pull down to refresh

Mostly it’s because we’d have to keep a machine running 24/7 and deal with the costs that come with it. I also haven’t really put in enough time yet to figure out liquidity management, but I think if it’s a private node, that whole thing gets a lot simpler.

OK understandable.
I suggest this next experiment for you: Go to https://lightning.video/login create and account, upload a video or not, doesn't really matter, then try to link that LNV account into your Shock wallet as additional identity.

It’s asking for an email or an nsec 👎

I don’t have the extension on this PC. A barcode (LNURL) shows up, but I’m not really sure how to use it with ShockWallet (PWA)

Now you have more things to investigate :)

I’m guessing it would work using the QR scan option in ShockWallet, but since I don’t have a camera connected it just throws an error and I can’t do anything else. When you click “scan QR code,” instead of showing an error and closing the popup, it could let you manually enter the LNURL instead. cc/ @justin_shocknet

Yea we deprecated LNURL auth since it has so many problems, its not in the new shockwallet, but we didn't completely rug it from LV since it still had users active and just labeled it legacy

Making a payment to LV creates an account with a generic secret (recovery token) so you don't need to cough up an nsec or have an extension

LV's been back-burnered for quite awhile since Pub was really the missing piece for something like it to work non-custodially. Hoping to refresh it this year.

I just tried it and it created an account, but it’s different from the one created with the nsec. Is that how it’s supposed to work? Does it create a new account every time I make a payment to LV, or is it always the same one?

I couldn’t find a way to log in without the extension or by using the LNURL in ShockWallet (no camera to scan QR code), so I just entered the nsec (it’s a test account, no big deal!)

Keeping a machine on 24/7 sounds rough. I’m still learning, but would starting private really make liquidity management much simpler in practice?

reply

Lightning.Pub has liquidity automation thats sufficient for a personal/private node, management really only becomes a job when you're optimizing for routing
