Expand on why the book casually dismissed BTC and if she was writing it today would she do the same.
Great question, especially as it was written at sub $500 flat prices (<2016). Would it be a positive voption in the book post 2017 or 2021? 🤔
# ⚡️ Nostr zaps - a guide 💜
Time to get you zappin' with LightningTipBot (https://ln.tips). This is my personal setup. There are other ways and services to do this. Do you own research. This is just a suggestion.
## 1) Set up LightningTipBot wallet
- Click here: https://LN.tips 👈
- You're done.
## 2) Sending zaps
Let's start with sending. You don't need much. Any Lightning wallet will do. I will describe how to use LightningTipBot to zap with.
### Sending zaps in the browser
- Get the Alby brower extension at https://getalby.com/
- Go to LightningTipBot and enter "/link"
- Copy the details and go to Alby and add a new "LNDHUB" wallet
- Enter your details
- Your LightningTipBot wallet can now be controlled from your browser
- Click on the ⚡️ zap icon for example in iris.to and you'll be able to send zaps.
### Sending zaps on mobile
- You can also "/link" your wallet to BlueWallet
- Get BlueWallet from the App store
- Import a new Lightning wallet
- Enter your credentials from LightningTipBot
- You can now control your LightningTipBot wallet from Bluewallet
- Click the ⚡️ zap icon for example in Amethyst or Damus and open BlueWallet.
- Pay and zap on
## 3) Receiving zaps
You can receive zaps with pretty much any Lightning address provider. There are many options. See: https://lightningaddress.com/
However, if you want the zaps to appear under your posts in Damus or Snort.social, you'll have a few less options (still). Here is how to do it with LightningTipBot:
- Go to LightningTipBot. Enter "/help" if you don't know your Lightning address.
- See your address? Mine is callebtc@ln.tips
- Optional: Enter "/advanced" to get an anonymous address if you don't want to doxx your Telegram username.
- Put your Lightning address into your nostr profile
- In LightningTipBot, register your nostr pubkey with "/nostr add
- You're done! You'll receive zaps and they will be shown under your zapped posts!
## 3) NIP-57 support
Zaps (those which appear under a note) are formalized in NIP-57. Currently, they are supported by the following services. This is probably not a complete list and tomorrow there might be even more:
### 💜 Sending (Nostr clients):
- Snort.social (https://snort.social/)
- Damus (http://damus.io/)
### ⚡️ Receiving (Lightning wallets):
- LightningTipBot (https://LN.tips)
- VIDA (https://vida.live/)
- Stacker.news (https://stacker.news/)
- strike.army (https://strike.army/)

Set up your lightning address in your nostr profile Jeff, this is awesome and Zap worthy 😂
I did just send you a zap and you should see it under alby transactions, but only nip 57 wallets integrate with nostr..they show up under notes and profile.
I used this approach to set up. https://snort.social/e/note1c34vht0lu2qzrgr4az3u8jn5xl3fycr2gfpahkepthg7hzlqg26sr59amt
I used this Ben, thanks to Calle: https://damus.io/note1c34vht0lu2qzrgr4az3u8jn5xl3fycr2gfpahkepthg7hzlqg26sr59amt
Hopefully this link works but I used this approach: https://iris.to/post/note1e7z4vhecdzzn6z52h93v2hv5af48u9a9ypug3p8uhkf5mjdkzvxq3a2jln

Just tried Damus on my kid's old iphone I have as a spare. Wow. Love my Android S10 but can't wait for a similar app experience.
Yup indeed still the case.
I just Zapped myself... felt so good and wrong at the same time. 😁
Would like to zap you bruh. Set up your lightning address like through getalby or stacker news
