Phoenix is the best

Do we know when bolt 12 can be implemented in nostr instead of lnurl from custodial accounts?

I probably already works.

Hi, do you mean that bolt 12 can enable self-custodial wallets to receive zaps?

It allows for infinite and reusable lightning invoice. A bit like a lnurl but also works in non custodial wallet like phoenix.

In theory it probably works right now for zaps, just gotta implement it on nostr and this might be complicated. I don't know.

That's great news! Really hope it could be implemented on nostr soon. Self-custody wallets should be able to support receiving zaps.

Nice!

Great news! Now just waiting on LND

Bad ass

Let's hope this become a standard but things on bitcoin development take years

Best news I have heard today!

Awesome 👏

I’m really looking forward to more LN-wallets integrating BOLT12
