This Lightning Address is special.

When you pay to it, my Lightning Box solution will forward the request to the phone, where Blixt Wallet respond with an invoice.

This is the first time a self-custodial LN wallet supports Lightning Address.

This is part of my on-going work to support receiving via Lightning Address for mobile self-custodial wallets.

Android supports foreground services, meaning that Blixt Wallet can stay online all the time to answer incoming requests (no effect on battery).

Though the normal mode of operation for Lightning Box is that it'll take the payment on behalf of the user and then next time the user opens wallet, it will auto-withdraw from the Box, thanks to LNURL-withdraw.

But if the wallet is online already, it can just forward the request.
