Lovely guide. What are the advantages to using a NWC wallet with Rizful? If I understand correctly, it eliminates the need to have an always-online lightning node?
Yes, A rizful node is always online, without bothering with managing the infrastructure.
Also could be a solution for places where is hard to run your own 24/7 node (Cuba or other places in LATAM) where the internet is not so well.
The NWC is just a simple way to connect that node to a mobile wallet app and make and receive payments. See more details about NWC here https://nwc.dev/
Is like a lndhub connection.
Consider it as a "transition" solution to your own self-custody node.

Nice - thanks for explaining.
Could it also be used in uncle Jim scenarios, where a merchant trusts a node runner?
I've noticed it's hard to establish a peer connection over Tor. Seems to work by allowing them into a meshnet to open that first channel, but obviously is not ideal

If you use AlbyGo or Zeus with a NWC wallet over Tor (Orbot) is working pretty well.
So having the remote node somewhere out of your shitty place could help.
We have many ways for "uncle Jim" scenarios, as described also here: #330346 using a LNbits, for multiple community merchants, as a local trusted LN bank. Yes, indeed, with Lnbits you have more options.
What I tried to present in this quick guide is that you can use Rizful, a remote free node, in just 3 click. For a LNbits or BTCpay you need something more than that.
Optional you can replace Rizful for an Alby Hub (on your own PC or remote, as I described here).
We just need to present to noobs all the options available and they can choose the best suitable for their case.
