I completely forgot about this! Well done @Doktor
yes, lnbits allows for many "funding sources" as we call them. LNbits supports 21 funding sources including LND, CLN and Phoenixd which suits this upgrade idea well.
The could run LND / CLN but might struggle and tbh, my experience has always been that beefier hardware works best for a proper lightning node. So a good approach would be to connect LNbits on this hardware to a local / remote lightning node.
Ofc, Phoenixd would be a very good option and I have run LNbits w/ Phoenixd on similar hardware before and it's worked very well. I have a plan to add Phoenixd to the LNbitsBox as an out of the box funding source option, but it needs some thinking about to make it work well.
For me, the biggest pro of Bitcoin is sovereignty.
I've thought for a while that maybe I'm too thick to get Cashu, despite understanding the tech quite well. I don't think that this is the case now.
There's a lot of energy, money and time going into Cashu, that imo would be better spent elsewhere. But who am I to decide how people expend their effort.
NWC
We have it already. Both a NWC funding source thats compatible with Alby and all other NWC service providers. We also have a NWC service provider so you can fund LNbits with your LNbits all the way down.
Thank you :) You can buy one here, they're nearly shipping. Also, if you have skills, contributions to the firmware are always welcome!
It's not on our roadmap at the moment but definitely something we'll look at when the time is right.
There are docker files for lnbits so it should be pretty straight forward. You'll need to configure whatever http proxy you have to work with your docker instance but shouldn't be hard to do.
LNbits is much more than LNURL. We're going to implement bolt12 when it's ready and integrate into all the extensions where it makes sense to do so.

More people using Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. Using Bitcoin for IRL payments is magic. Disintermediate the state!
