This is great! I zapped on a plane from San Miguel, MX to Dallas, TX a couple weeks ago…it was sick!! ⚡️⚡️

I’m using https://lnlink.app to pay invoices. It’s an iOS app I wrote to use a CLN node as a lightning wallet. It works great in the air, it connects directly to my node at home over the lightning network. No tor or vpn needed. Super fast! Since it connects over lightning instead of the web, there are fewer connection round trips needed, so it’s probably the fastest way to pay with lightning in the air or from space 🚀🤓
I plan on integrating lnlink directly into damus soon! This will be the first of many ways to connect to external nodes for direct payments without having to leave the app to pay.

It's great to see the "lightning network" being utilized in innovative ways & your approach of using a "CLN" node for direct lightning wallet connectivity is a "clever solution" to the "problem of unreliable internet connectivity during air travel".
Keep up the good work, #[2] .
