Hi all,
I’m working on a proposal to add a currency list to the payRequest LNURL. This allows some cool features such as:
- Allowing users to create invoices denominating amounts in other currencies based on the exchange rate of target wallets;
- Allowing receivers to signal intent to convert the received BTC into another currency upon payment
- Allowing senders services to inform of exchange rates if another currency besides btc is used on the sender side.
In the most general use case, we can have a remittance-like experience powered by Lightning and LNUrl.
Enabling wallets to create invoices based on the exchange rate of the target wallet is also very useful.
I would appreciate feedback on the PR.
We’re working on a implementation at Bipa (see bipa.app/.well-known/lnurlp/lorenzolfm). If any other service/wallet is interested in enabling support please reach out.
