Michael Saylor did the same for all Microstrategy email addresses

Great idea and thank you for building stuff for Bitcoin adoption!

I can see 1 general issue: As far as I understand it, the sender has to enter the email address of the recipient on your website to make it work. That means you are storing a lot of email addresses which turns you into a honeypot for hackers to collect emails (for sending scam & spam). I personally would also be pissed when somebody puts my (so far spamfree) email on some list without my permission (of course I can never prevent that from happening, but you kind of incentivize people to do so).

Imagine if Email Providers like Gmail, outlook, aol, yahoo, protonmail make all their email addressed LN enabled. That will be the endgame

That's so cool!

Maybe you want to get in touch with us and present the tool to our community? hello@getalby.com

cool idea! what happens after 60 days?

Could we have a QR code for when we claim the sats instead of having to generate an invoice

The exit is where a lot of people leave their money unclaimed and then they rug us?

Anyways, I made a 100 sat test payment and my 99 return payment is now stuck 🙄

But seriously, if this works well, it’s a huge upgrade for Lightning and bitcoin usability 😃 👍

Just like what Machankura is doing with internetless feature phones in Africa. Good idea.

Brilliant idea. This is how i would pay a no-coiner with lightning.

Tried it out sending to myself; One minor bug to report. After opening the claim link and submitting the invoice to claim the payment, my browser got an NS_ERROR_REDIRECT_LOOP error, which occurs when a web page tries to redirect to itself. A simple refresh fixed it.

Specifically, after submitting my LN invoice, https://acceptln.com/payments/claim redirected me to http://acceptln.com/payments/claim, which is what caused the error. Hope this helps.

Unrelated question, but do you plan to allow people to claim their payments by sending the sats to other AcceptLN invoices? On one hand, this would allow people to pay each other solely over email without ever downloading a wallet, which is crazy cool. On the other hand, it might allow for abuse because I could get around the 60-day grace period by simply sending the sats back to myself at the same email address once every 60 days.

This is how adoption starts

super lucrative business model that can be copied and scales! chur!

This tramples any hurdles in the way of Lightning being brought to the masses

Cool, great potential for improvement. Glad to see you are from El Salvador.

Wow, looks amazing 👍

Do researchers have to submit any personal info to receive a reward (e.g. tax forms)?

This is amazing folks! I like the idea. I'll test it. I'm thinking maybe organizations could see a real amazing use for it but we need to OP the sheeple first...

looks like it has potential.

This is cool...would be like paypal.

Simple, yet so powerful!

I like the claim payment method you guys have in check but will it be sustainable enough when other mails start taking LN txns

Love this for new user acquisition, it's hella simple.

Very Interesting 🤔

Great thinking, it was another knowledge to everyone who used LN knowing that it was something that has pros and cons.

while its interesting, im not sure this is enough to get traction

wait so you just pocket stuff after 60 days or do you send back?

You guys offered free service, that's good but what does past 60 days means?

Will I be able to set it up to send the sats straight to my node? I'm willing to pay a fee for that if needed (lets say you take 1 sat for each transaction as if it were a routing node).
