One of the things I’ve found frustrating with Nostr is that it isn’t always possible, for whatever reason, to connect your wallet to your Nostr client.

Especially with a desktop browser.

So I created this web zap tool.

https://www.nostrly.com/web-zap/

Simply enter the Note ID (nevent) of the note you wish to zap, select the amount to zap in sats and add an optional comment.

You’ll then be presented with a regular lightning invoice you can copy or scan into your wallet to pay.

Am rubbish at tagging... #bitcoin #nostr #zap #btc

Wallets and Nostr are not quite there yet... hopefully when every client makes it simple to connect a wallet and zap, the trenc will grow exponentially. I had to create my own web zap tool to zap on desktop!

I store mine in a secure note (Notes app). I also have Nos2X for Chrome / Nostore for Safari as my browser NIP-07 signers.

The mempool has fewer than 12,000 transaction in it. Usually there are around 200,000 unconfirmed. Not sure what to make of this... it is quite astonishing.

As I understand it, Bitcoin still remains a legal means of exchange but not as official money in the country - voluntary rather than compulsory.

Nostrly lightning redirection now falls back to Cashu eCash.

If a user doesn't have a Lightning Address set up in their Nostr profile, or they set their Nostrly address as the Lightning Address, Nostrly will redirect zaps to their npub.cash wallet automatically.

So zaps sent to a Nostrly address will ALWAYS find a LUD-16 callback, regardless of how the user has set up their Nostr profile.

It also means that privacy-minded Nostrlings can avoid broadcasting their actual LN address, and keep their zap receipts private.

That's because Cashu eCash is a Bitcoin bearer token (like a dollar bill). You can deposit your eCash sats back to a Lightning wallet any time, with no record of where it came from (like cash).

I've set my own profile LN address to field test it. Any zaps will turn into eCash tokens in my npub.cash wallet.

I was digging in to Cashu the other day. It's a pretty amazing concept, and I would love to see it integrated with BTCPay Server too.

I've added a Nostr public key converter to Nostrly. It lets you easily convert between the NPUB and HEX value of your public key.

I'd laugh so hard if DeepSeek was actually an elaborate hoax that secretly sends requests back to a boiler room of humans who then deliver the results using ChatGPT.
