Can we use lnurl-auth instead of normal user registration with username and password?

https://github.com/btcontract/lnurl-rfc/blob/master/lnurl-auth.md

It looks interesting, improves UX as you don't need to manage another set of credentials for a website/app and I had used it in a test website: https://etleneum.com

This is currently not implemented, and it is unlikely that we will implement it, given that the registration mechanism is currently here mainly to ensure that usernames are uniquely assigned. In the future, we hope that the communication will be done p2p and thus there will be no need for registration/authentication anymore.

That being said, the code for the server is available here and if you're motivated to implement it I'd be happy to review it and include it in our deployment if it works.

Sounds good

I will try. Thanks.
