Finally pulled a plug on my installation of LNBits, and moved to a more secure alternative (BTCPayServer) for my regular wallet needs. It was too much of a risk for my taste ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿซก

I was considering running a node, but decided not to.

Good choice ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿซก

Decided to just use a normal wallet for zaps and stuff and just keep the rest in cold storage.

A wise decision ๐Ÿซก

I never thought to do it that way. I'm currently syncing my node. Perhaps I should re-contemplate a few things. ๐Ÿค”

Yes, if you plan NOT to lose funds ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿซก

What is the risk and why?

Take a look at the notes from nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj and I have a few that I discovered myself ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿซก

Is the node on which we are connecting LNbits at risk? Or just the risk that a paid invoice is not really paid?

LNbits is the most powerfull tool I know for using bitcoins on Lightning, would be a shame to give up on it.

BTCPay Server is also amazing and fit for serious commerce but lack a lot of functionalities, especially with boltcard and Nostr zap support. And it had critical vulerabilies too where node found was at risk, so I'm not sure it's much better (from my non-dev point of view).

#LNbits #BTCPayServer

I believe itโ€™s overall a better architecture and it does have Nostr zaps(I use them) ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿซก

Ok when I use my Lightning Address from BTCPay, Amethyst don't know that I got a zap, with LNbits it does (but Primal users cannot zap me), I set back to Alby for now but I might try again.

Install Nostr plugin and configure it ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿซก
