I don't like many aspects, it was completely contrived from a lack of principles by the minor implementations pushing the mobile node fantasy. Even if I didn't care about jpegs on Lightning: - The performance/reliability are a non-starter - It doesn't do bi-direction for commercial applications - It puts the concern at the wrong layer, the payments layer protocol versus the Line-of-Business Application - My underlying principle is that Lightning is the native money of the internet, so things MUST work in a browser (but not reliant on on that web tech you can still QR code a noffer with just a relay ip and node pubkey) - If you want to add functionality, the SDK doesn't touch your underlying node implementation or the BOLT specs and can work with any of them Nostr offers checks all those boxes, with the added benefit of having an identity layer that can be optionally leveraged along side it.
