CashApp wonโ€™t work because it doesnโ€™t support the Lightning Address format yet. Wallet of Satoshi is by far the easiest to onboard with.

You can also just get a receiving address from stacker.news or fountain.fm but tbh the best part of zaps on nostr is being able to send as well as receive.

it does:

Sorry I should have been clearer. Lightning Network is the network but there is a specific type of address called an LNURL that you need. In the wallets that support it itโ€™s an address that begins with โ€œLNURLโ€ or looks like an email address. CashApp and other wallets like Muun and Phoenix will only give you a one-time invoice that expires in a few hours and canโ€™t be paid by more than one person.

If you paste an invoice into a post on Damus or any Nostr client it shows up like this:

But what you want is the LNURL or Lightning Address that will look like this:

lnurl1dp68gurn8ghj7ampd3kx2ar0veekzar0wd5xjtnrdakj7tnhv4kxctttdehhwm30d3h82unvwqhkgmtw093sf8zsmg

or

dmnyc@walletofsatoshi.com

Thatโ€™s what you can put into your profile to receive an unlimited amount of zaps.

OK cool! You got one now:

Last step is to put that into your profile.

i put lnurl first then the second one in the field below, thanks for the tips!

is that correct?

OK โ€“ so putting that address in NIP-05 wonโ€™t do anything. Itโ€™s a totally different function. Thatโ€™s what gives you a purple checkmark. You need to get that from somewhere else, and even make your own if you own and host a domain name.

#[6]โ€‹ runs https://nostrplebs.com โ€“ one of the more popular identification services. But there are plenty of others.

ohhhhh

Essentially the email-looking address is just the human-readable form of the LNURL. It works because itโ€™s running on a webserver. Its function is to instruct the node (yours is the #[2]โ€‹ node) to generate a new invoice for the zap amount. Not all wallets support this feature yet.

Edit your profile and paste that where it says Lightning tips.
