# ⚡️ Nostr zaps - a guide 💜
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.
## 1) Set up LightningTipBot wallet
- Click here: https://LN.tips 👈
- You're done.
## 2) Sending zaps
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 callebtc@ln.tips
- 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:
### 💜 Sending (Nostr clients):
- Snort.social (https://snort.social/)
- Damus (http://damus.io/)
### ⚡️ Receiving (Lightning wallets):
- LightningTipBot (https://LN.tips)
- VIDA (https://vida.live/)
- Stacker.news (https://stacker.news/)
- strike.army (https://strike.army/)

Here is my not-so-complicated guide how we can get you zappin ⚡. You need a NIP-57 compatible Lightning address (I gotchu) and a nostr client (Damus Testflight, Amethyst, snort.social)
In short:

2) Enter "/link". Add the credentials to your Alby extension (LndHub) & connect it to BlueWallet for the best experience.

Stupid questions, where is the wallet file stored in this set up? In telegram folder locally? Or in local linked lightning wallet? How does one restore this wallet?
Can’t find this info in the /help
It a custodial wallet that is connected to your telegram account. That's all you need to access it.
What is the benefit to rolling a wallet in LN Tip Bot wallet in Telegram and linking it to Alby as opposed to just using a wallet already connected to Alby?Seems I could still tip you just fine but and I think I can be tipped as well. Is this simply to do with zaps not showing up properly on the posts?
worked with three clicks. there is still some air till oneclick-experience 😜
Thank you for this guide. I just finished setting up Telegram with a fake phone number, and it works great! ⚡️
