Amboss launches Ghost address to support direct, self-hosted Lightning Network payments

Amboss Technologies, a provider of Bitcoin Lightning Network payment solutions, has launched “Ghost Addresses,” a new type of Lightning Network address that enables users to receive payments directly into self-hosted wallets, avoiding reliance on the currently dominant custodial wallets. Users can receive funds directly to their own self-hosted Lightning node via a personalized Ghost address ([email protected]) without the need to run a separate Lightning address server. The process is done using virtual payments and does not require any additional node permissions. . Amboss added that Ghost addresses are compatible with any Lightning Network implementation through API integration with the Lightning Network. However, the only client that currently supports Ghost address payments is Thunderhub, which is implemented using LND. (The Block)
