  1. Do you think the legendary Tycoon Transport game can be adapted to play with sats?
  2. Do you think in a not a distant future, LN Address can integrated with SMTP and have like a simple client integration of sending sats through any email client? Like a simple special code, like we have mailto: now could be satsto:
  3. Can also have for an email server a system to be added as anti-spam filter on SMTP 5.5.0 NDR rejected message to include an automated payment so the email could be whitelisted? Not using a 3rd party intermediary, but integrated into email server as a plugin or something like that, with LNURL server. Right now I use that on my own email server, but is kinda manually done the process of whitelisting.
  4. What new interesting developments in LN you see for the next 2-3 years?

  1. Short answer - Yes. Long Answer - Yes, wanna do it with us?
  2. There have been discussions of payto:lightning@address.com for example. I think it's possible, but SMTP is an established protocol and I'm not into the weeds of what would take to introduce changes. To be honest it just depends on how big (and how quickly) Bitcoin/LN get online. If the demand is there, there will be those building the user experiences that end-users expect of modern systems and platforms. I think it's more likely that an email client will adopt LN Address sending/receiving on the side rather than on the SMTP protocol. But I'm not too into the weeds here like I said.
  3. That sounds super cool. We have thought of ways to use Lightning Address to do similar things like that inside our product suite as well. Stay tuned ;)
  4. Hybrid custodial approaches. LSPs. Hosted channels. Fiat-to-fiat-through-LN-Address. Stateless invoices. High availability for Lightning nodes.
