const {
phantomWalletExists,connectWallet,sendTransaction,
transactionStatus,userWalletAddressLoaded,resetTipJar} =  useTipJar({ network:  "devnet"  });

if (!phantomWalletExists) {

				resetTipJar();
			}}>reset</button>
		</div>
	);
}

return (
	<div  className="demohook-container">
		{!userWalletAddressLoaded && (
			<div>
				<button

				}}>
				connet wallet
				</button>
			</div>
		)}
		{userWalletAddressLoaded && (

			value={solVal}
			onChange={(e) =>  setSolVal(+e.target.value)}
			/>
			<button
			className="demohook-tipbtn"
