Nostr Web Client

What the hell are Zaps? Or what's the difference between Lightning tips and Zaps?

Simply put, Zaps are Nostr aware Lightning tips. They are integrated with Nostr in a way that allows the sats sent to be tallied and displayed on an individual user's note. Everyone can then see the value of that individual note. That is the key point.

If your Lightning wallet does not support Zaps, you can still send Lightning tips, they will just not be counted and displayed on Nostr. You can still send and receive sats! This is the whole point of Value for Value.

The only Lightning wallets that support Nostr integration (NIP-57) are the following:

strike.army

vida.page

stacker.news

bitcoin jungle

ln.tips (LightningTipBot)

Many others are working on adding support for this. This includes Wallet of Satoshi, BTCPay server, Bitcoin Beach, and probably many more.

Alby does not do this? I have strike setup and was going to use the strike army one you listed. But what do I need to put into my settings? The @ address or the LNURL?

If it is the @ address, why can’t I just keep my Alby set?

it would be your strike-id@strike.army. i would test to verify.

depending on your client, some clients want your LUD06 invoice address LNURL.... and some clients will take your LUD16 user@domain.com Lightning address. some take both.

So my Alby @ address would not work for this?

I tried setting up strike.army but it says “No profile found”
