we can receive satoshis with our username, for example user@stacker.news, user@getalby.com, and other domains that support it. I have two questions:

  1. How is that even possible? How can the wallet know where to send the satoshis just by the username?
  2. How to convert the username into a LNURL?
  1. Read https://lightningaddress.com also on https://github.com/lnurl/luds
  2. You can test the fiatjaf decoder https://lnurl.fiatjaf.com/codec/ (right now is offline maybe for tech issues, try later this link).

TLDR: a LN address is practically a caller to a LNURL server that creates a LN invoice from that call. That's all.
