I looked into the bridge but didn’t want to deal with configuring a reverse proxy. Would be great for everything to just work over nostr. I guess you’re saying use the bridge you’re already hosting, which as you pointed out isn’t any different than the trusted getalby addresses. The NWC credentials are nice for the family and friends to be able to plug into stacker news and other nostr apps for the funding source. A CLINK wrapper for that would be nice.
I would love to see more wallets adopt CLINK offers. The self hosted Alby wallet lets me share my node with family in a way that gives them each a unique lightning address that works in almost all lightning apps. The fact that all the addresses are @getalby.com lightning addresses is more centralized than I’d prefer, and it seems CLINK would fix that. However, at this point in the adoption cycle it makes sense to keep using Alby Hub for the more widely accepted lightning address and NWC support. I’ll keep checking in from time to time though and hope for more CLINK adoption. Keep up the awesome work.
It feels more to me like it breaks the glass ceiling for those who have app ideas they wish existed so they could use, but not necessarily for those who want to make apps for the masses. If you want something for you and your friends to have access to, current tools are great for that. Once you want more than that, you’re still going to have an app full of issues that is challenging to scale. Not to mention a host of other issues. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may want some legal insulation to protect yourself personally from any proprietary code that may have gotten incorporated into your vibe coded app; something that would be less of an issue for a free app you share but more of an issue if you’re charging for it and it becomes popular.
Mullvad was the only service I had ever used bitcoin cash for since it allowed me to buy a few hours of a vpn at a time, especially when on chain bitcoin fees were high. I was hoping when mullvad’s lightning payments came out of beta they’d also allow for smaller time intervals, but it seems the minimum is still a month. Lnvpn.net used to have less than a day as well I believe. Seems altcoins through Mullvad is still the only way to get a vpn for an hour if needed. Missed opportunity.
Honorable mention for http://shakespeare.diy/ which has been very impressive so far for quickly generating simple web apps
Thanks. Dug a bit deeper, and I’ll probably just go with a Bolt12 invoice in a DNS record and skip the needing a server part (I.e BIP353). Seems Bolt12 adoption is growing; hopefully that’ll be the norm soon. A lot easier for the average person to grab a cheap domain and add a DNS record.
Looks very interesting. Has anyone tested the minimum VPS requirements for running Thor? Seems it would be great for low-resource deployments since you're not running a full LN node, but just using NWC to connect back to a node that doesn't need to be exposed to clearnet.
Since it requires the app (presumably), I’d include some more details about the app on the website/preorder page. Seems like that is a consideration before preordering 450k sat hardware.
I wish bluewallet would add lightning via NWC. I have a number of friends and family who use bluewallet and letting them add lightning in via NWC would be great.
I wish it was standard for all wallets to have a tab that explained what types of fees you might encounter and who they’re going to. Seems this web wallet uses Spark and Breez Liquid SDK. Not sure what fees are typical with Spark. I assume the Breez liquid SDK means Boltz swap fees at least. Are there any fees for Blitz itself? Would love to see that overview somewhere. If I make a request for 100,000 sats, the receive screen says fee: 0 sats. That seems surprising.
