I want to paste in my/a #Lightning address into my email signature at work. Something low key, but also noticeable with a little "⚡️" symbol. Any novel ideas? Something to get someone curious without confusing them. Maybe a link to my website instead?

Doing a vanity/custom address would be ideal so it could be professional sounding. WoS is exceptionally user friendly.

My work uses Microsoft suite and OS...

Or maybe a non-descript QR code? Lol.

Any ideas on this?

WoS should auto send some bitcoin basics info when someone tries to email one of their @ wallet address.....😅

Do you have your own domain name?

If so you can create an alias address that redirects to your GetAbly, Wallet of Satoshi, etc wallet.

For example with my personal account I've got "jawsh@jawsh.xyz" set as my LN address and that redirects all zaps and Lightning payments to my Alby wallet address at "jawsh@getalby.com"

It's a similar process to using your own domain for NIP-05

This is an interesting idea!

Kk thnx for the ideas.

Alias address? This is like a URL re-direct?

So your idea is to have it as a web address and then it open a web based wallet?

Or...?

I'm wanting to create interest and intrigue with this but also function.

I like the idea of it opening a browser tab and going to something simple.

You copy the json file from GetAlby or Wallet of Satoshi and place it in the /.well-known/lnurlp/ directory on your server. The file name will determine the address.

So if you named the file "KB" and placed in /.well-known/lnurlp/ on your server, your alias address would become "KB@your.domain"

You can then use that address on nostr and anywhere else and all payments and zaps will be directed to your current WoS address.

Neat little way to use your domain for a Lightning address without needing to run a node yourself.

You can create more than one alias as well and they all will redirect to the address corresponding with the json data you used.

I have an instance of lightning tip bot (super beta). It would give you: @soultiller.com as a lightning address. Just start a convo with @soultiller_bot to get the wallet. You can do the same thing with @lightningtipbot on telegram as well (a production instance).

This is too much hahahaha. I'm still ELI5 man.

It may sound complicated but it isn’t. Do you have a telegram account?

No. Too many apps. Hahaha. I don't have telegram or discord and it's turning into a road block...

I completely understand the feeling of roadblocks. Getalby allows you to select a user name as well I believe (I know, another app).
