Nice idea, but nostr isn't DNS-free right now either.
Client-to-relay connection is (mainly) done relaying on DNS lookup.
Ok, tor & i2p exist, but I guess its use is very small rn.
I think many of us are thinking the same thing: why do we need to rely on centralized DNS authorities for LNURL when we can do it just with npubs and relays.
Amazing new proposal LNURL over nostr proposal:

Which is something I had though about in the past:

Ok, thinking about this, I realised you meant DNS-free for the payment receiver, right?
- With LNURL over HTTPS it's necessary to build a webserver and have a domain registered.
- With LNURL over nostr it's not necessary to have any domain registered, as it works just listening for invoices requests in nostr relays.
Right??
Right, we would always need DNS to connect to relays over clearnet.
