# ⚡️ 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/)

- strike.army (https://strike.army/)
