Nostr Web Client

What the hell are Zaps? Or what's the difference between Lightning tips and Zaps?

Simply put, Zaps are Nostr aware Lightning tips. They are integrated with Nostr in a way that allows the sats sent to be tallied and displayed on an individual user's note. Everyone can then see the value of that individual note. That is the key point.

If your Lightning wallet does not support Zaps, you can still send Lightning tips, they will just not be counted and displayed on Nostr. You can still send and receive sats! This is the whole point of Value for Value.

The only Lightning wallets that support Nostr integration (NIP-57) are the following:

strike.army

vida.page

stacker.news

bitcoin jungle

ln.tips (LightningTipBot)

Many others are working on adding support for this. This includes Wallet of Satoshi, BTCPay server, Bitcoin Beach, and probably many more.

Good to know. Thanks!

Do you have a personal favorite among the wallets listed?

I am using stacker.news. It isn't really so much as a favorite, I just used it because it was a service I already used.

And if you are using Current App then you will see Zap/sats per post like this

Dr.GAG 2y ago

Nice! How to know zap on my account working? 🤔 I set up a wallet LN adn follow some guides on net but I can be sure? It's It's enough the ⚡symbol under my posts?

BitBurn 2y ago

Thanks for this. I see now that GetAlby is only sending tips and not zaps.

Derek Ross 2y ago

you're welcome

🤝

i'm betting that they'll add it soon since they already support nostr with their extension for key signing.

Alby does not do this? I have strike setup and was going to use the strike army one you listed. But what do I need to put into my settings? The @ address or the LNURL?

If it is the @ address, why can’t I just keep my Alby set?

Derek Ross 2y ago

it would be your strike-id@strike.army. i would test to verify.

depending on your client, some clients want your LUD06 invoice address LNURL.... and some clients will take your LUD16 user@domain.com Lightning address. some take both.

Stonez ₿ 2y ago

So my Alby @ address would not work for this?
