I'm sorry for the bad copy/paste in the last email. Resending:
Hi,
I propose a new invoice pattern that contains a Bitcoin address for onchain
transfer.
Motivation: My dream is to have a portfolio that works in a totally
abstract and transparent way onchain and/or LN depending on the situation.
Phoenix wallet almost achieves this, but there is still a certain
LN/onchain distinction that confuses users a bit.
I use Phoenix daily. Today, for some reason, I couldn't pay a friend.
Payment failed in several attempts. It was not clear why. The fact is that
I managed to transfer to Breeze and then from there I was finally able to
transfer to the final destination. For some reason it had no liquidity on
the specific route. These exception cases greatly confuse the most
non-expert users. If, on the invoice my friend sent me, I had embedded a
Bitcoin address, the wallet could simply ask: "Couldn't send via LN, do you
want to send onchain at XPTO rate?"
That way, in case of payment failure, there is an immediate onchain backup
alternative, useful especially when rates are low, like now.
The format could be something like:
:::
Example:
ln:v1:bc1qucfe06nunhrczh9nrfdxyvma84thy3eugs0825:lnbc20m1pvjluezpp5qqqsyqcyq5rqwzqfqqqsyqcyq5rqwzqfqqqsyqcyq5rqwzqfqypqhp58yjmdan79s6qqdhdzgynm4zwqd5d7xmw5fk98klysy043l2ahrqsfpp3qjmp7lwpagxun9pygexvgpjdc4jdj85fr9yq20q82gphp2nflc7jtzrcazrra7wwgzxqc8u7754cdlpfrmccae92qgzqvzq2ps8pqqpq9qqqvpeuqafqxu92d8lr6fvg0r5gv0heeeqgcrqlnm6jhphu9y00rrhy4grqszsvpcgpy9qqgq7qqzqj9n4evl6mr5aj9f58zp6fyjzup6ywn3x6sk8akg5v4tgn2q8g4fhx05wf6juaxu9760yp46454gpg5mtzgerlzezqcqvjnhjh8z3g2qqdhhwkj
