Working on https://oak-node.net

1. Web page that shows LN invoice details, incl. pubkey as description

2. Ask user to click "lightning://" btn to pay invoice

3. Wallet opens, user pays

4. Profit

GM. If the recipient project has a LN Address, you can use Oak Node (on Umbrel) to send recurring donations directly from your node.

Are there plans to expose this as a REST API?

Would be a banger for chat clients (special chat where you can ask the AI smth, app pays in the background)

nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg great use case for cashu because it can include the payment in the API call (vs LN which needs a few extra calls).

> "Man, opening a wallet to send a zap is so annoying" (46:56)

Ser, I wrote Shadowy LN Tips to solve exactly that.

To send, someone simply has to Like a post.

I just sent you one by clicking Like on your post, from a client that has no LN or zap support whatsoever.

This Like caused my Umbrel to trigger a LN payment in the background, to the LN Address in your Nostr profile.

To support this, Nostr Clients don't need to change anything. Recipients don't need anything special (LNURL and plain LN Address works out-of-the box).

The sender simply needs to run a bot (listener) that's connected to their LN node, and pair it with their Nostr profile.

Spec: https://oak-node.net/doc/trunk/doc/ons/ons-3.md

Reference implementation: Oak Node app on Umbrel app store

Common misconception, NIPs are not specs that clients reached an agreement on.

Its a mixture of specs, half-supported specs, post-facto descriptions of what some clients decided to implement while the PR was still a draft (despite others finding flaws in the deisgn), NIPs that supersede others but are barely implemented, etc etc

For me, it started to admit when it doesn't know something.

A few months ago, if I asked it about Einstein's top 3 books on cooking, it would have "improvized" (The Relativity of Carbohydrates, etc)

Now, it just says that Einstein didn't write culinary books.

It's evolving.
