LNbits ====== [![github-actions-badge]][github-actions] [![codecov-badge]][codecov] [![license-badge]](LICENSE)  # LNbits v0.1 BETA, free and open-source lightning-network wallet/accounts system Use [lnbits.com](https://lnbits.com), or run your own LNbits server! LNbits is a very simple Python server that sits on top of any funding source, and can be used as: * Accounts system to mitigate the risk of exposing applications to your full balance, via unique API keys for each wallet * Extendable platform for exploring lightning-network functionality via LNbits extension framework * Part of a development stack via LNbits API * Fallback wallet for the LNURL scheme * Instant wallet for LN demonstrations The wallet can run on top of any lightning-network funding source, currently there is support for LND, CLightning, Lntxbot, LNpay, OpenNode, with more being added regularily. See [lnbits.org](https://lnbits.org) for more detailed documentation. ## LNbits as an account system LNbits is packaged with tools to help manage funds, such as a table of transactions, line chart of spending, export to csv + more to come..  Each wallet also comes with its own API keys, to help partition the exposure of your funding source. (LNbits M5StackSats available here https://github.com/arcbtc/M5StackSats)  ## LNbits as an LNURL-withdraw fallback LNURL has a fallback scheme, so if scanned by a regular QR code reader it can default to a URL. LNbits exploits this to generate an instant wallet using the [LNURL-withdraw](https://github.com/btcontract/lnurl-rfc/blob/master/lnurl-withdraw.md).  Using **lnbits.com/?lightning="LNURL-withdraw"** will trigger a withdraw that builds an LNbits wallet. Example use would be an ATM, which utilises LNURL, if the user scans the QR with a regular QR code scanner app, they will stilll be able to access the funds.  ## LNbits as an insta-wallet Wallets can be easily generated and given out to people at events (one click multi-wallet generation to be added soon). "Go to this website", has a lot less friction than "Download this app".  ## Running LNbits locally See the [development docs](docs/devs/installation.md) for details on installation and setup. ## Tip me If you like this project and might even use or extend it, why not [send some tip love](https://lnbits.com/paywall/GAqKguK5S8f6w5VNjS9DfK)!
