Electrum wallet now supports CLINK enabling users to accept Lightning payments in Electrum wallet via nostr.
No port forwarding required. Electrum now joins @ZEUS wallet and @Ametyst nostr client in having CLINK support.
This plugin implements the noffer functionality of the 🥂CLINK protocol. This leverages nostr to solve the "I have a lightning wallet but no LNURL or open port to accept payments" problem.
Like an LNURL, an noffer string can be provided to any external wallet to make a payment to your Electrum wallet (provided there is sufficient inbound liquidity). It does not rely on having any ports open, but your wallet must be online to receive the payment (same as any other lightning payment).
âš¡ As long as your nostr relay of choice is online, you can receive lightning payments via CLINK!
