Good morning, I finally got connected properly with a wallet. Trying to learn more about Nostr. Integrating WebLN into an app I'm working on was surprisingly easy, much smoother than EVM connectors I've tried.

WebLN is dead, a failed experiment from the early days of lightning because of Joule which was abandoned. Browser extensions are not sustainable... they dont work on mobile, and are high friction to setup and connect even on desktop.

For integrating into a website clink is the way, use nostr as transport a standard invoice directly to the page.

Can you explain more? What did I do? : | Connecting with Alby not good?

Is it that Alby self hosted ?
Is it that Alby running a self-hosted LN backend node?
Are you aware of the fees involved, liquidity necessary and all the friction you will create with all zaps back and forth?
If you know what are you doing, is fine, but most of SN users have no clue what they are doing and how they are wasting their valuable sats.

I get the sense I'm not pure enough? Can you explain a bit more about the friction? I am prompted by browser extension when I zap / send sats. Does the way I'm connected cause problems for others to zap or something?

reply

Is not about being "pure". Is about using wisely your sats.

That's what I was doing with my old sign in method, just curious about LN and wanted to try out other ways of interacting with SN. Plus now I get a horsie and a gun. Trying to learn more about Nostr as well, want to build something that incorporates lightning but still a relative newb

That is a distraction, to make you feel special...

That is OK, if you want to experiment, go ahead, link wallets, learn etc. I do not deny that, I encourage it.
