Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
Version History
- Updated documentation to clarify that payment must use a BOLT11 Lightning invoice. - Removed Alby CLI–specific command from payment instructions for greater wallet flexibility. - No functional changes to the API; update is documentation and setup related.
What This Skill Does
LNemail provides anonymous email accounts via the LNemail.net API, paid for with Bitcoin Lightning Network transactions. Accounts cost 1000 sats per year and require no identity verification or existing email address. Sending emails costs ~100 sats each; receiving is free.
Unlike temporary email services that block signups or expire unpredictably, LNemail accounts are API-accessible, last a full year, and have no KYC requirements.
When to use it
- Receiving 2FA codes during automated account signups
- Getting verification emails without linking personal identity
- Sending agent-to-agent notifications over email
- Receiving Bitcoin and Lightning Network service alerts
- Creating throwaway email addresses for service registrations
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: set up an anonymous email and retrieve the first 2FA code
- 1POST to /api/v1/email to create an account and receive a payment hash
- 2GET /api/v1/payment/{hash} to retrieve the BOLT11 Lightning invoice
- 3Pay the invoice using a Lightning wallet and poll until status is 'paid'
- 4Save the returned email address and access token to ~/.lnemail/credentials.json
- 5GET /api/v1/emails with Bearer token and return the subject and body of the first message
2FA code extracted from the email body, e.g. 'Your verification code is: 123456'
