Really happy to finally see Specter Desktop live in the Start9 Community Marketplace for StartOS 0.4 beta ⚡
This took a lot of packaging, debugging and migration work over the last weeks.
Big thanks to Matt Hill + Start9 for the collaboration and trust.
Looking forward to continue maintaining and improving the package 🚀

⚡ BOLT12 Pay is now live on StartOS 0.4
Even better:
No custom LND build required anymore.
With LND 0.21.1+ supporting onion messages, native BOLT12 flows via LNDK now work without maintaining a separate LND package.
This makes deployment much simpler for sovereign self-hosted Lightning setups.
Stack includes:
• BOLT12 Offers
• Lightning Address (BIP353 + LNURL)
• Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC)
• NIP-05 + Zaps

BOLT12 Pay just got featured in the Alby newsletter ⚡
Appreciate the mention — great to see more focus on self-hosted Lightning + Nostr infrastructure.
Also: ~74k sats raised on Geyser so far 🙏
⚡ BOLT12 Pay update for Umbrel users
I added a proper setup warning directly in the app for a critical requirement:
BOLT12 Offers need onion messaging enabled in LND.
Also updated the docs/store text so users know exactly which `lnd.conf` file to edit on Umbrel.
Small UX fix, big reduction in confusion.
Stability update for BOLT12 Pay
Pinned LNDK to a known working build and fixed routing issues affecting BOLT12 payments (Phoenix + external wallets).
BIP353 / offer flow is now reliable again.
If you ran into failed payments before, please update.

I built a self-hosted Lightning payment server (BOLT12 + LN Address + Nostr)
I've been working on BOLT12 Pay.
It’s a self-hosted Lightning payment and identity server designed for Umbrel.
Features:
- BOLT12 offers (via LNDK)
- Lightning Address (BIP353 + LNURL)
- BOLT11 fallback
- Nostr identity (NIP-05) + zaps
- Mobile-friendly payment pages
The goal is to make modern Lightning standards usable today while keeping everything self-hosted.
Would love feedback or ideas for improving interoperability.
