Nostr Web Client

Voltage is cool but dealing with your own lightning node is not simple. I’m seriously considering switching over to #nodeless

Honestly, the fees I’m paying to voltage and amboss, plus my time I’ve spent figuring all that out and testing it, is probably more expensive unless I start getting a crazy amount of income which is not happening now lol - anything I’m missing? Nodeless seems like a solid deal.

Only hesitation is that I set up my app to work with btcpayserver and gotta figure out how to re-integrate things. Biggest thing will be to be able to programmatically verify when a transaction has confirmed.

Not sure exactly how the fee structure works, is it 100sats for every transaction and then 1% of everything? I want to build apps that are cheap so might have many small transactions.

Yeah we are trying to avoid the ultra cheap transactions because they basically just create expensive bloat. That's why we have the 100 sat base fee

Gotcha! I’m going to look into it, thank you

Also the API looks suspiciously like BTCpayserver api which is super awesome. It means I could change one line of code and my app would work 😂

It's almost as if I worked on the btcpayserver API ;)

Yeah I realized that after I posted 😅🤙

I need to look into nodeless. Really need an affordable model for small things to get started. Voltage is good for growth but it's out of my budget so I've not even trialed it

Please do it would support me directly 🙏

yep if you don't have the time to worry about infrastructure, nodeless.io is one way to do it. LNBits also has other plugin options for accepting both LN and On-Chain payments.
