lightning-address VS lightning-browser-extension

Ever heard of Lightning addresses?

Using Lightning in 2019 was a bit challenging but today, it's a cake walk. Everyone from kids to grandma can do it. You can turn your email address to a lightning address.

Phoenix, Breez, Bitkit are the best self custodial lightning wallets. Wallets like Zeus and Bluewallet let you host your own lndhub instance that you can share with family and friends and everyone can have their own lightning address, which can be just your email address.

There's an insane amount of innovation happening on Lightning from LSPs, DLCs, Stablesats, Lightning address, P2P markets, Zaps, privacy improvements like trampoline payments, route blinding... Best place to keep up would be Nostr.

I use Alby (http://getalby.com) as wallet and nip-07 extension. So I don't need to type My nsec anymore, just login with the browser extension

Who is your lightning node provider? BlueWallet did away with there node and left us to figure it out. (I think 🤔) but I use Alby and hit receive and it really doesn’t say “receive with amount” it just has a blue zero and your expected to type in your value. Then hit the “create invoice “ button. When I do this it generates the code and I tap it which copies it. I paste into breeez and it accepts it just fine. So like I ask… what are you using for the lightning wallet in side of BlueWallet? (Please don’t think I’m asking you in a dumb way either… I just found out how to get my lightning wallet up in BlueWallet literally 3 hours before I saw your post)
