A, way too much small text when it comes to Bđź’ś

Can make it bigger. Although this size wouldn't be bad on desktop, this is an extension remember :)

Even then, A is so much more intuitive. If anything, now it’s just the matter of decreasing the amount of clicks for the left one.

Too much opening different sections and having to go back is not the best.

Maybe hovering on different sections could already bring out the function behind it, so you don’t need to necessarily open it, unless you want to

Neither, too many words!

Too many damn ways to receive bitcoin...

Here you go, you knew the problem! So is that possible to simply all variations to just one option?

There is not! Each way is completely different

If so, I’d go with A, but fewer words,

Just “lightning invoice”, “bitcoin address” since the title of that page already identified as “Receive” at the top.

A.

B for sure. Perfect.

B because wording is important, imagine all newbie users. The people that choose A is because they are advanced users that live lightning and bitcoin all day.

The labels on the left are much more clear. How useful is the QR code? Do a lot of payments start by people holding up phones to their computers?

I wonder if there's a way to make "Generate a lightning invoice" and "Receive to bitcoin address" more similar. "Create a lightning invoice" and "Create a bitcoin address"? In both flows, you end up with some string you need to copy and share with someone. In that case, "Redeem LNURL" maybe should be last, to group the other two.

I also wonder if anyone understands what "Redeem LNURL" even means. Could this tech lingo be replaced with something more use case focused?

Thanks for sharing these explorations.

Thanks for your thoughts! I assume QR code may not be shared that often, except when topping up from your mobile, but the lnaddress should be shared more often. "create a Bitcoin address" is problematic, because that flow is actually a swap service, so it is quite different. We had people send inscriptions to those addresses. Although the label above also does not solve it really.

I agree LNURL does not say anything to casual users, i couldn't find any other label than perhaps just "redeem" or "redeem Bitcoin", maybe "withdraw". On the other hand people who know what LNURL is may not understand what just "Redeem/Withdraw" would mean :p

B

People should remember that we need to onboard new users. The extension is not only for people that think and live Bitcoin all day. Wording is very important to teach new users.

A if you want a static address anyone can send to, B if you want a one time use address for more privacy and one-off transactions
