How do static LNurls work? \ stacker news ~bitcoin

Hi there,

I was hoping someone could explain to me how to get a static lightning url that does not expire. Is this possible with custodial wallets from blue wallet or wallet of satoshi? Or does it only work with my own node? Wanted to create my own node for a long time now but have been procrastinating... *shame on me*

Here's the spec for lnurl pay requests which is what it sounds like you're looking for: https://github.com/fiatjaf/lnurl-rfc/blob/luds/06.md

Basically you need a publicly reachable http server that

implements the spec
that knows how to put sats in your wallet - custodial or not.

Stacker News implements this spec to provide lightning addresses for users. Because custodial wallets usually have publicly reachable http servers, they often do implement this spec so I'd check with your custodial wallet providers.

Idk how they work, but I currently use Phoenix wallet for ln-auth.

There is also a merged PR and some additional fixes into blue wallet: https://github.com/BlueWallet/BlueWallet/pull/4315 But I don’t think it’s released yet.

I haven’t had the chance yet, but I want to dive into this stacker.news code base and see how ln-auth works here as well.

lnbits is an option, step one tho is get that node up and running.
