In Keychat, sats are always within reach.

Great work
Any plans to add ability to pay with Lightning in wallet with Bitcoin Connect or NWC payments?
Do you mean something like connecting the Keychat wallet to the Alby Hub via NWC?
Sort of, the protocol I used on my app was Bitcoin Connect. That’s the last thing I’ve found I can’t do on Keychat that I can do on my Firefox desktop with Alby extension.
We’re exploring a way to connect users’ existing Lightning wallets to Keychat, with Keychat acting purely as the front-end UI while the wallet continues to run on the user’s own server or desktop. This should deliver the outcome you’re after. (Screenshot from the Alby extension)
Checkout NWC.dev
that’s what NWC is for.
Do wallets other than the ones highlighted also support NWC?
I think pretty much all options in that screen have some sort of NWC support.
CLN there for example is also connected through NWC.
You have LND, LNbits, coinos, rizful, alby hub, I think there is a list on the website.
Thank you.
implementation should be pretty simple.
let me know if you have questions.
Would this be possible through the Alby Go one-click connection?
It should be connecting to the Alby Hub—that is, the Lightning node and wallet. And Alby Go is just the wallet’s front-end UI?
yep.
and as mentioned it’s not only Alby Hub.
NWC is just that open messaging protocol to talk to wallets with encrypted messages through a relay.
thus nodes can run anywhere (behind firewalls and private networks, mobile devices, etc.)
That would make sense. Wouldn't this require logging in to Keychat with NWC via the Connections tab in Alby Hub? Approving permissions and such? nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpqxv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqnmgc6z
yes. you give the app permissions to execute some payments for example.
