Go to https://LN.tips in your browser. It redirects you to telegram. Once setup you can link it to BlueWallet, Zeus, or Alby if you like their interface. It uses your telegram username by default but also gives you an anonymous alias in the settings if you prefer that.

Guess you gotta have telegram for this one. Love the vibe of a sound alert though (like the pink floyd cash register one you mentioned the other day)
I imagine WoS and more will have this functionality soon. 🤙🏻
You need telegram to set it up. After that you can link the wallet to Zeus, Alby, or Zeus and use it from there if you want. Only get the notification sounds in telegram though.
Ah gotcha. Thanks. This is gonna get so wild.
💯🤣
I just set it up. Someone zap me 1 sat so I know it’s working! Please
Zapped
Ok so I see the balance in telegram but I guess I didn’t set it up correctly in Zeus. I’ve never used Zeus but I wanted to try it out.
Use BlueWallet, IMO it works better there. Although Zeus is amazing for controlling a node.
So my next question is, this is custodial correct? I’m just using the Zeus or BlueWallet interface to interact with the wallet?
Yes custodial. Maintain your balance accordingly.
Can people use ln.tips to find your number and name on telegram?
I have it set to not share my phone number already.
Depends on your telegram privacy settings. I setup a separate telegram for this for privacy. But you can also use the anonymous address LN.tips gives you. In your telegram thread type /advanced and at the top of the reply it will show you your anonymous address.
I use it BlueWallet when I need to scan a QR code. Works great. Otherwise I like the telegram interface. Maybe I’m weird 😅
