Hot on the hoofs of our last major update, v6.1.0 has just landed, bringing 100% feature parity between LNBits and Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) —empowering users with greater choice and convenience as they start receiving their first zaps and saving on the bitcoin standard! In short, going ‘full Nostr’ means you won’t have to deal with any boar-ing limitations, just smooth P2P (Peer-to-Piggy) connectivity! 🐽 Change log: * Nostr Wallet Connect: Added support for NIP47 payment notifications for instant updates! Now, when a payment zaps in, your wallet balance(s) and updated list of payments will be displayed immediately - no more wallowing around waiting! * Fixed issue #30: When a payment comment is missing, “Null” messages are a thing of the past, because we don’t want our logs looking like a muddy mess! (Thanks nostr:nprofile1qqs0l09hq60h4fwkmvffavu70k9f0z2xd5j45cmm4s0tlpshkpt5q3qpr3mhxue69uhkjmnwv4ezuum9vfshxarf0qh8xmmrd9skctcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcplygw0 for reporting the bug!) Much of the hard work for this update involved adding support for payment notifications to the Nostrduino open source library. Furthermore, we’d like to thank nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch for proactively working with us to enable these features. Enjoy the update!

🥁 Drumroll, please! 🥁 We’re thrilled to announce the integration of Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) into LightningPiggy! Now, you can seamlessly your Lightning Piggybank directly to any NWC-enabled wallet, unlocking a whole new world of funding sources. With effortless setup, smooth transactions, and even more ways to hog sats, saving on a bitcoin standard just got easier. LightningPiggy was the first piggy bank to accept bitcoin over lightning thanks to nostr:nprofile1qqs8u5uf0rd2p9wmdxxaznpn54tkq8wwspmljy0cjqw6jdgm5kv84dspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mq20qgpe. Now, we’re the first to connect with the fast growing Nostr ecosystem, thanks to nostr:nprofile1qqszm52qe2qdkc4u7dma0klx3532jka2g8geck6fwxncyp90wktq2xspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdutgg9lp! You might want to build one yourself, in case it catches on!⚡🐽 Our lead developer, Thomas, has been firing on all cylinders. A large part of the effort involved improving Nostrduino, optimising it for low-memory microcontrollers like the ESP32, which powers our project. This involved fixing bugs, improving performance, and adding essential features to meet our needs. For reference, here are 10 related pull requests showcasing these improvements: https://github.com/riccardobl/nostrduino/pulls?q=is%3Apr+ Additional improvements that come with this v6.0.X release include: - Added NWC URL to the configuration page for easier wallet connection. - Improved help text on the configuration page for better clarity. - Enhanced timezone selection by adding GMT offsets for more precise setup. - Displayed IP address after connecting to an access point as a client. - New functionality for the General Purpose (IO39) button: • Short press refreshes the balance (like the tilt sensor). • Short press skips the wait time during the logo/boot wisdom display. - Optimised Wi-Fi connectivity with a full network scan, automatically selecting the strongest access point.
