✈️ zapping above the clouds ☁️

✅ mile high zap club

I’m using https://lnlink.app to pay invoices. It’s an iOS app I wrote to use a CLN node as a lightning wallet. It works great in the air, it connects directly to my node at home over the lightning network. No tor or vpn needed. Super fast! Since it connects over lightning instead of the web, there are fewer connection round trips needed, so it’s probably the fastest way to pay with lightning in the air or from space 🚀🤓

I plan on integrating lnlink directly into damus soon! This will be the first of many ways to connect to external nodes for direct payments without having to leave the app to pay.

Baller move.

Zapping people on the ISS when?

This is great! I zapped on a plane from San Miguel, MX to Dallas, TX a couple weeks ago…it was sick!! ⚡️⚡️

It's great to see the "lightning network" being utilized in innovative ways & your approach of using a "CLN" node for direct lightning wallet connectivity is a "clever solution" to the "problem of unreliable internet connectivity during air travel".

Keep up the good work, #[2]​ .

👏🫂

This MF no zapping us. Their sending lightning from the skies! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Legend!

Nice

High 5

Woah wait... Are you using the lightning network as a sort of onion router? That's dope af!

Not even that, just a direct connect to my node via lightning and rune-authenticated rpc’s via custom lightning messages

No REST or spark needed?

nope. pure CLN jsonrpc calls over lightning. Works great 😁

At the risk of sound cheesy. Dope af 👍👍👍

Fancy, you are. That’s awesome from 10000ft up

when i tried using lnlink the script from lnlink.app put out hostname as an onion address, should I have something else enabled? i guess because my node is not accessible from clearnet?

Yeah its a clearnet only thing. I built it for speed in mind and tor is slow af

do i need a static ip to accept incoming connections from clearnet then? probably not, seems like i missed a step somewhere while setting up cln

TCP sockets?

Lightning is tcp yes. Tcp + noise

Thanks for confirm Will

Barely learning about LN. But LDK mentions their usage

https://lightningdevkit.org/overview/networking/

Strong zap brother 🙏

Please see if you can find any balloons up there

Can I get a zap from 30,000 feet above?

Are you going to have an interface for adding more wallets API?

We fly high, No Lie, You know this

ZAPPIN!

Also, a good move to use your node channel as the first hop, so you can collect the fee for routing and thus fund Damus development.

Any future for Android users?

Whattttt. Holy shitttt. Sounds like a dope direct connection to the hive 😲

How to do this with LND?? Going over Tor with Zeus but painfully slow to zapppp

If you install Lightning Terminal you can use Lightning Node Connect (LNC) instead of Tor

Another option is tailscale

it's called lightning bolt if you do it on a plane

Dope!

I wish I had a public IP address to use this useful app.

Sometimes I feel like I'm learning about this and understanding more

Other times I know I'm still ignorant compared to many

All the time I find joy in learning more

That sounds awesome!

#[1]​ can you explain a bit more how the connection is secure? I understand the lightning network uses its own e2e encryption, thats why vpn and tor are not needed? How does the authentication work?

Check out https://clams.tech

PWA that does the same thing using runes for authentication. No need to install app.

Big moves in tech gwarning

This was Tesla’s idea, energy being transmitted without wires. Energy being compressed in the form of bitcoin traveling through the sky and able to be decompressed and used in another location.

Missed the mile high club! We had discussed the “read more” when it broke yesterday morning and we were very excited for our Nostr Report readers using Damus. And yes, we dubbed NVK a “Nostr Darwin Award” winner for the delete thing. 😂

If you see a story that you think should be included in the report help us out by tagging #nostreport or DMing us the note. Sifting through our notifications can be a challenge.

And congrats #[2]​ for joining the mile high ⚡️ club. We have some CLN users at #[5]​ and are looking forward to your new app!

#[6]

I have used lnlink, but now I am using clams. It can be a good reference for you, I guess.

https://clams.tech/

This is the way. PWA, self hosted, minimal trust.

You should try out clams. Progressive web app that can do the same but without needing to install an app. Just works in the browser. Open source and can also be self hosted. This is the way.

Way to go!!

Let me give it a shot with my raspiblitzs 🤙
