In 1 week, I've done what I thought would take 1 month and have wanted to do for 1 year. My lightning node is set up, I have a channel open, and I have a BTCPay server running so I have a lightning address.

That address is an onion address though, and none of my wallet apps know how to work with it. I'm not 100% sure it works yet! If anyone zaps me, let me know which wallet you used for it!

Next post will be more in depth on how my week went. It's not a bad story.
