Rizful now supports "hold" invoices -- via the website or NWC. See here: https://docs.megalithic.me/rizful-tips-and-tricks/rizful-hold-invoices

Lightning PSA:

Proprietary APIs like those offered by Breez and Lightspark have severe privacy dangers, and lock your users into services provided by only one company.

These companies are marketing their APIs as "self-custodial": We've all learned from recent issues with Liquid about how dangerously misleading this can be.

The LSP ("Lightning Service Provider") standards are open, private, and allow you to switch providers at any time.

Learn more about the LSP standards here:

This is what we've been building -- OpenReceive -- freedom tech for inbound payments -- receive BTC Lightning, UDST, and USDC, safely & reliably to your web application: https://openreceive.org/

building Lightning services: "Six months of learning about Lightning and then an unlimited numbers of years of increasingly complicated and paranoid DevOps"

We're building something big and robust for merchants that relies on receive-only NWC codes. Our research suggests that currently only Alby and Rizful support making receive-only NWC codes. Can anyone suggest other NWC-capable wallets which easily allow a user to generate a receive-only code?

trying to contact you with something security related, seems like you might not be on Telegram anymore and it isn't obvious to me how to contact you otherwise, you might want to have some kind of contact form or method on stacker.news especially for security-related stuff

ColdCard apocalypse was a black swan event. Even more unlikely than a big exchange getting hacked. Who would have ever thought that a paranoia-themed operation like CoinKite would have basic RNG flaws?

Does anyone know who the creator or runner of https://snake.dance/ is? We have a technical query..

Lightning Swap: https://docs.megalithic.me/lightning-tips/swap-usdt-usdc-solana-ethereum-to-bitcoin-lightning ... https://lightning-swap.com/ -- compatible with the FixedFloat API.

Lightning doesn't have a marketing department.... It's not like Solana. But those of us who can see activity increasing from the "inside" -- because we run routing nodes or services -- can see it growing steadily year over year.

was digging around in a desk drawer and found this... https://image.nostr.build/182c4e0aa16c300426b12e904ac81f1b508ac7c553f718b776801a629b197f6f.jpg

We recently posted about issues with TOR with Megalith LSP. That was incorrect. The issue is actually unrelated to Tor. We're narrowing in on users who are running CLN (Core Lightning) version 26.04 -- which has a known incompatibility with LND. These users should update when possible to 26.06: https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/releases

what is a mobile app that you use at least occasionally that would be cool to have support for Lightning payments in?

Some Lightning users on Tor connections are currently experiencing difficultly maintaining connections to Megalith LSP. Since we have more than one report, our guess is that there is a global TOR issue right now. If it's impacting you, please feel free to get in touch if you want a workaround: https://megalithic.me/contact

Those of us who are predicting an extended bear market in bitcoin might be underestimating the impact of millions of normies having ETF access to bitcoin in their brokerage accounts. A huge percentage of all the wealth in the world is in American brokerage accounts.

Note for users of the new Primal wallet: The new wallet denoted as "self-custodial" by Primal uses Spark.

Spark is an API provided by the Los Angeles company LightSpark. ( https://www.lightspark.com/ )

LightSpark is a competitor to Megalith & Rizful, so we're generally committed to keeping our mouth shut with regard to LightSpark's overall merits.

But: everyone should know that LightSpark payments over the Lightning network can have significant LATENCY......

LightSpark is doing quite a lot of complicated stuff "on top" of the Lightning network.

If, for example, you were using the previous Primal wallet (provided by Strike), you might have been able to zap a user and get a confirmation of successful zap within 1 to 2 seconds. Using LightSpark's API, by contrast, our tests indicate that a zap confirmation can take upwards of 10 seconds. (TEN SECONDS!)

We're bringing this up because we're seeing a lot of "I can't zap" complaints recently.

If you're having problems, check your lightning address service -- if it's run by LightSpark -- in this includes many wallets marketed as "self-custodial", such as Breez, Wallet Of Satoshi, Primal, and others.... it might be that you CAN zap and zaps DO work, but that you're just not used to waiting 10 seconds for a confirmation, so you're giving up and closing out of the zap attempt early....

A representative from Rizful & Megalithic.me will be at the the BTC conference in Vegas this week, possibly only for Tuesday. DM on Signal or Telegram if you want to meet up: https://megalithic.me/contact
