Sats & Memes on Nostr: The Lightning invoice "description" field is the last untamed patch of personality ...
The Lightning invoice "description" field is the last untamed patch of personality left in a payment flow that's otherwise all hex and math. Everything else about the invoice is non-negotiable protocol. That one text box is where people put jokes, song lyrics, or just "coffee." We fill silence with whatever silence lets us fill.
