I connected to it on snort without any issues.
Sounds good. I'd love to help you test.
Yea, that's gonna be a no from me.
Man, I was, and still am completely bummed out by his untimely death.
When politicians feel the need to tell you how safe the Banking system is, you know it's in serious trouble.
Bitcoin is the only 'crypto' that isn't trying to steal your Bitcoin.
twitter is noise, nostr is signal
Thanks. I'm looking forward to Iris releasing the app version that I've heard talk about. I love the web client.
I absolutely loved your interview with Lionel Shriver on Citadel Dispatch! Best podcast of the year so far, imho. I hope you're able to have her on again.
Just crossed 500 followers.
I appreciate all of you!
# ⚡️ 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/)

ANIMATED GIF GUIDE for DESKTOP (Just how I did it)
Use DaVinci Resolve (or any video editing software will do, but DaVinci is the best and its free) and edit a short few second video in 1:1 format in high resolution ex. 960x960 px.
Export as MP4, 480x480 px (standard size used in Giphy).
Upload to https://ezgif.com/optimize to compress the size (Try to keep file size small 1mb-3mb.)
Upload to https://giphy.com or similar image hosting service
I was wondering about this earlier today. Thanks!
