Episode notes

InSATgram is a showcase that lets you buy and sell images powered by the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Like Instagram but with sats.
Check out the showcase on https://insatgram.getalby.com !

Users can upload images, add a Lightning Address and receive payments directly from other users. The platform can verify the payment and deliver the image to the payer without ever touching the payment.
Set a budget in the Alby browser extension and enjoy browsing with one-click payments.

InSATgram is built on
- LSAT: Lightning Service Authentication Token
- LNURL: Lightning Address
- WebLN: The Lightning Web Standard for programmatic interactions between a user´s wallet and a website.
