If your immediate goal is to get a UTXO for longer term storage then sure. The reason I say LN first is because of the default level sender privacy.

Kind of yeah, the proxy server knows the final destination of the payment (your node), but in this context, you're trying to separate that info from the the seller + robosats coordinator, which is does just fine.

Robosats has it under an advanced toggle when you're asked for the final invoice. You can also wrap in any invoice you like outside of Robosats with lnproxy.org

Zeus uses them by default if you're using an Olympus channel I believe

Troubleshooting some zaps and need your help Nostr.

If you can see the zap value of the quoted note below, please comment here and to let me know. Getting some reports that my Zap receipts may not be working.

Either will work fine. I was referring more to features, like Bolt12 or LNURL etc

Depends on what you want from the node really

Pretty good privacy flow that covers *most* average Bitcoin use cases πŸ‘‡

BUY πŸ€– - For use when you want to obtain sats that are not tied to your personal identity #noKYConly

➑️ Robosats Trade > Use proxy invoice when withdrawing to own your node > Accumulate/spend from own node.

SPEND πŸͺ™ - For use when you want to use Bitcoin as money

➑️ Not too much to say here, LN has good base level sender privacy when using your own node.

STORE 🧊 - For use when your node balance gets close to channel capacity, or to a value that you want to move to cold storage

➑️ Carry out atomic swap on something like https://boltz.exchange (use the .onion address) to go from your Lightning channel balance, straight to an address controlled by your hardware wallet. Boltz has a 0.5% service fee, plus you'll of course need to pay miner fees, which are negligible at the time of writing.

NOTES πŸ“”

🟧 Your purchase sizes are limited by your inbound liquidity. Plan ahead!

🟧 If you don't want to or can't run a node, swap out that step for a nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 Olympus channel with a lightweight node on your phone. I recommend Zeus because spends from there are more private than in Phoenix due to client side path finding

🟧 When using the proxy invoice feature in Robosats, you may need to adjust routing fee and proxy provider allowances slightly

Happy to take questions or comments. Put down the CashApp and give it a go anon, I dare you!

If you run Core Lightning, please post your Bolt 12 offer below. Want to do some payment tests.

No Phoenix offers please, they're currently incompatible.
