CashApp won’t work because it doesn’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 it’s an address that begins with “LNURL” 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 can’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

That’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 – so putting that address in NIP-05 won’t do anything. It’s a totally different function. That’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]​ runs https://nostrplebs.com – 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 it’s running on a webserver. Its function is to instruct the node (yours is the #[2]​ 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.
