    Can I receive a comment/message to my LNURL-p QR?

    -When you create a LNURLp, by default the comment box is not filled resp. the amount of characters is set to 0. That means comments are not allowed to be attached to payments. In order to allow comments, add the characters length within a range of 1 to 250. Once you put a number there, the comment box will be displayed to your customers in the payment process. You can also edit a LNURLp already created and add that number later. +When you create a LNURL-p, by default the comment box is not filled.

    Creating a NFC card for a wallet -

  • On top to just printing voucher for your wallet you can also write these LNURLw to a simple NFC card fromon NTAG216 by not clicking the printer but the NFC symbol on android/chrome and tapping your card against the device. This will enable the cardholder to directly spend those sats at a tpos, pos or wallet-app another one uses that can handle lightning payments via NFC.
    • -
  • If you run an event and want to hand out bigger amounts of cards with simple voucher links on consider this NFC-brrr batch tool as well as using NTAG424 cards, so that your customers can rewrite them later with an own wallet and the boltcard service (see ff)
    • -
  • For bigger amounts the Boltcard-Extension should be used. It will generate a link that sends a new invoice every time it is used for payments and keeps track too if the allowed card-ID is redeeming funds. Hence the setup of Boltcards is a bit safer but it needs some additional tools. You can find further infos on creating or updating boltcards here. -

    Can I prevent others from generating wallets on my node? -

    When you run your LNbits in clearnet basically everyone can generate a wallet on it. Since the funds of your node are bound to these wallets you might want to prevent that. There are two ways to do so -

  • configure the allowed users / extensions in the .env file
  • -
  • configure the allowed users / extensions via the Usermanager-Extension. You can find more info about the superuser and the admin extension here - Please not that all entries in the .env file will not be the taken into account anylonger after you activated the admin extension. -
