That makes sense. Are you depositing into the Stacker News account of the receiver or allowing a separate LN address or something similar to retrieve a BOLT11 (bolt12 optimal here tbh)? If we go non-custodial we should make it non-custodial E2E

With [Bitcoin Connect](https://github.com/getAlby/bitcoin-connect) from @Alby, see [here](https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/pull/715).

Bitcoin Connect uses [WebLN](https://webln.guide) under the hood. It provides us a nice interface to connect with various wallets, including self-custodial ones.

Does this answer your question? :)

Yes, I'm working on that currently
