[Feature] 1 invoice for 2 (or more) about lightning-browser-extension HOT 7 OPEN

This app could be more simply implemented now with NWC. Another idea for an Alby Hub plugin 🚀

from lightning-browser-extension.

I think what we're looking for is not one invoice for multiple people, but one QR code / bech32 entity that encodes multiple invoices, so that the Lightning wallet handles the UX of zap splits. Basically so that the Alby window does not have to pop up for confirmation multiple times, and it handles errors for failed payments within its own UI.

Also, I don't understand what ZapSplitter does. 🤔

There is no way you can span a transaction across multiple LN payments to different receivers.

Do you mind to explain the exact use case you are trying to solve here?

Zap split

Yeah, I don't think that's possible since you can't know beforehand which payment succeeds and which does not. (and obviously you can't "call back" your transactions for good)

Even with with HOLD invoices you'll have the same problem at the "settle" step of the process.

@rolznz had something there. but it is discontinued: https://github.com/getAlby/ZapSplitter

@alexgleason this is probably not possible, at least not in a standard QR code (There's too much information)

ZapSplitter is a lightning prism. When the user receives a payment, it will be forwarded to N other lightning addresses (each recipient getting a configured % of the payment, which is configured by the user).
