1: probably spin up your own BTCPay Server on Luna Node (there are guides, google it) and attach your own domain to the BTCPay Server. BTCPay server support’s lightning addresses so you you can create your lightning address and receive payments there. Since you want it non custodial, you need to open channels with other nodes and buy from some service inbound channels so that you can receive sats in your node. Running and managing a lightning node it’s not super easy unfortunately.

2. Sort of, yeah, you are trusting someone else with your money. They can display a certain balance and actually not have the sats. There are indirect ways to audit, but it’s always trusting someone else with your money.

Can probably drop it in bio now, but would be nice if it’s integrated somehow.

Then you need some search fields for skills, eg legal advice, music teacher, math tuition, etc. and it’s all super easy and peer to peer, no middle man.

Just wondering how LNCAL works? Does it use Google Calendar at all?

I looked into this and LNCal.com is just the calendar you book a session with and the mechanism for payment for that session.

To use it you would have to provide someone with a link yourself before they could schedule a season.

This could be easily integrated into a Nostr app!

I think one killer use case for nostr right now is online tuition.

Killer feature… a bookable calendar.

Tutor puts up some time slots in a public calendar and you can book a slot with a LN payment. The calendar then DM’s a webRTC link to both parties.

Tutors rise and fall by their reputation.

Thinking about this a bit more… you could do lots of things from math tuition to cocktail classes. Maybe even sell services and meeting time this way. Eg speak to a lawyer.

Relatively easy to build this on nostr.

1 is not easy yet.

2 yes, although there are still some KYC-free options. But the Bitcoin keys and Lightning node are managed entirely by the custodian, so you could be rugged at any time. I use custodial Lightning wallets for small amounts (like zapping around on nostr, now). I use a non-custodial wallet (Phoenix is a good option, if you don't run CLN or LND) for larger amounts and self-custody. But again you won't easily get the LN address (“email”) this way.

Hi Nostriches

2 question to anyone that is an expert on LN

1. What is the easiest way to have non custodial lightning wallet that can have an address that looks like email address so it's easy to remember?

Is there a way? Preferably for a not so techie person

2. Is having custodial lightning wallet is equivalent like storing your BTC on a crypto exchange?

Let’s do a Nostr experiment.

If you repost this and follow me, I will zap you.

hey maxies, how come eth keeps going up vs btc? Do you have a good answer for that ?

So, uh, doesn’t that make Satoshi creating Bitcoin stealing?

Logic doesn’t seem to pan out here.

Money printing is stealing. Creating a token is printing money. Simple.

I’m experiencing symptoms after not being on bird app for a little while.

- unbothered

- moisturized

- happy

- in my lane

- focused

- flourishing

Clown world may keep on trucking and stars may be continuing to rise, but I’m blissfully unaware of it.

Nostrich life is good life. 💜
