Re: You don't need a mobile device to make lightning payments
It gets even better. OP's giving an example where he has a specific amount to spend. Like he knows that there are things worth $10, $5, $1 at the store and he takes all of these in the form of qr codes. But what if you're going to a mall, ready to spend a few hundred USD. Are you going to print 3x 100, 5x 50, 10x10 and then juggle these bills around while the clerk scans? This would have to be the slowest and most annoying way to pay at a store. Only a true nerd would choose it.
well the OP hasnt finalised his idea and its not standard to LN
so the OP can edit his idea wherby the URI he creates also includes a prompt. so like where my post joked about x12345 being part of the paper QR code.. could instead just have the bit before the ?= as the paper QR code.. which once standardised could then allow the OP to verbally tell the merchant to type in a password into the prompt
like "x12345"(switch kettle on) but instead "jamaica512" which the OP programmed his node that morning to allow a payment of upto $600 if jamaica password is received. whereby the 512 is the actual amount below $600 he wants to spend.
or like i said before. he can have it that when he says "x12334" it switches on his kitchen kettle at home
