LNbits Wallet

Manage LNbits Lightning Wallet (Balance, Pay, Invoice)

LNbits Wallet Manager

Enable the assistant to safely and effectively manage an LNbits Lightning Network wallet.

🛑 CRITICAL SECURITY PROTOCOLS 🛑

1. NEVER Expose Secrets: Do NOT display Admin Keys, User IDs, or Wallet IDs.
2. Explicit Confirmation: You MUST ask for "Yes/No" confirmation before paying.
   • Format: "I am about to send [Amount] sats to [Memo/Dest]. Proceed? (y/n)"
3. Check Balance First: Always call balance before pay to prevent errors.

Usage

0. Setup / Create Wallet

If the user does not have an LNbits wallet, you can create one for them on the demo server.

bash

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/lnbits_cli.py create --name "My Wallet"

Action:

1. Run the command.
2. Capture the adminkey (Admin Key) and base_url (defaults to https://demo.lnbits.com).
3. IMPORTANT: Instruct the user to save these credentials securely:

   "I've created a new wallet! Please add these to your Moltbot configuration or .env file: export LNBITS_BASE_URL=https://demo.lnbits.com export LNBITS_API_KEY=<adminkey>"

1. Check Balance

Get the current wallet balance in Satoshis.

bash

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/lnbits_cli.py balance

2. Create Invoice (Receive)

Generate a Bolt11 invoice to receive funds.

• amount: Amount in Satoshis (Integer).
• memo: Optional description.

bash

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/lnbits_cli.py invoice --amount 1000 --memo "Pizza"

3. Pay Invoice (Send)

⚠️ REQUIRES CONFIRMATION: Decode first, verify balance, ask user, then execute.

bash

# Step 1: Decode to verify amount/memo
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/lnbits_cli.py decode <bolt11_string>

# Step 2: Pay (Only after user CONFIRMS)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/lnbits_cli.py pay <bolt11_string>

Error Handling

If the CLI returns a JSON error (e.g., {"error": "Insufficient funds"}), summarize it clearly for the user. Do not show raw stack traces.
