I feel like a boomer still tipping. Will figure out this zap thing soon ⚡
Discussion
Which client are you using?
Iris and Amethyst mostly
I use them both too. Iris do not support zaps counter. Amethyst have hard-coded 1k Sats under tip button.
Zapped you! Do I need a zap compatible wallet? I keep hearing Strike, but doesn't it convert incoming sats to fiat?
Yes, you need wallet with NIP-57 compatibility. I've had it setup via Wallet of Satoshi but it is globally broken currently. I've set myself LightningTipBot and I do not see zaps now. Maybe I am not the perfect source of information. 🫠
Looks like MrShroom answered some questions already. Zap (NIP-57) support is coming along. Your client AND your receiving wallet have to both support it. I believe Iris does, and I know Amethyst does but like MrShroom said you can’t change the default amount you send currently. The other side of it is your receiving wallet. Wallet of Satoshi is one of the easiest wallets to use with Nostr and they’re starting to roll out support. My personal favorite is LN.tips (lightning tip bot) and it has NIP-57 support as well now. A few others are out there but these are my personal favorites. Alby may be announcing support this week. We’ll see. If so that’s another good one.
I'm not able to setup LightningTipBot with nostr. Looks like /nostr conmand is not working. I've linked it into bluewallet to zap people and I am able to send and receive tips but NIP-57 doesn't work. Any tips?
There's a /nostr command?
Inside LN tip bot there is /advanced command and there is /nostr but seems to not work.
this: #[5]
Just type the command and send it. You won’t see it in the list of suggested commands as your typing it but it works. You’ll get a confirmation message back after you send it
Looks like the command is /nostr add [npub]
Yes. Sorry I thought that was already specified but absolutely correct. Don’t forget the word add and don’t put brackets around the npub. Probably obvious to you but I’ve been asked that multiple times so just for anyone else who comes across this 😂🤙
Not sure about tipping here yet, and I am a big tipper. It seems everywhere I turn people are asking for tips for handing me a Coke. Not cool.
