Core Lightning support? #3827

Detailed Description

I am currently getting "into the game" of Zapping and using Lightning and Bitcoin in general. One of the things that I was missing is a Desktop wallet; which is how I came across this one. Upon installation, the app shows me the option to configure an LND node. However, I only have CLN.

So, simply put, I would like to ask if it was possible to support CLN in the future. :)

Context

Currently I am trying to make CLN work for Nostr zaps and while I am also struggling on the mobile side with Zeus - which isn't showing me any values for my balance - I would love to be able to also manage my funds as well as do actual payments using a desktop wallet.

Possible Implementation

Currently, there seem to be three "APIs" that can be used with Core Lightning (CLN):

  • Sparko (which runs as a plugin) by fiatjaf
  • spark-wallet (which runs as an independent process)
  • C-Lightning-REST which uses an entirely different set of API endpoints compared to Spark and Sparko.

Since I am still learning the ins and outs as well, there is not much I can say about their respective compatibilities, sorry. But I would assume that you would have to implement the APIs of either of the three, allowing LN-Zap to manage a CLN node, so I would be able to see my funds, and do the invoicing and payments.

Your Environment
