Even if Alby had kept easy hosted wallets around, no major lightning wallet supports keysend.
And when you consider what’s easiest for podcasts to give out on air Lnadress offers a familiar email address format.
To be clear, I think it’s a real shame Keysend has not seen more love.
and… it’s a shame lnadress is not Bolt12 ready which also solves some of this.
But there is a hard reality we are up against. We are down to just Fountain and Alby compatible apps that can boost.
Ironically fountain could just sit back and do nothing and they pretty much consolidate and lock up the entire boost market because they probably already have about 80% of it. They’re pretty much the last easy lightning wallet for boosting in town.
And for the listener, it’s a lot less of an ask if they can use any lightning app that supports LNaddress to support the show. They could use strike or other apps directly even.
