What happened to the good ol discovery where you just look around & figure it out?

Feel like zapping people idk

Fair point though 🤝 Also reminds me of my dad’s “you can look that word up - here’s a dictionary” 😂😂

I was gunna say that & go heres a search engine but the results are uhh not so great. If youre on the amethyst client it's easy to figure out.

Just LN url(outdated) is your lightning wallet url address if you don't use theboje above where you just put in the email.

Lightning wallets sometimes have a feature where you can sign a message. Ride the Lightning (RTL) and ThunderHub can do it, not sure which others.

When a site has log-in-with-Lightning, they give you a message to sign. You paste it into your wallet, sign, then copy the result. Lastly, paste the signed message back into the site’s field for that.

This allows you to prove that you control some Lightning node. Sites like Amboss use this to let you add info about your node. Lightningnetwork.plus lets you log in that way to participate in liquidity swaps.

Very f’ing cool. Signing the message was what I was missing — thanks!

Yeah, it’s proof-of-lightning-node, essentially.
