I made a little more progress:

I downloaded the Rumble Wallet appI downloaded the Rumble Wallet app

Upon opening they show you this screen:

If you tap "Continue with Rumble" it takes you a screen where you can sign in with your Rumble account.

Next you can choose to recover a wallet or create a new one:

Save it in the cloud or do 12 words.

And then I saw the button:

Activate Tip JarsActivate Tip Jars

Tapping this gives you two options

  • <username> Wallet
  • <username> Tip Jar

Select one and you see the screen:

I entered a made up name. It didn't seem to mind.

So then I tried tapping the receive button:

I selected Bitcoin and discovered:

Rumble Wallet doesn't support LightningRumble Wallet doesn't support Lightning

Not even trustodial spark lighting.

It's only onchain.

So then I thought I would see if they accepted USDT on Lightning...

Sigh...

But I can still tip people right?But I can still tip people right?

In the Rumble Wallet app I see a tip button next to a list of accounts I follow, like Bitcoin Magazine, but it's grayed out (I assets because my wallet balance is zero?)

So then I thought I would go check the desktop version of Rumble.com and see if I could tip someone.

I found out that Simply Bitcoin has an attached wallet.

You can see the tip button up there on the right hand side of the screenshot.

Once again though I discovered that it's onchain bitcoin only. No lightning. No spark. No ecash (guy can hope, right?). Unsurprisingly, the USDT options were also the same.

Clicking "Tip with another wallet" just let's you generate a qr that is specific to the currency you plan on using (onchain Bitcoin, USDT (eth, arbitrum, or polygon) or UAXT.

So where does this leave it? I guess it's clear they want you to use USDT, not bitcoin.

They require you to use their own wallet app, and they still require you to scan a QR code? Sad

No lightning. No spark. No ecash

Maybe because they are doing it all behind the scenes with bullshit swaps.

Neither can you tip someone from an external wallet via lightning.

I think you can tip someone from an outside onchain wallet, but I'm not that dedicated to this research.
