what i don't understand here is, if you're using Strike, why not just pay yourself and cut RoboSats out of the question? You're losing 5% or whatever the spread is on RoboSats for no reason.

send cash to Strike

create invoice on Alby

Hmm, I don’t think I follow?

This is paying fiat for sats in which there is no record of the sats being exchanged

Technically all strike would have is you using cash to pay a lightning invoice on their side. Theres no proof that the invoice belings to you. Theres no on chain data either sooo

Well I am using alby via lightning to pay the fee/establish the bond for the transaction, plus sending the fiat via strike directly to their strike cash wallet. So it’s just as if I’m sending some fiat to a friend for something.

But that's my point. All Strike knows is that you're paying a lightning invoice. Is the invoice one you own or one a dude on Robosats owns or your friends?
