Oh, I heard it was not listed as a download in USA anymore. But for many it still worked. I guess I didn’t know today was the last day to add sats? 1/1/2024.
This is old news, check nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq feed to see the note with announcement 🐶🐾🫡
Discussion
This was the post, I see a particular quote in there saying existing users can still use, and see no mention of an expiration for that clause…

Read this part:
“For our existing users in the USA, rest assured that you have full access to your Bitcoin funds. You can seamlessly withdraw and transfer them to another wallet.”
It doesn’t say that you can still receive or do anything else 🐶🐾🫡
I see the “region not supported” as well when I try and generate a receive invoice. Seems like I can still send out though.
RIP WoS. Was a fun time.
LN-URLs are tough. I’m using strike now.
I can still get zaps apparently (was just recently zapped) and I can still zap. I just cannot add sats myself anymore.
So then the LNurl is still
Working, connected to your app, but you can’t generate invoices, and it’s not showing me my LNURL anymore. You can prob add sats via sending to your lnurl
Makes sense, thanks!
Still sad day knowing the ease of WoS is gone from the USA :-(
And Alby is by invitation only now 🐶🐾🫡
Yah, I had tried making an alby a few weeks back and it wasn’t onboarding anyone at that point and now is invite only.
Other than strike, is there another LNurl provider in the USA that works easily? What about one that is difficult but non-KYC ?
LN.tips and few others 🐶🐾🫡
It says it is not available In our region or country. (The link and all searches for this wallet)
Crap! I guess they all moving out of US now 🐶🐾🫂
Sad. 🥲
Run your own node, then you are free to do whatever you need with it 🐶🐾🫡
Really hard to figure out how to make a LNURL address on the node I run. LND behind tor, can’t get them to work, not easy for a non dev pleb.

And nostr:npub1upmh82f2vy9z3k3qwj8amx9lkkhkjjcv45y9yfyqzfj4jj5czz9qhsg8fq has a tutorial on how to get it to work with CF tunnel, I think.
🐶🐾🫡
Lol, like I know what to do with that or what CF tunnel is lol. Like I said, not easy for a pleb non-dev. I just know how to make photos dude.
Oh well, TOR is a bummer, otherwise I would have been able to make an easy one for you 🐶🐾🫡
If there is enough demand and people are willing to pay, I may create one lnurl proxy for plebs to use 🐶🐾🫡
Yeah, the guide is here. It has been working pretty much flawlessly for me since I set it up!

Does this work if your LN node is on tor?
Yes 🐶🐾🫡
What does this mean? In prerequisites-
Server with OS installed to run nostdress. A Raspberry Pi 4 running the 64-bit Rasperry Pi OS Lite was used however the instructions should work for other Debian or Ubuntu Linux systems.
I think in theory it should work if the node is on Tor as long as the device that is running the nostdress server can communicate with the node and has Internet connectivity to establish the Cloudflare tunnel.
Is that covered in the tutorial? I’m not sure I understand what a “device running the nostdress server” is, or how I would make it “communicate with the node”
I have nostdress running on a separate server to my node. Initially it was on a Raspberry Pi but then I moved it to a virtual machine on my home server. If it is on the same network as the node then the two should be able to communicate. It may actually be possible to run it on the same server/device as the node but I’ve never tried that myself.
I’ve ran it in the same node, works well. You can also got with LNBits and then CF tunnel to it 🐶🐾🫡
