Using the standard URI to facilitate #XNO tipping in Amethyst and potentially other clients
The standard URI that is interpreted as a nano address by programs such as the Nault wallet (in desktop) and the Natrium wallet (in the phone) is:
nano:nano_public_address
So, if you use this format in a field where a "website" link is accepted, someone clicking that link who has a wallet app installed will open their wallet with the nano_public_address as the recipient.
What this means is that you can add your nano address to your profile in the "website" field using this format, and it will provide a functionality similar to the lighting-network functionality that is already built directly into the some clients when visiting a user's profile. This does not work with every client, but with Amethyst + Natrium it works great.
This does not mean that you will be able to "Zap" using nano. For that, a new client would have to be developed. But this URI can be used to integrate nano tipping to an extent with minimal effort until more generalized clients exist that give us more freedom about the crypto currencies we can tip with, or until a nano-specific or maybe nano/banano client is developed.
If anyone does want clients that integrate nano or whatever their favorite cryptocurrencies might be, it is good to show some interest about Nostr integration in your community, and about your favorite cryptocurrency in Nostr. An interested community can be a good motivator to develop.
