Unlocking Bitcoin Payments with open standards like Nostr Wallet Connect

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Nostr Wallet Connect works as a simple, implementation‑agnostic bridge letting mobile wallets control remote Lightning nodes; Zeus and Stacker News already use it to let users bring their own wallet for in‑app payments and subscriptions. Adoption contrast: roughly 40–50 Bitcoin Lightning apps versus 4,000 Ethereum dApps, so open standards matter. NWC proves snappy and reliable compared with Tor or Lightning Node Connect, needs careful spec parsing (permission strings, receive vs send credentials), and can extend to Bolt12, channel ops, or podcast/video zaps.
