Americans, now that lnurl is getting some adoption, if you host your own lnurl server make sure you're blocking Iranian, Cuban, North Korean, Russian, and Syrian IP addresses so that you don't wittingly accept a payment from users in those countries! Not worth jail time or fines.

Just got around to setting it up on mine, luckily nginx makes it easy.

You can go to jail for accepting a Lightning payment because you know the sender's IP.

Can you go to jail for accepting BTC on chain from a sanctioned entity, if you don't know the sender and the sender's IP?

Nope! (Well, basically no, IANAL, though, talk to one)
