The bitcoin rewards for the Beaver Builder referral program are paid out on the Bitcoin Lightning network. As part of creating your custom referral page we require you to provide a Lightning Address to receive your monthly payouts.
A Lightning Address looks like an email, e.g, bob@alice.ca, and allows you to receive bitcoin to a Lightning wallet.
A list of apps that provide Lightning Address functionality can be found at lightningaddress.com along with more helpful information about Lightning Addresses.
Our recommendation for creating a Lightning Address is Coinos, an easy-to-use web wallet made by fellow Canadians out of Vancouver, BC. Below is a step-by-step guide for creating a Lightning Address with Coinos.
Create a Bitcoin Lightning Address Using Coinos
- Navigate to Coinos.io.
- Select the button 'Start in Seconds'.
- Enter a username and a secure password. Your username will be used to create your Lightning Address, e.g, entering 'beaverbitcoin' as my username will make my Lightning Address with Coinos beaverbitcoin@coinos.io.
Next, you'll be logged in to your Coinos web wallet.
Lastly, select the 'Details' button to view your newly created Lightning Address. As mentioned above, our Lightning Address has been generated using our username and here it is beaverbitcoin@coinos.io
That's it! Now not only do you have a Lightning Address, you also have a great Lightning wallet from Coinos.
