 Since we have so many new Nostriches hatching over in #introductions, I felt it was time to share a list of Lightning wallets that support Zaps to help them with the on-boarding process.

First what are Zaps? Simply put, they are a value for value exchange or a way for you to send and receive money for your content.

You'll want to choose one of the Lightning wallets, websites, or apps below and then copy your Lightning address from that wallet into your Nostr profile. 

If you're a complete technical noob, then I will just suggest to use Primal. Primal has a built in wallet and makes it very simple and easy to user. Otherwise, you have a plethora of options below. Enjoy.

NIP-57 Zaps compatible wallets:

Strike.army (deprecated)
Vida.page
Stacker.news
Bitcoin Jungle
LightningTipBot (ln.tips)
Geyser
Bitcoin Beach (Blink)
Current (Client+Wallet)
Wallet of Satoshi
Zebedee
Alby
AnonSats
Strike
Primal (Client+iOS wallet)
Coinos
Machankura (8333.mobi)
vipsats.app
lifpay.me

Self Custody: 
BTCPay Server (your own domain)
nostdress (your own domain)
LNBits (your own domain)
Thunderhub (ghst.to)
Zeus (zeuspay.com) 
 oops. a slight correction since i last posted this. Primal supports Android in addition to iOS now. 
 I should also add npub.cash to this list. 
 Minibits is also a good copy and paste LN address for zaps 
 I need to check out minibits one of these days. 
 Been testing it here on Nostr and it works great! 
 Does that only work for receiving or you can send too? 
 Both! 
 Never mind I thought it was the same as npub.cash

 Will add to the list. I guess lnme now supports it too. 
 Mutiny?

 Getalby lnd

 Voltage.cloud 
 New here...I have absolutely NO clue,what Iam doing😁 
 Welcome! 🙏 
 welcome. the best tip i can give you is to interact and engage with everyone. if you have any questions, please ask. 
 Thank you 
 Don't worry, no one really does here  
 Hello new nostriches! 👋🏻

#introductions 
 🫂 
 🫂🤙💜 
 very good tip - a lot of custodial wallet geo-ip restrictions - hence choose best one suitable ur need  / travel #NIP-57 #wallet 
minibits.cash enuts on android doing fine so far
gocurrent.io 
 New here as well. Clueless but can learn. I'll make an introduction post later. I still have training wheels on. Appreciate the post and looking forward to participating as I learn. 😎👍 
 welcome. zaps are our most unique feature, allowing anyone and everyone to experience micro-payments or large subscriptions without having to ask anyone for permission or meet any threshold number. it's really cool. but nostr has so much more to offer than just zaps. check out all of the other cool stuff we're building over at https://nostrapps.com  
 I very much appreciate this. Thank you. 🙌 
 you're welcome. on a personal note. i read your bio. what games do you play? i only play overwatch now, but i played WoW for like 15 years 👀 also, many of my family members are in insurance too. 
 I've played Fortnite but my son is doing COD so haven't gamed much lately. WoW... haven't heard that in a while so I know we're close in what we consider hobbies. Lol

I'm in Louisiana and the insurance industry here is atrocious. The current legislative, March to June, is critical to Louisiana to help bring more carriers. Hope we get it done. If not, we miss the boat as next year is budget and taxes at the Capitol. 😬 
 I played Fortnite a few times with my son. I just couldn't get into the building aspect of it. Now all he plays is Roblox games, and my daughter too. 

 
 I hate building too 😂. I've played Roblox too. My son's interests in games moves too much for me to learn another game. Blox Fruit, if I have the name right, was fun.  
 FYI there is a Fortnite mode without building now. It’s pretty popular.
It’s funny because the game was originally supposed to be a co-op zombie defense building game and accidentally was a smashing competitive success. 
 Wait, I, too, just read your bio. From Louisiana? Insta follow. Kenner brah! 
 @miljan KILLED IT with the @primal app, for what it’s worth, I love it! 
 My top 2 choices

1. @primal: @miljan builds it sleeker than any other wallet.

2. @strike : enjoy other features, @jack mallers have skin in the game. 
 The GetAlby extension for Chrome and GetAlby's easy integration with NOSTR was the choice I made. I can't say I've tried any others. GetAlby was the first I heard about on BTC Sessions..  
 #introductions 

Welcome to Nostr!

I tried to zap (send #bitcoin) to some of you new sign ups but only 1 in 8 or so had LN addresses set up to receive.

Nostr has bitcoin payments integrated so instead of a like button you can send bitcoin to other users if you want to. Just hit the lightning icon on any post. If you don't see a lightning icon shout out and we'll figure it out.

Before you can send some bitcoin however you need to have some. If you contribute to conversations or add interesting content people will zap you for it. Or even just tell the community your running low and often times people will just zap you.

Here is a list of LN wallets and Node solutions you can use to set up payments.

 Is Primal KYC to setup lightning? They request name, DOB, state, and email when trying to activate. Nym gets rejected... 
 Be creative and use a throw away email service 
 hmm... alby has self custody, or do they collect data? 
 What about the catastrophe that happened with Wallet of Satoshi? Is it back up and working again?

 Any offer in wallet btc to lighting swaps? Or recommended approaches… 
 which of these in the list are custodial with a lightning address (LNURL as I understand it) so I can RECEIVE zaps? are the only options right now primal or alby? WoS no longer supported 
 The first section is all custodial. Only the bottom few under the self custody heading are self custodial. 
 Thanks, but I feel like I'm missing something...as I understand it to receive zaps you want or need a persistent lightning address, not an invoice that expires, and LNURL accomplishes this? But it seems the only custodial options (for a beginner here) are primal and alby, and both require personal information 
 Correct. Every single wallet included above has a Lightning address. 
 oh awesome thanks! I guess all the ones I tried so far don't have an LNURL (tried phoenix, blue wallet, muun)
