Yeah, the fundamental difficulty is LNURL needs you to control a clearnet domain somewhere so it's easy for people to fnd you and resolve a human redable ID like `satoshi@lightning.gmx.com` -> long LNURL pay thingy `LNURLPBLAHBLAHBLAH.....` -> An actual Invoice from the Lightning Network.
That need to start with a clearnet domain makes it difficult to get working at all from an Umbrel-at-home, and difficult to make it work reliably. I assume it would work over Tor, but 99% of people then probably can't pay you as running Tor on a phone is not normal 😅 and also a tad difficult
Thanks, will do
Great read for those that haven't already (/didn't get the reference) https://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral-bazaar/
Struggling to test this right now because of the testnet shenanigans, my nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 testnet LND is *not* happy haha. Thanks nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp 😆
Though it is very attackable, because it is so similar to Bitcoin but ofc massively outclassed in therms of hashrate. Also has the consensus difficulty reset bug that also would make it suck for actual value. Also also lots of bitcoin devs have massive bags of testnet sats they could dump and crash the price. Though I think we're all in agreement this is dumb anyways so 🤷♂️
Phoenixd is a Lightning node (https://phoenix.acinq.co/server/) that works a lot like thir app, uses ACINQ as the LSP so you never have to worry about liquidity or finding people to open channels with, they handle all of that for you, for a fee.
So, you just need to run phoenixd to have self-hosted lightning, and phoenixd-lnurl alongside it to have self-hosted LNURL and Zaps.
Currently does kinda require that you've already got a server running somewhere, more work needed to get this to work on node-in-a-box solutions like Umbrel, Start9 etc.

Gah, the difficulties of hopping between various Nostr clients and their different ways of doing tags and linking URLs 😭

Great troll 🤣 
Yeah, for now you can still receive ‘zap’ payments but as phoenixd-lnurl doesn’t know how to handle them, the zapper doesn’t get a receipt and it doesn’t show in any Nostr clients
Proper Nostr Zap support ⚡️ for phoenixd-LNURL coming in two weeks™️ (probably sooner)
Also optional NIP-5 server because it was easy
Easily self host your Lightning address and Nostr NIP-5 ID 🤙

+1 for Kraken, seems pretty popular in the UK. Mutiny or Phoenix for withdrawing in Lightning works well
Noticed this a few months ago on Kraken too, GBP->BTC->AUD rate was beating Wise even with fees for the amount I was moving
Fiat->BTC->Fiat is the real rate nostr:note1lpkjs3dr0evxxevrhnw85hgg2vwrj2m0xq88j8y4gta98zv7uqvq92npq3

Phoenixd handles liquidity for you automatically; so basically payments will never fail for a lack of inbound. But, there’s a fee you pay ACINQ for that service
