[thomasbnt]

The specification was changed in June 2023:

• Old address : $wallet.example/alice
• New address: https://wallet.example/alice

__

• Before <meta name='monetization' content='$ilp.example.com/alice'>
• After <link rel="monetization" href="https://ilp.example.com/alice">

Official doc about this update from June 2023

A new version of the Web Monetization specification was published in June 2023. Users of the previous version should be aware of the following:

• The previous version only used Interledger’s Simple Payment Setup Protocol (SPSP). The new version uses Open Payments.
• The element is deprecated in favor of the element.
• The element does not support the shorthand form of a payment pointer (e.g., $wallet.example/alice). You must use the endpoint URL that the payment pointer resolves to (e.g., https://wallet.example/alice). If you need help converting a payment pointer from shorthand to its equivalent URL, enter your payment pointer into the input field on paymentpointers.org. In most cases, you can simply replace the $ with https://.
