This is great, but I'm wondering.... why the Alby and Boltz stuff? You have your own Start9 node, so why not just create a LN invoice directly on Thunderhub or RideTheLightning?

Are you not managing your own Lightning channels on your node?

Edit: I realize that what I said above would require you to close a LN channel in order to go to cold storage, and maybe that's why you don't want to do it? Personally, I spend a lot of Lightning at stores and merchants (using my own channels on my node). As I spend, the channel liquidity moves to the other side of the channel. Buying Bitcoin on RoboSats is a great way to get some of that liquidity back on my side, allowing me to spend-and-replace perpetually on a single channel for many years. Free transactions... no KYC. That's the life my man.
