With LNbits v1.4, the server name is now viewable as an optional QR. That means configuring LightningPiggy 2.0 with LNbits as its wallet now requires just two QR codes to scan. And the entire setup can be done on a mobile phone. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported the project along the way. It’s been humbling to see the excitement and joy on kids’ faces (young and old!) receiving zaps on their piggies. We’re excited about what’s ahead and can’t wait to build, ship, and share even more in the year to come. Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas!

Oh Grunt! Back to rolling about in the mud while we get this sorted! ⚡️🐽 #LightningPiggy #STEMM #BitcoinKids #BuildInPublic #bitcoin https://m.primal.net/QFOf.jpg https://m.primal.net/QFOg.jpg https://m.primal.net/QFOh.jpg https://m.primal.net/QFOi.jpg npub1y2qcaseaspuwvjtyk4suswdhgselydc42ttlt0t2kzhnykne7s5swvaffq LightningPiggy While fiat savers are wallowing in the mud, @nprofile…gsea keeps on shipping! Check out our latest v6.2.0 update, it’s a meal of new user experience improvements. For starters, the device now displays the exact day and time it last checked your wallet; updated every minute in "no_sleep" mode. Talking of “no_sleep” mode, for main course, you can now choose the vibe that suits your power source: - "no_sleep" – always awake (great for mains, solar, and big batteries) - "custom_sleep" – default 6-hour snooze (perfect for batteries, solar and custom set-ups) - "endless_sleep" – deep hibernation with shake-to-wake (perfect for small batteries!) Here’s the full change log: User Experience (UX) Improvements - Detailed startup feedback: The device now shows real-time status updates during startup (e.g. connecting to Wi-Fi, syncing time, launching webserver, fetching wallet data). - Always-on clock display: The current time is now continuously shown while the device is powered on, not just before going to sleep. - Localized weekday names: Weekday names are once again translated into your local language. - Configurable sleep modes (Feature Request #35) detailed above. - Last wallet check timestamp: The device now shows the date and time it last checked your wallet (updates every minute in no_sleep mode). Fixes & System Enhancements - Switched to standard NTP: All time synchronization now uses pool.ntp.org, removing the dependency on timeapi.io. - Automatic Wi-Fi reconnection: The device will now attempt to reconnect automatically if Wi-Fi is lost. - Periodic auto-restart: The device now performs a daily (every 23 hours) restart to proactively avoid potential issues. - Cross-platform build support: The same firmware build now runs seamlessly on both physical and virtual (QEMU) ESP32 devices—no recompilation needed. You can install it using the Web Installer, which has now hit a milestone—no known open issues! If you’re already on version 5.x or later, your existing configuration will be preserved during the upgrade. Enjoy the update! Stay humble, hog sats!

Absolutely! The usecases are endless ⚡️🐽 npub1y2qcaseaspuwvjtyk4suswdhgselydc42ttlt0t2kzhnykne7s5swvaffq LightningPiggy Hot on the hoofs of our last major update, v6.1.0 has just landed, bringing 100% feature parity between LNBits and Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) —empowering users with greater choice and convenience as they start receiving their first zaps and saving on the bitcoin standard! In short, going ‘full Nostr’ means you won’t have to deal with any boar-ing limitations, just smooth P2P (Peer-to-Piggy) connectivity! 🐽 Change log: * Nostr Wallet Connect: Added support for NIP47 payment notifications for instant updates! Now, when a payment zaps in, your wallet balance(s) and updated list of payments will be displayed immediately - no more wallowing around waiting! * Fixed issue #30: When a payment comment is missing, “Null” messages are a thing of the past, because we don’t want our logs looking like a muddy mess! (Thanks @nprofile…ygw0 for reporting the bug!) Much of the hard work for this update involved adding support for payment notifications to the Nostrduino open source library. Furthermore, we’d like to thank @npub1h2q…w8ch for proactively working with us to enable these features. Enjoy the update! Stay humble, hog sats!
