I arrived on Nostr 24 hours ago after rejecting Threads. Only just noticed Zaps — just waiting for it to flow my way, haha. Nostr 'just works', I like it.

You don't have a lightning address

Get one

Im new here, as of 5 posts ago, i still use Twitter and all but am really liking this. I can see myself using this permanently in the near future. Im still trying to figure out if my currrent Wallet blockstream (Green wallet) has a lightning address... Or can i use a basic address?

Welcome fellow virtual pioneer.

It has to be Lightning.

Thank you

Green will have lightning support soon, but not yet. To easily get a lightning address use a custodial lightning wallet like Blink and withdrawal to your own on chain wallet from time to time. Once you feel comfortable you can self host your lightning address too.

I hope soon I hate having tons of apps 😂

The advice I’ve seen led me to keep my cold storage, as lightning/zaps are connected to hot wallets (on all the time) so go with a dedicated zap wallets (I set up Alby and seem to work ok - yet to post/test much)

Great call, would love to use my Blockstream wallet. nostr:npub1qg8j6gdwpxlntlxlkew7eu283wzx7hmj32esch42hntdpqdgrslqv024kw I'm guessing you are onto this?
