If someone isn't on SN, but I want to share the sats from a post, it would be great to be able to forward it to their Lightning address.

When nature looks like a painting

Super exciting to see a company working on Fedimint. From what I understand, the Fedi company will be working on an end-user wallet that can point at whatever fedimint deployment the user wants. So you can have a local community bank, or an online bank in your discord group, or whatever you want. Fedimint is staying open source and other projects or wallets can be built on the protocol. 

Really excited to see what this group comes up with!

Hey Stackers,

We at Amboss Technologies are super excited to share something we've been working on: Ghost Addresses. This is our latest innovation for the Bitcoin Lightning Network, and we believe it's going to make a big impact.

**What's a Ghost Address?**
Imagine combining the cleverness of [Phantom Payments](https://lightningdevkit.org/blog/introducing-phantom-node-payments/) with the straightforward user experience of a [Lightning Address](https://lightningaddress.com/). That's what a Ghost Address is all about. It's designed to make receiving Bitcoin on the Lightning Network as easy as receiving an email.

**Why Does This Matter?**
For anyone running their own lightning node, Ghost Addresses are a game-changer. No more dependency on custodial third parties or needing a public Lightning Address server. 

**The Technical Stuff**
Ghost Addresses use Phantom Payments, a sophisticated routing technique that ensures payments are secure and efficient. You get a reusable address that keeps your transactions simple and straightforward. For a deeper understanding of Phantom Payments, check out this [LDK blog post](https://lightningdevkit.org/blog/introducing-phantom-node-payments/).

**Easy to Get Started**
Setting up is really easy. Just update to a Ghost-enabled version of Thunderhub (v0.13.29), claim your Ghost Address, and you're ready to start receiving payments directly to your node.

**Learn More and Get Started**
If you're as excited as we are and want to learn more, check out our detailed blog post: [amboss.tech/blog/ghost-addresses](https://amboss.tech/blog/ghost-addresses) and [ghst.to](https://ghst.to).

We're thrilled to bring this to the Lightning Network community and can't wait to see how you all use Ghost Addresses. Let us know your thoughts, questions, or any cool ideas you have!

Cheers,
Amboss Technologies Team

Wow, blast from the past.

I must protest your description: Fyookball's article is complete garbage. His model for the Lightning Network is nonsense and on basis of that non-existent foundation all that math is complete eyewash.

Please refer to the reply I wrote back then:
