Cool! Sending 1sat with 0 fees from coinos.io to your LN address handsome_latino@stacker.news (this account, but LN address allows people who have no connection with stacker.news to easily send you sats). Even the lnurl1dp… in your link works, is decoded to the same (checked at https://lnurl.fiatjaf.com/codec/).

Proof: payment_hash: 72c664d9211d62510c54948e80ea895998d0066b42c9d29a96b02d503f426021 (check in your SN wallet history by clicking on the 1sat invoice that was paid to you, there you copy the BOLT11 string lnbc10... and decode it in the https://lightningdecoder.com/ where you can read the Payment Hash).

An example decoded invoice which I paid to myself when writing this, just to make sure it works.

The Lightning Decoder is a client-side JavaScript, no worries about it sending the data somewhere.

My node is IRATEMONKEY.

The donate link from https://handsomelatino.com/ does not work at all. The one from https://bitcoinexactforecast.com/ allows only on-chain.

You can receive LN also here on stacker.news with your Lightning Address handsome_latino@stacker.news. Then you can take it out of here to or via coinos.io with zero fees for example.

I have done something similar to btc2fiat.me and it is https://bth.patocka.eu.org/. I like your CSS styling!

Hoping you do not pay anything for hosting or for the domain names.

All the best!

@k00b thanks! Some say "do not trust, verify" and we can try it on testnet or signet first.

I would actually even go for a mainnet 2of2 multi-sig wallet with you to prove my point. Will gladly send there 0.1 btc and to move it , your signature will be required as well as mine (and we first share the SHA256 hash of the public keys to prove that both keys were generated independently and not as a product of the other key --- which is the only downside of old multisig, i.e. non-MuSig, correct me if I am wrong). Now you may ask, why don't I fund my C-Lightning node with the funds instead. And the answer is I am getting old and weak. I need someone's help and I rather trust people than myself alone. 2of2 multisig is ideal for this as I can share my private key with someone young and healthy in my close family. So even without me the funds can be released from the multisig.

This all works well and I have been using similar technique to teach others about Bitcoin practically and in long-term. The only difference now is that you (the other party) is not to send their funds on this multisig wallet, but rather to my LN node, redeemable on LN anytime (again, human trust only but what are we if not humans?). The records with pointers to Bitcoin chain explorer with no personal identification other than addresses will be publically shared. I will happily make myself vulnerable with option that you take funds on LN and do not reveal me your part of multisig where my fonds will reside. I will trust you. See how the whole idea is turned around now? :)

Happy new year, by the way!

Good question. Thanks. Feedback is actually what I am looking for the most.

My idea so far is that a (philantropist) investor sends me on-chain funds using which I can open channels. And anytime they want their funds back, I can send to them via Lightning Network.

Example: someone wants to mix their full UTXO. They send it to my node, sign a message with the key of an address it comes from saying anything (even establishing a different communication channel). I then open the channels they ask for and my node now has funds to zero-fee route with. Others can open channels to my node or to other nodes with zero-fee and do channel rebalancing for free. I hope it makes sense. Definitely does to me :) and time will tell if it was a good idea.

Yes!
