Go ahead! 🍚

You're welcome.

🤙🤙

Added, should show up in a bit.

Hey! 👋🤙

Welcome 👋🤙 you have made it to Nostr.

I have added more popular relays to my free relay uptime monitoring page https://uptime.orangepill.dev/ If anyone wants me to add any of their relays for free monitoring, feel free to let me know.

You’re welcome! 🤙😄

Thanks that worked. I tested receiving sats to my wallet and also sent you sats from my TOR browser using Alby. Works great! Love it 🤙🤙⚡️⚡️

You’re welcome. Also thanks for your work!

I agree some trade offs are required for using Nostr and I’ll give it a try after changing the storage setting. Thanks!

The 'BOLT' in 'BOLT11' refers to [Basis of Lightning Technology](https://github.com/lightning/bolts/blob/master/00-introduction.md) . It's once again a set of protocol documents for off-chain Bitcoin transfer. Similar to NIPS for Nostr and BIPs for Bitcoin.

[BOLT #11](https://github.com/lightning/bolts/blob/master/11-payment-encoding.md) describes the protocols for invoicing Lightning Payments.

It describes how the different segments of a Lightning Invoice should be formed. see [here](https://www.bolt11.org/)

For example `lnbc15u1p3xnhl2pp5jptserfk3zk4qy42tlucycrfwxhydvlemu9pqr93tuzlv9cc7g3sdqsvfhkcap3xyhx7un8cqzpgxqzjcsp5f8c52y2stc300gl6s4xswtjpc37hrnnr3c9wvtgjfuvqmpm35evq9qyyssqy4lgd8tj637qcjp05rdpxxykjenthxftej7a2zzmwrmrl70fyj9hvj0rewhzj7jfyuwkwcg9g2jpwtk3wkjtwnkdks84hsnu8xps5vsq4gj5hs`

- `lnbc` in the invoice is the prefix for Bitcoin mainnet. `lntb` for Bitcoin testnet, `lntbs` for signet and `lnbcrt` for regtest.

- `15u` is the amount where 15 is 1500000 and `u` is the multiplier (u = micro 0.000001 BTC, m = milli 0.001 BTC, n = nano 0.000000001 and then p is pico)

- `1` is separator

- `p3xnhl2` is the timestamp in 35 bits big endian. Can be converted to unix timestamp for reading.

- `pp5jptserfk3zk4qy42tlucycrfwxhydvlemu9pqr93tuzlv9cc7g3s` is the payment hash beginning with tag `p`

- `dqsvfhkcap3xyhx7un8` is description where`d` in the beginning is an indicator of it. This should read as `bolt11.org` in UTF-8

Then there are details about invoice expiry, payment secret, feature bits, signature and checksum. All of these together forms the Lightning invoice and that's in the BOLT11 protocl specs. That's why it's named that way. We can also just call it Lightning invoice.

Similarly, a draft 'offers' proposal called `bolt12` which improves on `bolt11` with reusable QR codes, blinded paths, schnorr signatures etc are available. Read more on bolt12 [here](https://bolt12.org/)

I've used it in the past for browsing on clients like iris and astral.ninja. Astral is very slow to load and very rarely loads for me. Hamstr.to works and also yosup.app.

In general I think TOR recommends not using any other addon with the TOR browser, but I tried Alby right now just to test.

Got the following error on the Alby UX where the unlock password is displayed. Also, shows the same error while trying to unlock.:

- An unexpected error occurred (Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist)

- SettingsProvider: An unexpected error occurred (Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist).

Also the 'Reset now and add a new account' link does not do anything. I'm guessing probably because of the same error.

Also TOR runs by default in private window mode, so I had to enable 'Allow' to run in private windows to see the addon.

Hey! 👋🤙

Worked! 🤙

It’s the amount of connected relays amongst the number of added relays on your profile.

Sorry for the bad Wallet of Satoshi URL. Fixed - https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/

An easy way to start is to get a Bitcoin Lightning wallet like [Wallet of Satoshi][https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/) or [Alby](https://getalby.com/)

Once you download those, go through the initial wizard/login process, launch them, go to the 'Receive' button or tab and you will be able to create a Lightning Invoice for a particular amount.

Paste your bolt11 Lighting invoice and watch the miracle happen.

Nostr relay in space 🛰️

All the way to the moon soon! 🤙🤙
