we'll upgrade to Continuous Double Auction (CDA)

People like @Undisciplined would love to get their hands on a clean executable of this code. If you throw in a minimal GUI - I'm sure people would happily give you some 💰fat bounty for it.

add lnurl-auth explainer to lnurl-auth on settings page by the name changer

that's the essence of anonymity; how do you people stick to those old nyms for years!

My eyesight improved? This one is weird. Like, I legit stopped wearing glasses for a couple months. Didn't need them. Not sure what that was about.
