I'm sleeping on it until I know how it works, or I can get an assurance that it won't expose my ip
Does NWC let me connect to my home lightning node from the web and make transactions from afar? In other words, how can I connect something like Zeus to my Start9 LN node to send zaps if that’s possible?
Because lnurl is trash and a huge centralizing factor that pushes people to custodians. We shouldn't need DNS and webservers if we can communicate npub to npub using nostr relays.
Understood. Idk if I'd call it a huge central using factor but it does need you to run a web server. Bolt12 will be a big deal when more widely used. But for now we have lnurl and it works.
Bolt12 is like the 100k USD/btc, it's always just around the corner. I'll believe it when I see it.
As someone who sees the broad sweeping benefits this will bring to countless mobile first experiences, I am thrilled. As someone who has spent an inordinate amount of time trying to connect to a home server without opening ports (primarily by hosting my own VPN), I... think you all should have to earn it like I did? /s
