Replying to Carlos

To paid relay operators:

I'm working on a concept for how service providers could add recurring LN subscriptions and I'd like your feedback.

I already drafted a spec and coded a demo for something that IMO should work with current LN tech (BOLT11 and LN Addresses).

Spec: https://oak-node.net/doc/trunk/doc/ons/ons-4.md

Demo: https://se.oak-node.net

Let me know what you think. Does it make sense? Do you see any major problems with it? Is there something I missed?

Thanks!

I like the idea of a prorated subscription! Nice work. Also, I think Wallet of Satoshi (and probably a few others) only allow adding a limited characters to the LN note/memo. I think in WOS It's limited to 32 characters. This would mean users of such wallets would not be able to paste their entire public key. However, I think it's more of a WOS problem.

It would also be nice to have a QR code displayed that automatically handles this for the user after they input their pubkey on the input field of the website.

I'm going to test it out with another wallet.

Looks like I'm in after I paid using Getalby.

Great! Good point with WoS and limitations on the memo length.

I tried to get a QR going, but AFAIK I can't generate a QR for LN Address with a pre-defined memo. Will look into it tho, maybe I can generate an invoice. However that's another interaction with the LN node, trying to keep the comms to a minimum.
