Are you on a test version?

If you don’t have a lighting wallet you’ll need on first. I’ll suggest wallet of Satoshi as it’s the easiest.

Second you need to get your lighting address linked to damus.

You get your address from WOS and save it in your profile on damus.

Now you need to make sure to have the shortcuts app installed on your phone it’s an apple app.

After that go to

https://www.zapr.social/#/install

And follow the instructions.

If everything is set up right you should be able to zap now.

I hope this works for you.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Hi Kidwarp tried to do this I don’t know how to proceed.

Which one should I choose?

Yup that looks right.

You only need the top two.

Click the x

I am still loading the zapr to proceed but it is too slow. Maybe bec I am using apple phone?

When you tap double tap the back of your phone does this pop up?

No. It says loading

Can you take a pic?

Try this take the copy the note id from this post.

After you’ve copied the note id double tap the back of your phone.

What happens? Does zapr pop up?

No

Zapr is set up in shortcuts right?

And you’ve done this?

Yes

I copied the ID note1ujlfr64unhjahasfd3q3cvje0hpwxq465xg0fdmeg4ypj203mxdqg6cs7z

I followed your instruction. After copying the nite ID I went to settings tap accessibility -touch I choose double tap then choose always allow

Yes

When I press zap icon it is only loading until 33%

This since almost an hour already

Close everything. Open damus. Copy any note Id from our conversation.

Double tap on back of phone.

Let me know what happens.

Can I use this ID to zap you?

Yes

Ok so if this hasn’t worked now. I’m not sure what to try now.

I’m sorry.

Sorry disregard the other message there seems to be an issue with zapr at the moment.

It does happen from time to time.

But it should start working again.

Apologize for the inconvenience caused by this but unfortunately it’s out of my control.

So it appears that about 50% of random things I’ve tried to zap give me an error currently?

Might be an issue with wos?

You are a big help kidwarp. Really appreciate that. I retry to open the zapr shortcut from time to time until I succeed.

Not a problem at all. Sorry there seems to be quite a bit of issues at the moment.

Thank you so much.

Thanks Kidwarp. I have Satoshi wallet already.

Go into wos hit receive copy the @ wos

And paste that in Bitcoin lightning tips and save so we can zap you.

The 21sat was from you?

Yes

I will try to download testlight I may need more help from you to complete so that I can start zapping amd the 200sat that I promised.

You don’t need test flight for what I’ve explained.

I don’t use TestFlight.

You also need to put your lightning address (if you have one) in your profile. Edit your profile and put your lightning address where appropriate (sorry we're not familiar with Damus).

Thanks

This might help. 🤙

I have downloaded this then I was instructed to download Damus Beta. Is this the same as DAMUS. What is the difference. I did not proceed to download bec I am afraid they the same and might lost my current comm.

Well, they are the same app just different versions. And you can only have one installed at a time.

The beta version (1st screenshot) has more experimental features. It also has the ability to zap notes like this.

The App Store version (2nd screenshot) only has the ability to zap profiles if I’m not mistaken. This is a restriction imposed by Apple.

If you want to switch, make sure you have your nsec copied (i.e. backed up) before doing so.

Keep me posted and let me know how it goes. 🤙

Thanks

How to back up damus? I want to download damus beta as per your guidelines.

In order to get your nsec (aka “Secret Account Login Key”):

1. Go to your settings and tap “Keys”

2. Save your key wherever you feel is secure (e.g. a password manager like BitWarden)

Your nsec is basically your password that will let you log back into your account whenever you need to.

Like I mentioned earlier, you might not need to do anything. Just install the beta version and it should transition seamlessly. But better to be safe than sorry. 🤙

You zap me with 21sat?

Yes I did
