I’m slightly behind on what’s possible with lightning.

Is it possible to setup something like a lightning address, that’s reusable (like bank details) for a service provider?

Then someone can sent you a payment (like a Nostr Zap). They get a unique receipt that only they should know.

Then they can provide that receipt to the service provider and say I have pre-paid this request.

Basically looking for a single request API remote Nostr event POW service, where someone sends partial event, difficultly target and a pre-payment hash that can be verified by the service provider as unspent yet.

Sounds like BOLT12.

The unique receipt is just the usual Lightning preimage.They could then exchange the preimage for e.g. a JWT or other bearer token

Yep.

Maybe I don’t need the receipt stuff.. I would know the pubkey of the event being asked to be signed.

So I really just need to know who made each payment. Pubkey and amount. Then it’s just record keeping.

Does that need bolt12?

Working on smth similar using current BOLT11.

Basically a way for a service provider to check if a pubkey (account) is entitled to a service or not, based on (pre-paid / already settled) LN payments.
