boltz-backend VS awesome-lnurl

This would only be possible custodial unless you run an own lighting node. Regarding the cashout to onchain cold wallet you can loop out lightning to onchain with literally any lightning wallet if you use a 3rd party service such as https://boltz.exchange/ or any other service that does the same job. Swapping to onchain can also be done using muun wallet but of course all methods cost the mining fee on top.

watch-only are on-chain wallets, so it will not accept lightning. unless you use muun wallet (custodial by third party) You can create a lightning wallet in bluewallet either by having your own node or adding it from a third party, getalby is a lightning wallet that you can add to bluewallet. After adding the wallet, lightning breez should accept the transaction, to send lightning to watch-only(on-chain) you would have to convert it or pass it to on-chain, https://boltz.exchange either https://learn.robosats.com/ they work quite well to move lightning to on-chain, keep in mind the fees can be high.

Also, look into swap services like https://boltz.exchange and https://fixedfloat.com

I use https://boltz.exchange/ to loop out my LN BTC. Works great and it's the cheapest/easiest solution I've found.

I use Robosats exclusively these days and it's easy to send to cold storage using Boltz. Bonus points for boltz because I can increase the inbound liquidity of my Lightning node by sending sats to cold storage with them. You can do the same process they use manually but I've found that the fees are higher and it's less convenient that way

Swap out to a specific address using a service like https://boltz.exchange

Yes, but sender is not required to use Strike. Also, it's Strike API, not Strike app, but API details are not public, likely you will be able to link your account with other wallets too. With LNURL it should be possible.

I really like all the new things that keep popping up, like Lightning Address, and the lnurl protocol

The lnurl protocol makes things extremely smooth and nice. Also you can use Lightning wallets for authentication, and so many cool things keep popping up all the time, like Lightning Address so that you can setup a payment through lightning to any "internet static identifier" like an email, telegram username, whatever.

This faucet uses one of the new protocols for lightning, lnurl, and it makes the transfer of Bitcoin with Lightning literally as easy as clicking a link.
