 What’s the best way to set up zaps for someone new to nostr?

In the USA 🇺🇸

 Thanks Jor!!! 
 I get an “invalid lightning address” when I try to zap you 
 It goes down a lot recently though  
 Download a lightning wallet and get an address. Then add it to your profile. Then people can zap you. You could also use a desktop lightning wallet if you're more of a desktop user. I think Mutiny of Alby will work 🤝 
 Minibits wallet. Already comes with lnaddress, you can pay some sats to change to one you like, put the lnaddress in Nostr. Done.  
 ACINQ phoenix for lightning users that can't run a full node, ZUES if you want to manage your lightning channels yourself, and then #cashu for receiving small payments while the user is offline (Having an LN Address). Cashu offers better privacy and you don't have to kyc or ask for permission.
For everything else, pick a full node solution. Obvously a hard wallet for larger amounts. 


 
 Actually don't use Phoenix because

 The quickest/easiest right now is Primal. It's on iOS and Android and automatically adds the address to your profile. 
If they want zero KYC minibits. 
 I find it’s the most intuitive and turn key.

I don’t need to use another wallet for my social media.
