren’t commenting on that, it’s still entirely possible

So what you’re saying is that if you have a nip, you can see my tip. Got it.

Didn’t think of it that way, but yes. 😂😂😂

Pretty sure if the zappEE has a NIP-57 wallet, then everyone sees it. If they don’t, no one does

Yeah, just set mine up and never saw them till I did

Hmmm still a zap. Is this one of those of a tree falls and no one is there to hear it does it make a sound type of things? 😂😂

Without the nip-57 it's technically a tip, not a zap.🙃

I wish we had a resource over NIP-57 LN addresses for apps hosted on Github. The google play dependency on many apps is a troubling trend.

If most of the NIP-57 LN address providers are google play only, and not on Github, and if notes become sorted by Zap counters in the future, then google play will have a great deal of power over the sorting mechanism by controlling the app download chokepoint.

Agreed and there probably are some resources in progress that i/we just don’t know about

Ln.tips isn’t an app, it’s through a telegram bot and you can use lndhub to export it to zeus or bluewallet too

But isn't there a Telegram dependency for that tip bot then?

Yeah. Any LN address will have dependencies, unless you have your own domain to host it at which is beyond my paygrade but perhaps #[6] can point you in the right direction in that regard

I just went through the process by #[8] for my lightning node and set up payments using a self hosted domain. NIP-57 not enabled (yet), but custody.

In case you want to set up your own and already have a domain etc.
