I’m putting together a list of Lightning wallets to recommend to customers who visit nostr:npub1key55ax33gkl50uqemvl4khrtqrhzm7wzpc7fhseutt5ddkcwcrqgxlt3h and want to learn how to buy a beer at the bar. ⚡️🍺
Requirement 1: It needs to be easy to set up for someone with minimal bitcoin knowledge, or has experience with crypto but never used Lightning before
Requirement 2: It needs to work without a VPN in New York (and the US in general) – this means NO Strike, Cash App, ZBD, Primal, Phoenix, WoS, etc.
This is a surprisingly hard list to write.

Just had a thought - instead of bar tabs, alby hub friends and family connections. It's kind of a reverse tab since the patrons would pay up front, but then they have a lightning balance that theyre spending at the bar or can take anywhere else (until you rug them to teach them "not your node, not your sats")
Alby Hub is fantastic, but the setup process is a LOT for someone sitting at a bar. Plus it’s still invite-only.
Not if they just download alby go and you send them a nwc string. Probably the easiest onboarding i can think of, but I'm sure you don't want to be a custodian
Check out nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x you're not the only one with this idea :D
yes! I thinks those ideas are the exciting ones. with lightning we can do much cooler stuff than just to scan some code and pay.
check in at the bar and each drink will just automatically be charged with NWC… they will not pay upfront, the bar can request a payment and has a budget…
(if your bar rugs you then you’re for sure in the wrong bar. I also expect my bar to serve me decent drinks ;) )
Open Tabs :)
