Hope you address this take in the pod… I hear a lot more complaining about ordinals than I do discussion about the underlying issues that allow ordinals to exist. #[2]
As a human I see no issue with this. If you don’t want to abide by what seem like totally reasonable rules then fork the repository and run your own version?
I think you can also link alby for a browser interface, but I haven’t tried that
Using `/link` to use bluewallet as an interface works super well on mobile! And I think you have to add your npub in telegram for full functionality
# ⚡️ 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/)

More info that you wanted but some options listed at the bottom. I highly recommend trying out ln.tips. I do think all the options are custodial at this point. #[4]
Second question… anyone see issues with using the oracle free cloud tier for this? https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/post/launching-your-own-free-private-vpn-in-the-oracle-cloud
This would be great for small screen maxis like me
Tailscale is built on wireguard, right? Is this solution just as effective with Tailscale?
It’s a tough challenge. This tweet from #[7] is very relevant to the problem too as we think about keeping people through onboarding. https://twitter.com/anitaposch/status/1626567637575647233?s=46&t=u_05-74uc8hM1IgFMT64NA
Ahhh you’re trying to tally the total amount zapped to that person? I wasn’t understanding the reason to do that at first. I need to try to find a way to run amethyst to test it out
Huh, why does the profile cause more of an issue than the timeline? Just because zaps are highly concentrated on some users?
Seems like Damus already only displays zaps on a post after you click on it. Thought it was odd at first but it makes sense.
I’m at least not doing it in his threads and not tagging him. Hard not to bring up the ridiculous shit he’s pulled prioritizing his own posts in the last week
And also still haven’t learned to read my post twice before posting on nostr 💀
Just waiting for my the ban-hammer to hit me on Twitter as a continue talk about nostr and shitpost about Elon.
If using with Damus you should also install Zeus or bluewallet and set up with the command `/link` in ln.tips - that will let you more easily pay invoices from Damus

Nice. LightningTipBot is really cool too if you want more lightning functionality. Worth a look
That moment when you realize your nostr zap addiction can be funded by your podcast addiction if you use fountain #[0]
