Oddbean new post about login | logout the 420 ⚡ is for your wife once she has a real wallet and is using a real nostr client.
We can just share my actual lightning node for REAL storage of sats, but people should be able to get lightning tips without running a full node and reliabily use it. Lightning Architecture itself has limitations. We need more L2s. She uses #amethyst primarily. Primal was the easiest way to get her a lightning address. Perhaps I should have used npub.cash instead...
I hear you. I treat LN as a spending network so I use Alby and WoS and they work just fine for me and are easy to use.
I have my own lightning node but I also primarily use Alby. Unfortunately they're invite only so I just scrambled to find a solution. My wife is a smart cookie. If she has this much trouble, image the average "normie"...
About Alby invites. I mentioned it the other day to Alby since (imo) the wallet works best with zapstream. They replied and said something like "have you tried Alby 2.0 yet?" but didn't get a follow up answer when I asked them to tell me more. There might be a new version or something out there that doesn't require an invite? But I don't know.
Hey, sorry about that! Let's move to DMs so it doesn't get lost!
I already doouble checked the npub for anti scam 😉
If you have your own node, use LNBITS, you can provide zap wallets for yourself and other users. Works great
Until it doesn't because lnbits kinda sucks... 😂 Partitioning my node scares me.
How does it suck? It just works
It does not just work. I get errors all the time.
Seems like a you problem lol
I don't think so... Anytime I've used lnbits plugins, they break anytime there's a state change to my node. Another plugin added, old ones break, new channels opened, plugins break, reboot node, plugins break, it's just wholly unreliable.
Npub.cash, Minibits, or Coinos will get it done.
