Isn't version < 1.0.0 still supported via: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/pull/2162 ?

You caught me 👀
I didn't want to check if we literally support all versions before 1.0.0, maybe there have been more breaking changes

Thanks for this. Maybe I'll give it a try, or should I wait until you post the CLN send and receive guide? I think you said it's coming soon?

Yeah, the code for send via CLNRest is done, we just need to deploy it
But you won't be able to use self-signed certificates like for receive. Do you know what I mean?

No. Does that mean I need real https? That won't be an issue if so

Yes you need real HTTPS1, that's a good way to put it!
Oh and I forgot, you also can't use tor for sending 😬

Footnotes

  1. TLS certificates from a trusted certificate authority like Let's Encrypt ↩

I assume this was just a joke, but I realized you actually don't need to be super user to create a wallet

Saw it from the second number of your post so I felt I couldn't, let me try it out now. It says I can run an instance for 1 hours costing 21 sats. Is an instance like a wallet you pay for?
