Attended a Bitcoin meetup with a lot of great bitcoiners this week but several of them didn't know about Stacker News. I need to start advertising more for SN locally as well apparently

It would be cool to be able to programmatically generate invoices for my stacker.news account. Is that possible?
Edit: and also look up if they have been paid.

We support lnurl-pay, so you can use that, although they have short expiries.
No API for seeing if they're paid either.

Slowly downloading the BTC chain, it's taking a while.
Realized last night I can run LN over the bitcoin core testnet flow, going to try the testnet and to understand messaging in LN. Any recommendations on learning paths / sources that other devs like are welcome.

Highly recommending playing around with Polar if you want to play around with LN! It's on regtest though.

BAT users dont seem to care that Bitcoin historically has outperformed it, they dont seem to care that BAT is expensive to move. They dont seem care that the stack they are using is centralized. What they do seem to care about is that they are not using Bitcoin thats what matters to them. Which is interesting.

I haven't met a single person who uses BAT. Most people I know use Brave for the other privacy-forward features

That's the only reason why I use Brave. I hope that one day they drop their shitcoin and adopt Lightning instead.
