@algrid There are some unintended consequences of doing it this way.

You could in theory send a bunch of 1 sat payments with a URL you want to DDoS in the comment field. That could be mitigated by requiring a minimum sat amount.

It would also deanonymize the IP address of the recipient. That could be mitigated by accessing the URL through Tor.

@heycitizen Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

@heycitizen Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

@heycitizen I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
@Darren Ah that makes sense. Trained on old newspapers that browned over time.
@Darren What LLM do you use to generate art? Why is it generating brown art all of the sudden? I've noticed it with other peoples generated art as well. Really strange

@ChadF There was a longstanding PR to add keysend support but it looks like finally they closed it without implementing it: https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits/pull/1129

They probably closed it since it got too far behind the code base. I wonder if they would accept a new PR.

@algrid Fetch by preimage/transaction hash or just send a link in the comment field of the invoice. @francosolerio @dave @ChadF @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam

@dave Sorry, shot down probably isn't quite accurate. I think you all were happy with it as a solution in the board room, but the community had reservations over the Nostr part of it and it didn't get adopted.

I think the metaboost tag with a simple HTTP service is probably the way to go then. That lets you have whatever back end you want to store the data. But we need a common format and API to get data in and out. @algrid @ChadF @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam

@algrid That's the crux of it. There needs to be a publicly accessible service that accepts the metadata from the app and stores it for the user.

Helipad could expose an HTTP server, but most self-hosted nodes are behind home internet and NAT and not publicly accessible.

Nostr relays are public which makes them an easy solution. Custom HTTP services that store the data could work too as long as we agree on a common format and API.
