Are these requests to a lightning address or plain keysend payments?

@adam @dave @csb

Payments to lightning addresses create an increased load on our server infrastructure, because of the high payment frequency in podcasting. That makes it difficult for us to reliably distinguish between spam and legitimate traffic, so some requests may get blocked accidentally.

Do you consider many 1 sat payments spam?

@adam @dave @csb

1 sat payments are not spam.

A lightning address resolves to a URL that gives you a BOLT11 invoice. This invoice will be paid in the ideal case. Or it won't be paid for different reasons.

So we cannot know if there is a real payment intent behind a invoice request.

You had solid reasons for choosing Keysend payments in the first place.

I missed an important detail. LNURL requests won't cause problems for Alby Hubs that are online. @bumi clarified it here: https://kosmos.social/@bumi/115605365867402418

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] that's not true. IF a node is offline AND a lot of ln address requests come in then the Alby ln address infrastructure will stop trying to get the invoice for some time because clearly the node has issues and can't receive and it's better for the player/sender to have a fast reply and not get blocked. Because boostagram payments are a bit different than typical LN address payments we probably can optimize the detection of the node recovery.
