I've asked this before, but I haven't really got the answer:

When I go to zap a note on #Amethyst, I am redirected to Strike. How do I change this to a different wallet?

I have added coinos to my profile (you can see it there), but Amethyst does not direct me to Coinos when I want to zap someone's note.

Any ideas?

The external wallet that is used is configured in your mobile phone. #Amethyst doesn't decide what external wallet should be used.

You have configured coinos as your lightning wallet for incoming zaps. It's completely unrelated to what wallet you use to zap with.

Best experience is when you use a wallet that supports nostr wallet connect (nwc). The you can so one click zaps from within amethyst without leaving the app.

This can be configured in amethyst.

Thanks for responding, and for the info regarding nwc. I think I get what you're saying. I'll keep trying. I guess I need to figure how to tell my phone to default to Coinos, rather than Strike.

While I have you here, I found an area in my Coinos account that let's me reveal my NWC and copy it. Unfortunately, I dont understand what it's for, or how I would use it. Any suggestions?

That's great news if coinos supports nwc.

You can add an nwc wallet in amethyst by holding down the zap button.

Look for Wallet Connect Service.

Watch out, one click zaps are very satisfying and will drain your lightning wallet πŸ˜‚

I was just posting another note about this when I saw your response. I think I have everything configured. I just need to send some BTC to my wallet to test it.

I have Coinos linked to alby, and alby connected to Amethyst via the Wallet Connect Service. I will zap you when I have some funds. I'm a little nervous that it isn't going to work on first try. We'll see soon enough.

You've been zapped

It worked! Hold on. I'll zap it right back!

... once you have configured an nwc wallet in amethyst you will zap from inside amathyst without having to leave an external wallet app.
