This can put you at risk with legal regulators regarding money changing laws and other such nonsense.

Or you can just lobby the wallet providers to use keysend. Because it just works.

It's:

part of the lightning spec
peer to peer
difficult to censor
private
not a hack workaround like lnaddress
requires very few network calls, therefore battery friendly
supports TLV records

And more.


I really don't know why you are all using such a convoluted system like lnaddress, It's a hot mess.
Alby, Fountain, ZBD, and Zeus all support keysend using NWC

made a similar splitting system from scratch that worked rather well called "The Split Box" but there are real issues with handling other people's money.

When I send a boostagram it goes directly from my wallet to wallet. From my node to TJ's node, there is nothing more beautiful than that!

Plus TJ also receives ton of useful data such as what song I was listening to, at what time during the song did I send my boostagram, How much was the original amount (before splits) of my boostagram and tons more through the TLV records.

Not to mention since he's running his own node he can use Helipad to easily see the boostagrams AND generate reports in CSV format.

Helipad can be used to fire off webhooks to do all kinds of cool stuff like lighting disco balls and TTS'ing boostagrams during live shows or feeding an IRC bot that displays boostagrams to the chat room.

All this functionality is provided by using the lightning protocol directly through un-censorable keysend.



Putting a third party between the user and the artist is a very bad idea for many, many reasons.

But what do I know, I've only been receiving boostagrams via keysend and reading them to my audience for 2 years.
