## LNbits & Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) - Summary
Here's a concise summary of the LNbits NWC integration:
* **Full NWC Support:** LNbits now fully supports Nostr Wallet Connect (NIP-47) thanks to contributions from @riccardobl, who completed two LNbits bounties.
* **Bidirectional Integration:** LNbits uniquely offers *both* sides of NWC:
* **LNbits as a Wallet Service:** Allows LNbits to function as a backend Lightning provider for Nostr clients like Damus & Amethyst. Users can create/pay invoices *through* LNbits from these apps.
* **NWC as a Funding Source:** Enables funding LNbits *from* any NWC-compatible wallet (Alby, Minibits, other LNbits instances, etc.).
* **Key Benefits:**
* **Increased Flexibility:** Fund NWC apps with LNbits, and fund LNbits with NWC wallets.
* **Developer Opportunities:** Build NWC-native apps leveraging LNbits as a backend.
* **Enhanced Interoperability:** More choice & control for users managing Lightning payments.
* **Contributor Highlight:** Significant credit to @riccardobl for developing and delivering both NWC features and for helpful PR review contributions.

Big credit to @noknees for picking this one up and pushing it through.
Some of the things that were tackled:
* deduplication and relay backoff in the relay manager
* better handling of large datasets with a proper loading progress UI
* centralized Nostr profile fetching logic
* batch fetching profiles for efficiency
* immediate cache load with background refresh in composables
