Lightning PSA:

Proprietary APIs like those offered by Breez and Lightspark have severe privacy dangers, and lock your users into services provided by only one company.

These companies are marketing their APIs as "self-custodial": We've all learned from recent issues with Liquid about how dangerously misleading this can be.

The LSP ("Lightning Service Provider") standards are open, private, and allow you to switch providers at any time.

Learn more about the LSP standards here:

We recently posted about issues with TOR with Megalith LSP. That was incorrect. The issue is actually unrelated to Tor.

In reply to nevent1q…r9a7
_________________________

Thanks. To be fair: The reason the LightSpark's API (as used by Primal, WoS, others) is sometimes quite slow and unstable is because LightSpark has to deal with all the complexity of Lightning... ON TOP of all the complexity of their proprietary API/platform.

So when you have a problem with LightSpark, it could be Lightning, it could be their platoform, or it could be the interaction between Lightning and their platform. ;)

Rizful is more reliable and much lower latency because we're 100% focused on Lightning and haven't attempted to build an enormous sand castle on top of Lightning.... and also because we run one the biggest routing nodes on the network, so we can be laser-focused on Lightning relability.

That said, LightSpark is doing what they are doing for fairly good reasons -- and it might be worthwhile for some users to put up with the problems in return for what LightSpark is offering.....

Any testing you do should be done with the "free" version because that NWC service provided by the "free" version is actually superior in some subtle ways to the NWC service provided by the paid version.

The address palestingray8@primal.net seems to be violating this part of the specification:

https://github.com/lnurl/luds/blob/036d01d8830a3c0cb22da9af523a2802e72bc132/06.md?plain=1#L108

"`LN WALLET` Verifies that `h` tag in provided invoice is a hash of `metadata` string converted to byte array in UTF-8 encoding."

I'm not sure why LightSpark is violating this part of the spec. Possibly you should try to contact them - https://www.lightspark.com/contact and ask - we don't have any contact with them currently.

Thanks. Totally understand why you want to do this. Did some reviewing.... I think it might be time for these application to step up and support Lightning addresses. Adding Keysend to Rizful will be a big project, and any big project in Bitcoin comes with risks.... Keysend was never really ratified as a Lightning standard and it's best for many reasons to encourage Lightning addresses instead of keysend.... sorry...

Good point. SENDING would be much safer and easier to implement. ...

Good point. SENDING would be much safer and easier to implement. I want to study CoinOs' implementation first. I just checked the CoinOs web interface, and I don't yet see a way to send a keysend using that... so maybe it is NWC only? In that case.. can you recommend which applications that users would typically be using to send these keysend payments (presumably they have NWC support?)

Sorry, didn't respond to that yet. The issue is that Keysend ...

Sorry, didn't respond to that yet. The issue is that Keysend really is designed to "send a payment to a lightning node". It works great with our paid service, where everyone gets their own lightning node... and also with Alby Cloud, which we recommend highly.

To try to use it with a "shared node" setup like with the free version of Rizful -- I think it's just too risky.

Note for users of the new Primal wallet: The new wallet denoted as "self-custodial" by Primal uses Spark.

Spark is an API provided by the Los Angeles company LightSpark. ( https://www.lightspark.com/ )

LightSpark is a competitor to Megalith & Rizful, so we're generally committed to keeping our mouth shut with regard to LightSpark's overall merits.

But: everyone should know that LightSpark payments over the Lightning network can have significant LATENCY......

LightSpark is doing quite a lot of complicated stuff "on top" of the Lightning network.

If, for example, you were using the previous Primal wallet (provided by Strike), you might have been able to zap a user and get a confirmation of successful zap within 1 to 2 seconds. Using LightSpark's API, by contrast, our tests indicate that a zap confirmation can take upwards of 10 seconds. (TEN SECONDS!)

We're bringing this up because we're seeing a lot of "I can't zap" complaints recently.

If you're having problems, check your lightning address service -- if it's run by LightSpark -- in this includes many wallets marketed as "self-custodial", such as Breez, Wallet Of Satoshi, Primal, and others.... it might be that you CAN zap and zaps DO work, but that you're just not used to waiting 10 seconds for a confirmation, so you're giving up and closing out of the zap attempt early....

In our experience, there can be challenges if you try to rely on ACINQ as a routing node. ACINQ should be reliable for reaching Phoenix wallet users, but I would not necessarily rely on ACINQ to route outbound payments to elsewhere on the Lightning network.

Same with WOS -- if you run your own node, channels with WOS or ACINQ will be most useful to reach users of those services.

If you want reliable routing to the whole network, I'd suggest a node that is really optimized for reachability -- for example -- Megalith, Megalith LSP, Megalith Small Channels, Zeus, Ln.Server, Cyberdyne.sh... and lots of others.

The other thing is that Lightning is really is an always-on protocol. If you are running a node behind Tor or behind a flaky internet connection -- or both -- you can expect in some circumstances to have stuck HTLCs.

Can you try a controlled test, where you try zapping a few different kinds of lightning addresses? Like an @rizful address, a @primal.net address.. etc?
