I've said over the past month that the "killer feature" of Nostr will be **Lightning**. The fact that Lightning is so tightly integrated on various aspects of clients and soon relays, it makes using Lightning so effortless and frictionless. Beyond that, people tip each other and post invoices and show that it's fun! I've had a couple dozen people DM me and tell me that they had never used Lightning before. Nostr changed all of that for them. They downloaded their first wallet. They setup their first Lightning node. They opened their first Lightning channels. Nostr will help fuel Lightning and Bitcoin's adoption.

Had used bitcoin before, but until nostr, I had never used lightning.
Fast forward a week and I'm setting up my own lightning and bitcoin nodes!
I hope what happened to me happens to everyone that experiences nostr.
My first Lightning transaction occurred only once I joined Damus.
I'd like to list more lightning enabled projects in the 'bitcoin nostr' category at btcdir.org. Would really welcome any suggestions for anything I'm missing 🙏
To be clear, is nostr integrated with lightning, or is it just the clients?
Is there something in the protocol?
And I must say it’s a nice feeling to get started on #LN and #bitcoin with the help and the energy of everyone here!
This will go far!
