Maker of Blixt Wallet, a non-custodial Lightning Wallet https://blixtwallet.github.io Funded by HRF and OpenSats. ⚡️ hampus@blixtwallet.com

It doesn’t have zaps support actually (I’m against it :().

But yeah for sure I have a non-custodial Lightning Address on nostr.

When you use an LN node wallet like Blixt, OBW, Breez, you are using a real Lightning node, but you do not forward and route payments.

This is much better and simpler for normal users than having to maintain their own routing node.

There’s no need to have all people in the world running their own routing node. In fact that would be total chaos and unscalable. Lightning has its own set of scalability problems with pathfinding and source routing.

Routing will became a specialization, just like Bitcoin mining is today.

No amount of automatization will improve things, it will likely just mean you won’t be able to have a ROI, unless you have a lot of capital or some other edge over the others.

Yeah it’s intentionally disabled right now.

But even if I added the ability to set it to 0, it doesn’t work because of the internal ways that Blixt communicates with the lnd gRPC, causing the REST API to fail.

But yeah would definitely be cool to get it to work.

Also hooking up Blixt + Zeus is a pretty intriguing thought.

That’s true. You did mention fees for Phoenix.

I suppose it’s a trade-off for using non-custodial wallets.

Especially considering they have to deal with on-chain transactions.

No, it’s not. And that is an extremely stupid claim considering the cut some of the custodial wallets take.

Lmao again, you are moving the goalpost.

And no you’re still wrong. You can use my wallet Blixt Wallet, which is pretty clear and honest about the LSP services.

Well, you can use an LN wallet like Blixt, OBW, Phoenix or Breez and it will open channels for you automatically. But you won’t have to do “liquidity management”. That’s why the LSP concept exists.

It’s not. People just like to complain.

Phoenix doesn’t give a Lightning Address to receive from.

The podcast hiatus is over and I joined Stephan Livera on his podcast to talk about LNURL, Lightning Address, Lightning Box, Blixt Wallet, softforks and more.

Enjoy!
