If you’re new and not sure how to set up lighting tips on your profile, you need Lighting Address or a LNURL, not a lightning invoice. Here’s the difference:

1) Lightning Address looks like an email address. For example, mine is corndalorian@ln.tips.

2) LNURL is a reusable code others can use to send you sats. You’ll recognize it because it begins with the letters “lnurl…” followed by a long string of characters.

3) Lightning invoices begin with “lnbc…” and are one time use ONLY. They also have an expiration. Don’t put these in your profile settings.

Here are a couple of my favorite wallets to use in your profile because of their support for Nostr features. They’re custodial so only keep small balances on them:

💜 Lightning Tip Bot ( https://LN.tips )

💜 Wallet of Satoshi

💜 Alby

Ask questions if you’re not sure how to use these. People here are eager to help you get things setup and will probably even send you a few sats to get you started.
