Hey Bitcoin and Lightning builders! If your project uses Lightning, consider integrating NOSTR Wallet Connect. It’s straightforward and unlocks a world of possibilities for your app. Interoperable wallets and apps make all our projects better— all at once ⚡️

Nostr Wallet Connect

An open protocol to connect bitcoin wallets to apps

Check it out - routing node experiment in progress 🧪🥼 We’re upgrading our mainnet node using Terminal and Loop by Lightning Labs ⚡️ Terminal even supports batch channel opening and recommends channel partners - it’s making our job easy! Follow our progress here: https://amboss.space/es/node/02d55e7d3271abc86bdf0b8185f976b84fe38d3b01c1c88f74527abf2593806c47

Got a Bitcoin project idea? We build mobile apps, websites, custom wallets—whatever you need—and connect it all to Bitcoin, NOSTR, and Lightning ⚡️ We offer 4 hours of free scoping, cost estimation, and tech stack selection to get your project started. DM us and let’s build! 🛠️💻

Short week at Velas, but we’re building some cool stuff! 🔹 A new app with built-in Lightning tips via LNBits 🔹 Wallet connections for mobile using NWC & LNC 🔹 An e-commerce site bringing Austrian Christmas Markets to life with Bitcoin! 🎄⚡️ Happy holidays! 🛠️

Building Bitcoin apps with peer-to-peer payments, rewards, or zaps? The best UX often combines multiple tools thoughtfully. Here’s a quick guide to get started: User Wallets: 🔹Custodial (fast prototyping): LNBits 🔹Non-custodial (user nodes): Breez SDK, LDK Node Server Nodes: 🔹For rewards & offline payments: LND, Core Lightning, Phoenixd, AlbyHub Wallet Connections: 🔹Let users connect wallets: NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect), LNC (Lightning Node Connect) This is just the beginning—Bitcoin dev tools are out there. Let’s build! ⚡️

There’s a great feature in LND: Inbound Channel Fees⚡️ Node runners can now set fees on inbound and outbound payments, improving liquidity signals and help solving issues like 'outbound drains.' 🪙 This upgrade enhances capital allocation and routing efficiency on Lightning.

Inbound channel fees allow node operators to more efficiently signal where liquidity scarcities occur. This improves capital allocation in the Ligh...

If your business has a social media presence, NOSTR is starting to make business sense. With NOSTR your business owns its profile, content and social graph. That means a more resilient investment for your business than otherwise possible on traditional social network platforms. If your business is on NOSTR, are you using analytics tools similar to those available on X? We’re curious for feedback.

Reflecting on a year of rapid progress in the Lightning Service Provider (LSP) space, with concepts emerging that weren't even on the radar last year: 🔹 Nodeless Lightning 🔹 Mixed Asset Service Providers (like edge nodes) Stay tuned—Lightning evolves fast, even before a BTC price surge⚡️
