Lightning Payments ("Boosts")

[atdrago]

Running a node is probably impractical. Seems like LNPay is the best way to go since they run their own node(s).

Method A

• Each user would be able to create their own Pod Monster wallet within the app. This means persistent user accounts are necessary since wallets are per-user and must be persistent since wallets are "expensive" (LNPay only allows a finite number of them to be created).
• Users would need an existing Lightning Network compatible wallet outside the app (BlueWallet, Wallet of Satoshi, Muun, etc.) Probably best to recommend non-custodial wallets for this use, but there is a list here: https://lightningnetworkstores.com/wallets
• Users can fund their Pod Monster wallet using an invoice generated from LNPay.
• Once a user has funded their Pod Monster wallet, if they "Boost", funds are taken from their Pod Monster wallet and distributed to each of the addresses in the episode's value block.

Method B

• Pod Monster has one wallet.
• The user presses the "Boost" button and fills in a field for how much they want to boost.
• The user is presented with an invoice for the amount of satoshis, from the Pod Monster wallet
• The user pays the invoice
• Once notified that the invoice is paid, Pod Monster splits up the amount and sends to each address in the value block
