 I tried adding my wallet and it wouldn’t let me sign up says it’s not accepting currently 😕 idk if I can do it now lol 
 You need to add a LNURL - a lightning network URL. Only some bitcoin lightning wallets offer this. 
 I have no clue how to even do that can you explain alittle more in depth 👀😂 
 Probably the simplest way to get a LNURL and both receive and send zaps (which are basically bitcoin lightning “tips”) is to use the @primal client iOS app. It comes with a built-in lightning wallet and will give you a LNURL (which will look like an email address). Primal will ask for personal info when you first use it but you can use fake info (although use an email you can at least access). If you don’t mind using a custodial lightning wallet (i.e. one where you should only keep a small amount of Satoshi’s because, like a bank, they control the wallet, not you) then research @Alby and @Wallet of Satoshi (I don’t think the latter is available to new users in the US any more). Either should give you a LNURL address which you can add to your nostr client. There are alternatives (running your own lightning node, and self-custody wallets like @OpenSecret etc) but I am not very technical and these require that you allocate quite a lot of sats in order to open lightning channels. Hopefully others here can also help you and offer other suggestions too #askNostr 
 Thank you appreciate your help still confused 😂 but I’ll try my best they make this harder than I thought 
 At the end of the day this is for zaps. You can still post notes and engage with everyone here as you learn.
