Yea, to be clear BitPay sucks for a ton of reasons. But, it does let me pay for stuff with LN sometimes.

Fun report: I tried to buy something off Newegg with BitPay again today. Selected Nunchuk wallet, gave me an error, then flipped out and wanted me to create a BitPay account. I cancelled the tx and just used a credit card 🤦‍♂️. I left feedback on Newegg's site to use Opennode or BTCPayServer, because I've not once had success using BitPay on their site.

Ugh. Yea…. They’re pretty bad. I have found that it mostly works though :/

I was reading that if you just type in nonsense when it asks you for a wallet, it will give up and give you an address. I'll have to try that next time.

I’ve always just selected Phoenix, cause then it’ll give me a lightning invoice, but its behavior is very GeoIP-dependent. If you’re outside the US/in NY you might struggle (try a VPN).

Good tip, I'll try phoenix next time
