Zaplocker.com: Non-Custodial Lightning Address Server with Base Layer Support
Zaplocker lets you have a lightning address where the server doesn't have your money and you don't need to run a node.
- "Zaplocker.com: a non-custodial lightning address server (no node needed!)," announced Super Testnet.
- "Zaplocker supports zaps. If you add your zaplocker address to your nostr account, people can zap you on nostr-based social networks."
- "Oh yeah and you can also use it so people can zap you at normal bitcoin addresses (no lightning wallet necessary) -- with no address reuse!"
- "Zaplocker is free and open source software. You can run it yourself to provide users of your service with a lightning address without taking custody of user funds. The zaplocker name as well as the software is fully released into the public domain, with no rights reserved."
"If you're a developer, go hog wild! Make it your own! Do it your way, with your own spin, on your own server!"
How it works
- "Zaplocker takes my old hodl contracts idea and applies it to lightning addresses."
- "A user creates an account with zaplocker by logging in with nostr and choosing a username. When they log in, they -- in the background -- create a bunch of lightning payment hashes and share them with the server."
- "The server then shows the user their lightning address and a "pending payments" dashboard."
- "To settle on lightning, the user must create a "custom lightning invoice" whose payment hash matches the one held by the server. Few lightning wallets let you do this, but LND does."
- "To settle on the base layer, the user must say what bitcoin address they want their money to end up in. The user will then coordinate a submarine swap with the server."
