Amazing episode! This one and the Keyan Kousa episode opened my eyes to the hive of activity bringing bitcoin to life. Create curation. If the other messagers are like me, maybe they don’t know how to include a lightning address? Obv an invoice won’t work, and none of my three ln wallets yet have inbound address capability. What do you suggest?
