How to Set Up and Use Reusable Payment Codes (LNURLs) on Fedi

Reusable payment codes (also called LNURLs) let you receive Lightning payments using a single QR code or text string that you can share anywhere. 

Unlike one-time payment requests or traditional Bitcoin addresses, your reusable payment code works across any Lightning wallet and never expires. 

Anyone with a Lightning wallet can scan your code or paste your text string to send you a payment instantly into the federation of your choice. 

This guide walks you through how to set up your reusable payment code on Fedi and shows you six practical ways you can use it today.
