actually… i wonder if it makes sense to just let the #lmzap anonymous ai proxy *be* the lightning node (using ldk-node). This is taking the programmable money seriously.

Why not just integrate lightning nodes into everything that accepts lightning payments? Seems like it might be more reliable than some external node that might not be running and having to deal with those error states.

It will understand and validate payments directly, and can generate invoices by itself.

The node will naturally accrue inbound liquidity if people find the service useful… then i can just set up an outbound channel to the damus node to move the funds there when I need to.

I think i’ll try this! Sounds cool.

decided to go with a pure rust implementation of #lnsocket using a few bits of code from #ldk. Not using the full lightning-devkit because it's a lot for the simple things I am trying to do, and it looks like LDK is not fully async.

This will be a very small async rust library for talking to lightning nodes (mainly for sending custom lightning messages)
