Americans, now that lnurl is getting some adoption, if you host your own lnurl server make sure you're blocking Iranian, Cuban, North Korean, Russian, and Syrian IP addresses so that you don't wittingly accept a payment from users in those countries! Not worth jail time or fines.

Just got around to setting it up on mine, luckily nginx makes it easy.

Ahh no, simple CORS issues.
