The human-readable part of a Lightning invoice consists of two sections:
prefix: ln + BIP-0173 currency prefix (e.g. lnbc for Bitcoin mainnet, lntb for Bitcoin testnet, lntbs for Bitcoin signet, and lnbcrt for Bitcoin regtest)
amount: optional number in that currency, followed by an optional multiplier letter. The unit encoded here is the 'social' convention of a payment unit -- in the case of Bitcoin the unit is 'bitcoin' NOT satoshis.
The following multiplier letters are defined:
m (milli): multiply by 0.001
u (micro): multiply by 0.000001
n (nano): multiply by 0.000000001
p (pico): multiply by 0.000000000001
This means that a lightning invoice for 100k sats starts with lnbc1m because 1 mBTC is 100k sats.
lnbc1m
because 1 mBTC is 100k sats.
