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 😂

Use wallet of Satoshi

Is that self custody?

No.

But you can use it just with small amounts for sending and receiving zaps.

And use a a self custody wallet for any significant amount of sats.

Who wants to self custody’s $20

Self custody $5k+

Otherwise zap

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)

Set up an ally wallet, or Muun wallet. Then you should be good to go
