This Lightning Address is special.

When you pay to it, my Lightning Box solution will forward the request to the phone, where Blixt Wallet respond with an invoice.

This is the first time a self-custodial LN wallet supports Lightning Address.

This is part of my on-going work to support receiving via Lightning Address for mobile self-custodial wallets.

Android supports foreground services, meaning that Blixt Wallet can stay online all the time to answer incoming requests (no effect on battery).

Though the normal mode of operation for Lightning Box is that it'll take the payment on behalf of the user and then next time the user opens wallet, it will auto-withdraw from the Box, thanks to LNURL-withdraw.

But if the wallet is online already, it can just forward the request.

LNURL-pay was first developed for commerce/B2C. Years later Lightning Address came along and became a success, because it allowed for an easy to write & read handle. Soon even custodial wallets started using Lightning Address and this later lead to widespread usage on nostr. It's a succession of ...

Well, one of the concerns is the one your raised on Twitter. Few people seem to understand or know that your channel opening transactions leak in your invoice routehints. This can be fixed either by blinded routing (BOLT11/12) or alias scid (BOLT11). Another concern I have is the fact that seemingl...
