For users joining #nostr they need a Lightning address to receive zaps. This is currently only possible with either a custodial wallet or a complicated process that involves running your own node and a webserver.

We encourage new users to learn about different wallet types. Since Lightning is nearly free to use, sats can be sent from WoS to a better long-term self-custody solution. We recommend Phoenix and Breez over Muun based on how they function.

The Lightning ecosystem wasn’t prepared for the sudden surge in usage and developers are playing catch-up. We’re keeping a close eye on new products such as #[0] and others that are building new tools for self-custodial Lightning.

Thanks for all you do, #[1] 🧡
