I have Phoenix. Is that ok?

Phoenix is the best self-custodial lightning wallet. So kudos. But for zaps you need your lightning node to be online all the time. The easiest way is to use a custodial service. You can set up a self hosted lightning node but that is hard mode. Custodial is ez mode.

I like alby. It will also store your nsec (private nostr key) in the browser extension so you don't have to paste it into each nostr web client, which is very insecure.

Phoenix can’t receive zaps. It’s great for storing sats on Lightning but you’ll still want to have a wallet that provides a LNURL/Lightning Address.

#[5] is the easiest all-in-one option.

I prefer #[6] + #[7] because it offers more functionality and it can even be used with your own node if you run one.

See #[5] actionable recommendations on getting a LN address nostr:note135atusdrylptmfw5ys0r92rl56swsth8v5va8zl8ag20khzds09sj6nquz

Once you set up your LN address successfully, you should see a ⚡️ icon on the bottom right of all your notes. This means that you can be zapped by other nostriches for the content you share here.

Unlike twitter, there is no middleman to take ad money that your content generates by way of views.

Let’s see you get the #zap!

This is great, and if we have to show this to new users in order for them to understand zapping it probably means onboarding remains an uphill battle

I wrote this after I saw a lot of so-called “professional” bitcoiners coming here and sticking on-chain addresses or invoices in their zap field. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yeah, it’s indicative of a rough onboarding. If the pros got it wrong, expectations for pre-coiners could be lower.

Maybe, but I’ve seen noobs come here and get it pretty quickly. It could just be a degree of curiosity and humility vs. the Dunning–Kruger effect.

🤔 great point

I use Alby. It’s also possible to connect it with your own node. Sadly they don’t have a mobile UI, but I connected it to Blue Wallet for that.

Wallet of Satoshi is the easiest imo. You can also use it only for receiving sats and some other wallet for storing & sending.

#[4] is the best mobile UI for #[5]

I hear they are working on their own mobile app now as well.

I tried connecting Alby with Zeus and it was slow af. Had the worst #zapathon ever that day 😅

Maybe it was configured wrong? It’s super fast for me. I also use Alby with one-tap zaps on #[6] and it works great.

Isn’t one-tap-zaps available only in testflight for now? I have only regular Damus

Yeah, hope it gets rolled out to the muggles soon.
