Yo! Welcome!
There's always room for more at the Bitcoin Dog Park! đđŚ´
If that's the case, you probably won't have much interest in Strike Bill Pay at this time.
They don't offer rewards on transactions.
I used to use Fold, who did give me small rewards, but switched to Strike as they auto-convert to fiat at the time a bill comes due and it saves me hassle on my end.
Personally, the ability to remain 100% in bitcoin at all times is worth missing out on the small rewards that I was getting before.
I'm glad you found it interesting! I'm working on an article for my site that introduces and explains the story that led to its creation, and will share that here as well once it is complete.
That's Bitcoin for you. You never know what projects and problems you might end up deciding to sink your teeth into.
I ran into that issue as well. In my case, attaching the external wallets again on mobile resolved the issue.
I've had mine set at a max 1% fee and have yet to have a failed transaction. 1% is actually a very generous fee on LN.
Congrats and thanks for sharing your experience!
LN is awesome, and NWC makes nostr so much more fun!
Initially, I viewed Bitcoin as a toy or a way to gamble. It was only after 7 years of getting burnt shitcoining and deciding that "Bitcoin was dead" that I was shocked to see the price at $40k, and was forced to go down the rabbit hole.
For me, it was it was the quest for knowledge that finally let me understand Bitcoin. I didn't think I had a problem that it could solve until I did enough research to finally understand the problems with money in our society.
I cover much of this in detail in my orange-pill story "Paw Prints to the Time chain":

I also go deeper into the intersection of Bitcoin and Psychology in my article "Maslow's Apex": https://bitcoinbarks.com/Barks/maslows-apex/#wbb1
If you like Crypto, then this is the most important election ever for you. One candidate is releasing his own shitcoin, while the other wants to pursue regulation. But if you're only focused on Bitcoin as a long-term decentralized parallel financial system, I feel this election is largely inconsequential.
Like it or not, Wall Street is on our side now. Where we see freedom and an escape from debasement, they see sweet, sweet fees (and apperently, an escape from debasement). With Wall Street and bankers pushing for greater Bitcoin adoption, I find it hard to believe politicians will do much to push back in the coming years.

I believe lightning addresses are built on LNURL, but LNURL as I was used to working with it a few years back were payment codes of the form:
"LNURLW<random other characters>"
Lightning addresses represented a more user friendly version that took the form of email addresses and were connected to a domain that processed the payments.
