A simple web server for accepting lightning donations.
nanotip generates Lightning invoices on the fly using your Lightning Charge server,
allowing users to setup a tip jar that accepts Lightning Network payments.
Powered by ⚡ Lightning Charge.
Setup Lightning Charge, then:
$ npm install -g nanotip
$ nanotipd --charge-token mySecretToken # defaults: --charge-url http://localhost:9112 --port 9115
nanotipd running on http://localhost:9115Note that nanotip uses Lightning Charge's built-in checkout page, meaning that the Lightning Charge
server has to be publicly accessible to users. If users need to access it using a different URL
than the one used for communicating with the API, set --charge-public-url.
You can use --theme to pick a different theme from bootswatch.
