Every npub now has an Lightning Address.

Send any amount to:

@openbalance.app and a Cashu token of corresponding amount is immediately by DM to the npub holder, which they can redeem (super slick in Amethyst, as it redeems to your profile address)

For example, sending funds to nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 would use this Lightning Address:

nostr:npub1mhcr4j594hsrnen594d7700n2t03n8gdx83zhxzculk6sh9nhwlq7uc226@openbalance.app

Great work! Like a combination of minibits and npub.cash 🙌🏻

Is the code available somewhere?

Not yet. Soon.

My motivation was to see how straightforward it was to implement. The following could be added to a NIP:

“The service may recognize the local part of a lightning address as a valid npub.

If the local part is a valid npub, accept payment on behalf of npub, convert amount to Cashu token, send Cashu token to npub using encrypted DM (NIP-04)”
