lightning-browser-extension VS BTCPay Server

getalby.com gives you a LN address, but you have to create an account with them, which requires entering your email address.

If you don't have a bitcoin wallet yet, try https://getalby.com/ WIP, so feedback wanted! Let's make lightning the standard for funding open-source software. Lets orange pill all the devs, as devs run the world.

Or you can use Alby to throw in there. That’s what I use as my BlueWallet Lightning Wallet. Until BlueWallet comes back out with there Lightning Node. Alby works well!

lnbits.com or getalby.com allow you to use BlueWallet lightning wallet interface. They are custodial, so you could always use a different custodial lightning wallet or a non-custodial one instead.

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)

Bitcoin users abandoned bitpay about six years ago during the blocksize wars, because they joined the bcash attack. Now anyone that wants to accept bitcoin payments, and especiallly through lightning, uses the open-source btcpay.

> It was also an interesting learning experience, implementing it was much harder than we anticipated and I hope others in the same position can benefit from our learnings.

Well done, never mind that guy, he clearly has an axe to grind and doesn't seem to grasp very much other than his out of touch talking points: did you look into using BTCPAY [0] server?

Things are still not as easy as they should, but have seriously advanced in the last few years.

Game changer for us is BTCPay Server since a big point of crypto is removing banks/middlemen. Rock solid and bitcoin goes directly to our wallet that we control the private keys for. No Coinbase. No Bitpay. Just actual bitcoin. Highly recommended

Since the transaction which would be running are not going to be that large of a quantities where each and every % matters, I think it would be safer to go with something like nodeless as referred. For some larger operations https://btcpayserver.org/ would be somewhat better. Thank you for the help!

Did you teach them about lightning? BTCPay Server?
