With Alby sunsetting their free wallet, and LNPay sunsetting their wallets a few years ago, I think we need to have a discussion about how to move away from hardcoding lightning address into the feed.
If I was a guest of a podcast and have a split, and then my address changes, the podcaster now has to update their feed to change my wallet. It's a hassle.
It should be an npub.
The lightning address is there exactly for that and allows to change the wallet that is used. (as opposed to the node key)
We believe those "addresses" should be owned by the user and the user can then choose the wallets freely. This is the beauty of the open network.
At Alby we always have been working towards that.
What do you miss - except maybe a free option?
