Custodial solutions are always going to exist. It’s just unfortunate that some people shilling them purposefully mislead others about their nature.
NameDesc is a very cool, yet simple spec for adding a receiver name to Lightning invoice memos. We're adding it to nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5. Would be great to see more wallets adopt it.

Our best meme so far
New monthly sales record over at @ZEUS, in sats terms. In dollar terms, not quite 😂
Sats flow is more important though. Pretty good for the shortest month of the year too!
For years, Bitcoiners pushed exchanges to adopt Lightning.
And guess what? It worked. Public Lightning volume is up 266% in about a year.
A few interesting insights from our new nostr:nprofile1qqsrtv3u6qkj6a09tnhr3l0wy67g9uw3t57ftqyqpvztpk3wmd6306s92qxwz report:
Our previous Lightning research in 2023 showed a 1212% increase in transactions.
Many of these were low value, as people experimented with new apps & business models.
Now, a new wave of bigger volume has come in, driven by exchanges.
We used the same methodology for our estimates as in 2023, but instead of having data on 52% of public capacity, we now got up to 79.4%

The Lightning industry continues to grow
We’ve updated our map, adding 46 new companies and removing 12.
We expect Lightning to continue growing:
- On-chain fees remain low, slowing adoption.
- USDT on Lightning may increase activity.
- Dozens of scaling proposals continue to build on Lightning.

Been having some crazy meetings these past few weeks. Some that I’d never expect would happen.
You’re not bullish enough on Lightning or on nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5.
We need to reclaim control of our own devices. Catastrophe awaits.
Systems that heavily rely on trust have the best UX until they have the worst UX.
