 Cant zap you...  
 Hmmm I made some adjustments. I used your profile to cross check some things. 

Mind checking again for me? 
 Now its a different error: no_route  
 Super odd, when I click the zap it shows the  @Alby extension and allows me to send sats if I had any. Will continue to troubleshoot. Thanks for checking.  
 I connected alby to amethyst with the qr code... What client are you using? 
 I'm using Primal, I connected my pub key to alby and changed my Primal updated my lightning address to reflect alby's. Not sure what else to do. 
 You don’t need to use the same lightning wallet to send and receive zaps. 

@Alby is self-custodial meaning you have to open and manage your own lightning channels. They should have instructions on how to do that when you sign up. If you’re not ready for that yet, you can sign up for a custodial wallet that provides lightning addresses and set that lightning address on your profile. There are different options depending on where you’re located. I use Strike which is great, but there’s also no kyc options like @Coinos. You can only zap others using Alby when using the Primal web app, but at least you’ll be able to receive zaps to your custodial wallet. 

If you want to go the easiest route, use the Primal mobile app which has a built in wallet.
