The End of Keysend: Transition to LN Address

The podcast discusses the critical shift in payment protocols affecting the podcasting industry. With the discontinuation of the Albi payment gateway, many podcasters are anxious about transitioning from Keysend to the newly implemented LN Address system. LN Address offers a more flexible means for creators to receive funds, allowing them to list multiple payment options rather than relying on a singular method.
