The LightingTipBot is really the Bitcoin/Nostr onboarding way:
1) Join the bot https://t.me/LightningTipBot to immediately obtain a (custodial) LN wallet with a LN that match your username (xxx@ln.tips) and an anonymous one useful if you don't want dox yourself; put it in you Nostr profile.
2) Use the "/nostr add" command to link your pubkey and start to register the zaps attached to every post; the bot also notifies every zap with the sender message.
3) Use the "/link" command to get the private lndhub URL; with this you can configure Alby (browser extension) and Bluewallet (Android/IOS/macOS) to have a unique wallet across all devices for an integrated experience.
4) Zap and receive zaps ⚡ and start to think the bitcoin v4v way; if you are a creator you have huge opportunities.
5) Bonus point: tip friends on Telegram and propose them to embrace Bitcoin/Nostr.
Objections:
Why use a Telegram bot instead of go all-in with Nostr?
Simply because a similar bot doesn't still exist for Nostr, even if I'm quite sure calle 👁️⚡👁️ (npub12rv…85vg) is working on something 👀
Then Telegram attracts people that already realize that there are a lot of possibilities, and quality ones, outside the small fake-golden Meta garden, so it is a perfect place to onboard new aware users.
Plus the bot and lndhub are open source.
Why a custodial wallet?
Today custodial LN is quite hard to start, we have great projects like OBW and Blixt that already permit it, but it's an harder step for a newcomer. To experience the coffee-zapb magic a custodial solution is reasonable. Don't let the perfection kill the excellency.
Shout-out to calle 👁️⚡👁️ (npub12rv…85vg) to have built it! 🙌⚡
