Bitcoin Lightning Payment Cards

Here you will find the most nerdish NFC link collection for builders, coders and bitcoiners in general. Join us on a deep dive into coding and building with NFC ⚡️

While the simple LNURLw voucher work with nearly every wallet out there

not all wallets support the boltcard service yet
