@dave @adam regarding an index of Lightning Addresses: a lot of users are putting their lightning addresses prefixed with a ⚡ in their profiles, e.g. ⚡[email protected]
Alby and ZBD support this already. There is also a meta tag for HTML: https://github.com/BitcoinAndLightningLayerSpecs/rfc/issues/1
Both could be crawled and indexed.
@adam @dave Lightning address resolution happens via LNURL on your server, so in the end it's just regular requests and domain resolution is done via DNS.
It's probably way simpler than you might think.
See docs: https://github.com/andrerfneves/lightning-address/blob/master/README.md
@dergigi @adam @dave with a little bit of redirect magic (one line in nginx) you can also use a nicer domain: https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver-doc/blob/master/docs/FAQ/LightningNetwork.md#how-to-redirect-a-lightning-address
@dergigi @adam That’s interesting. When you say “profile” are you speaking of the Twitter/Mastodon profile?
