I think many of us are thinking the same thing: why do we need to rely on centralized DNS authorities for LNURL when we can do it just with npubs and relays.

Amazing new proposal LNURL over nostr proposal:

https://github.com/lnurl/luds/pull/203

Which is something I had though about in the past:

lnurl just requires a webserver that can communicate with the LN node to generate invoices on-demand.

Can't that in theory be done with a nostr client daemon that listens to certain events from a set of relays and replies with invoices?

My point is: can't we have an entirely DNS-free lnurl spec alternative that only uses nostr? We can call it lnostr or something.
