       @adam @dave @podcastguru @algrid Just saw that the PodcastGuru Beta has Strike integration now. Connected with no problem but only 3 splits (strike) were paid to PC 2.0. Also the Strike logo is hard to see in the setting (3rd pic) in dark mode.

       @ChadF @adam @dave @podcastguru Hopefully more podcasters will switch to lnaddress (Strike doesn't support keysend).

       @adam @dave @podcastguru @algrid I also tested episode 1 of No Solutions that has a Primal wallet in the splits and that split worked.

       @algrid @adam @dave @podcastguru Lots to still hash out with the wallet stuff but seeing more options is a nice start. Signing in with Strike was easy I just entered my email address, got a code emailed to me, entered it into PodcastGuru and I was all set. Listeners could just setup weekly Bitcoin purchases in Strike and they would be set and not have to think about wallet management in apps anymore.

       @algrid @ChadF @adam @dave @podcastguru sorry if these are dumb questions 😅 but I'm trying to understand the vision. how would boostagrams work? How would a podcaster switch to and get LNaddress? Guessing you'd need a whole new system for a helipad type thing too?

       @sirtjthewrathful @algrid @ChadF @adam @dave Not dumb questions at all, AFAIK Alby and Strike both support lnaddress and if you have an Alby account you should already have one, but Strike doesn't support keysend.  This just just gives people more options. @algrid correct me if I'm wrong? As far as helipad is concerned, I'm not sure if any changes are required.

       @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @ChadF @adam @dave It looks like the biggest concern on the podcasters' side right now is about the lack of metadata. We put the boostagram message into the comment field for bolt11, but that's often too short.

       @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @ChadF @adam @dave Regarding the Helipad thing that everyone seems to use - could someone explain to me what it is and how it works? Is it a standalone app or some web service or some Alby plugin or something else?

       @algrid @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam @dave Its the best Boostagram reader we've ever had. Its this or use 3 other services and hope you see them all.It runs on your node and reads all the PC 2.0 Boost that come in. The Sent tab here does show what I send from apps like PodcastGuru that use Alby/Hub.

       @ChadF @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam @dave I wonder if it could be extended with a small HTTP server. The apps would send boost metadata to it...

       @ChadF @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam @dave Or Helipad could theoretically pull some data from Nostr. Or maybe podcast players would put a link to metadata into the bolt11 comment field and Helipad would pull that... I wonder what devs of Helipad think about all this.

       @algrid That's the crux of it. There needs to be a publicly accessible service that accepts the metadata from the app and stores it for the user. Helipad could expose an HTTP server, but most self-hosted nodes are behind home internet and NAT and not publicly accessible. Nostr relays are public which makes them an easy solution. Custom HTTP services that store the data could work too as long as we agree on a common format and API. @ChadF @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam @dave

       @ericpp @algrid @ChadF @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam Nostr didn’t get shot down as far as I remember. I was on board for everyone just building out what they thought would work best and then we just see what works best. Fountain is running their own Nostr relay and it seems to work ok for them. The issue will be keeping a websocket open on a mobile app. That’s why the metaBoost api was proposed. To give a way to send to a feed defined endpoint.

       @dave Sorry, shot down probably isn't quite accurate. I think you all were happy with it as a solution in the board room, but the community had reservations over the Nostr part of it and it didn't get adopted.I think the metaboost tag with a simple HTTP service is probably the way to go. That lets you have whatever back end you want to store the data.  @algrid @ChadF @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam

       @ericpp @algrid @ChadF @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam Nostr could work. It just needs something more friendly than a socket for this use case imo. But I could be wrong. I’ve been wrong before.

       @ericpp @dave @algrid @ChadF @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam I think the common format should simply be the bLIP10 TLV record itself as defined in the specs. It's easy to send and receive that as a json object.

       @francosolerio @ericpp @dave @ChadF @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam to make it available to Helipad what could be the key to fetch metadata for a particular transaction? I guess the preimage and hash could work? Or maybe we should introduce some kind of special ids…

       @algrid @francosolerio @ericpp @dave @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam There is also LNBits but no one has really looked into it because it doesn't support keysend payments but if apps add non-keysend payment maybe this could work but us node-runners would just rather use Helipad because its been working for years without issue. :)https://lnbits.com/

       @ChadF There was a longstanding PR to add keysend support but it looks like finally they closed it without implementing it: https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits/pull/1129They probably closed it since it got too far behind the code base. I wonder if they would accept a new PR. @algrid @francosolerio @dave @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam

       @ericpp @algrid @francosolerio @dave @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam We just need to start hacking away at stuff I guess. I am a #vibecoder now after all.I was able to build a bot that reads Helipad data for Boostagrams I send and post them to #Nostr. This is the stripped-down version but "mine" even tags people on Nostr and I know it works because I get responses on the post.We have all kinds of crazy stuff that people have built, and I want more of that.https://github.com/ChadFarrow/BoostBot-Starter

       @ericpp @algrid @francosolerio @dave @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam After testing out if some NWC wallets support keysend and finding out that basically only Alby does. I asked Claude and got his answer as to why.

       @ericpp @algrid @francosolerio @dave @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam LNBits is a PITA (to put it nicely). Start9 version gave me 400 and 409 errors so I spun it up in a docker and still the same thing. Doesn't seem worth the effort for right now unless maybe we make an extension for it but its still all behind TOR so who knows.

       @ericpp @algrid @francosolerio @dave @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam setup BTCPay server on my Start9 but had to do a reverse proxy since its TOR but I now have a self-host lnaddress. chadf@btcpay.podtards.comalso make this feed with a bunch of different wallets in it to test.https://podcastindex.org/podcast/74057215 minutes old so probably doesnt work but wanted to post this before I forget what I did. o7

       @algrid @ericpp @francosolerio @dave @podcastguru @sirtjthewrathful @adam yeah the BTCPay server was to test it out and i think its offline now.Thats why I added several wallets for both types, and I also haven't touched any of that in weeks so good to know it worked.Everything else should be fine and if you want any payment details let me know.
