 And phoenix is self custody so doesn't support it. Guess I could add a wos address.

 Yeah - you'll see 2 fields in Amethyst. Leave the depreciated field blank & the other needs an LN URL address.

I think in time bolt12 will replace lnurl but until then it's much easier just to use a custodial wallet like WoS or getAlby to receive zaps.

 Also amethyst says that lnurl is the outdated one.

 Yeah - that's the field that's no longer used.

The other field needs an lnurl address so that a new LN invoice can be fetched for the zap.

 Confusing, it says lnurl is outdated but wants an lnurl in the ln address field?

 Yeah. I'm pretty sure it was from 2 overlapping nips for recording lightning addresses.

Nostr has always used lnurl.
