This includes #7573 and #7683, and some clean-up commits.

Support for paying to "lnurl-pay" is added to the Qt and kivy GUIs.

"lightning address" (LUD-16) support is not added for now, mainly as the email-address-like format is ambiguous and cannot be distinguished from e.g. openalias.

Unlike in a previous version of this PR, in the Qt GUI, the network requests are not done on the GUI thread, instead they are async and use qt signals.
Re the kivy GUI, they are still running on the GUI thread and blocking the GUI. This can be fixed later or as a follow-up.

Re Qt paytoedit specifically, it seems hard to have good UX.
There are design questions, such as

  • re user typing into the field, how do we know they are finished - e.g. when to validate the text or do network requests if needed
    • we could wait until the text field loses focus
    • we could start a timer on textChanged(), i.e. do network requests if user hasn't typed for e.g. 1 second
    • maybe add a dedicated button...
    • this PR takes the following approach:
      • add param to check_text to toggle if network requests are allowed ("full check")
      • every 0.5 sec, if the textedit has no focus, do full check
      • on textChanged()
        • detect if user copy-pasted by comparing current text against clipboard contents,
          if so, do full check
        • otherwise, do partial check
      • on clicking ButtonsWidget btns (scan qr, paste, read file), do full check
  • note that "openalias" ids and "lightning address" ids can both look like email addresses and hence can collide. how to handle this?
    • we give priority to "lightning address" and do network request for that first
    • if that fails, we do "openalias" network request
    • "lightning address" support is postponed for now

  • lnurl

* bundles all payment identifiers into handle_payment_identifier
* adds lnurl decoding
* adds lightning address decoding
- add param to _check_text to toggle if network requests are allowed ("full check")
- every 0.5 sec, if the textedit has no focus, do full check
- on textChanged()
  - detect if user copy-pasted by comparing current text against clipboard contents,
    if so, do full check
  - otherwise, do partial check
- on clicking ButtonsWidget btns (scan qr, paste, read file), do full check
@SomberNight SomberNight changed the title add lnurl-pay (LUD-06) and lightning address (LUD-16) support add lnurl-pay (LUD-06) support Jun 29, 2022
- in lnurl.py, make request methods async
- in Qt GUI, lnurl network requests no longer block the GUI thread
  - but they still do in the kivy GUI
- "lightning address" (LUD-16) support is removed for now as the
  email addresses are indistinguishable from openalias email addresses
  (both protocols should have added and enforced a prefix, or similar,
   to remove this kind of ambiguity -- now we would need to make a
   network request just to identify what kind of ID we were given)

probably got disabled in or around #7839 by accident

Probably got broken in #7839 ,
which got released in 4.3.0, ~7 months ago.
As no one complained, this really again raises the question of removing openalias...
