They send from my #AlbyHub. eagerheron90@zeusnuts.com is in my nostr profile and I just create a connection in #AlbyHub for sending. I just used Alby for both before but wanted to test out Zeus so I added that to my profile. Sending and Receiving addresses are different things.

nice to meet you too!
Remember that Alby Hub and Rizful.com are both good options, and both offer NWC strings which can be used in Damus and other clients. But these have tradeoffs, because the user runs a "full node in the cloud", which isn't free. (Although it's not super-expensive, either.) We're actually working now on a "lightweight" version of Rizful.com that will be free and will offer NWC connections. But it's also a good thing if lots of people run their own Lightning Nodes. It's contributes to the decentralization of the network. If you need any help with anything around Lightning, we'd love to help out.
Yes. Offline receive is a huge problem. That's why always-on, cloud-based Lightning nodes like Rizful.com and Alby Hub are super-reliable for getting zaps.
Also -- about 6 weeks ago we did some network-wide testing of lightning addresses from dozens of different providers, and were able to measure payment latency & reliability of all the big players. (Down to the millisecond!) We're not publishing the results because the industry is not a stage where we want to make anyone look bad, but we learned a lot of interesting stuff that we're rolling into our new "free" Rizful wallet (coming soon.) If you're interested in the findings, pop me a DM.
Cashu kind of defies definition. It has a lot of moving parts ... when it does. But when it doesn't then it totally doesn't.

What does your vision look like? Have you seen Monday Wallet building on LDK and BDK? Led by @Matthew Ramsden . Also I have been trying to gain traction for a pure Swift wallet in Swift Package format. Persistent premiss to enable new aspiring devs brought up on mobile to independently read, vet and build the code.

i think node in the phone is too complicated. i would just do CLN node + hosted lightning addresses, zaps, nwc, tigerbeetle custodial accounting. probably bdk for onchain wallet

Have you given BOLT12 zaps another thought? Any new frameworks that could make them simpler, straightforward to implement?

What do I miss that the lnurl scheme and, presumably, necessarily custodial design make sense to you? Aside from the custody issue, BECH32 addresses on Nostr feel so freeing to me. Why return to a handle@domain concept for anything?

How do you do it with one time LN invoices? I would have assumed with a stack(?) like BTCPay Server, minus needing a constantly online dedicated server. Llama 3.3 says: Typically using a JavaScript library that supports Bolt12 and has the capability to interact with a Lightning node or a payment server.
