Alex Bosworth: LNURL payment flow reduces latency noise for point of sale metrics
LNURL reduces point of sale latency

Alex Bosworth, head of infrastructure at Lightning Labs, explains that implementing an LNURL flow for payments at point of sale offers the advantage of reducing latency noise in pathfinding metrics.

He notes that it can be challenging to accurately measure how long it takes for customers to complete payments, unless there is a careful isolation from invoice creation to settlement time.

Bosworth has previously raised concerns about external threats to Bitcoin, noting the risks posed by potential cryptography bans and the impact of enforcement costs in a recent interview. He has also commented on the surprising lack of Bitcoin awareness among highly educated individuals, emphasizing that many rely on anecdotes when evaluating the cryptocurrency’s benefits in a separate discussion. These perspectives inform his ongoing work on payment infrastructure at Lightning Labs.
