I have to say the Lightning integrations at McDonald's and Startbucks work so extremely well it is scary.
Before going to El Salvador I was hesitant if we are at that level already, but we are!
¡el futuro está aquí! - as they say at bitcoin beach

Anyone out there who wants to learn some #Bitcoin #lightning development and wants to build a simple point of sale UI with me? only some basic HTML/CSS/JS is required.

I have a very similar feeling. not sure yet what to do (except opting out of anything german state related).
what do you do?

Are you running a WordPress website? we look for beta testers of our Bitcoin Lightning Plugin:
wordpress.org/plugins/bitcoi…
Help us to test the plugin and to allow all those WordPress websites out there to integrate Lightning ⚡️

didn’t some people just discover a huge mistake made by expert hedge funds and used that mistake - traded against it. couldn’t you even say it was basic math that the hedge fund got wrong?
and thus it is not reddit who destroyed those $, but actually the hedge funds?!

no big crying on stage and fancy marketing blabla announcements...
they just did it. <3
(if true, did not test it myself)
Today @PicknPay, one of the biggest retailers in #SouthAfrica, announced that they will accept #bitcoin payments via the #LightningNetwork in 39 stores.
During his visit, @bitsmit_ got the chance to test out the pilot via @vryfokkenou from @BitcoinEkasi.

couldn’t this be simply solved by letting in int. journalists? it’s Israel who prevents that as far as I know?

Hat er da wirklich das in seiner Bio stehen und schreibt dann sowas?
"Journalist & YouTuber | seit 17 Jahren Entwicklungs-, Not- und Flüchtlingshelfer als Ehrenamt | Aktivist gegen Hass, Hetze & Mobbing | Menschenrechte | M.A."
wie krass und traurig.

Built a personal Bitcoin⚡ payment page...for when your friends want to drop you some sats.
If BTCPay Server is just too much...super easy to deploy with only one simple binary.

eventually we will all be criminals. we will all be forced to rely on Tor and other privacy preserving, decentralized tools.
Sad thing is most people will not believe us until it's too late.
Censorship at the Government and ISP level is getting scary. I have just received a message from Telefonica that I need to close my #IPFS node because it connects to IPs related to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
WTF?

I can't believe that we came to a world where this is accepted to say. "[we] will have absolute control ..."
@therealkingonly this reminds me of your comment from our conversation: “Money is increasingly being used to enforce someone else’s morality on its users. With #Bitcoin, you cannot enforce your morality on another individual. It gives its users freedom.”

danke für die Analyse.sehr interessant.
wusste gar nicht wie krass das ist.
leider kann ich den französischen Report nicht lesen,gibt es denn Beweise, dass dass “Russen” sind. oder ist das die Vermutung weil ein Server dahin zeigt?
finde mit sowas muss man auch vorsichtig umgehen

How Germany saves the world climate:
my neighbors get PAID to put up e-car charging stations.
none of them has a car and the yard(not public accessible + actually too small for cars of today’s size) is currently used only to park bikes of 11 families. yay politics…

That's actually pretty cool:

Ich würde ja so gerne diese Hofgens und Herrmanns und Co. und ihre Ideen von Geld verstehen.
Ich weiß leider nicht ob ich nicht einfach zu dumm dazu bin, aber ich weiß, dass ich gerne Alternativen habe und deren "Geld" nicht meins ist. build alternatives! build #Bitcoin

The code to consume a L402 protected resource now fits in a tweet:
import { fetchWithL402 } from "alby-tools";
await fetchWithL402('lsat-weather-api.getalby.rep…',).then(console.log)
requests the resource, pays with webln and logs the response.

Bitcoin is more than just a digital currency. It's a movement towards self-sovereignty and a rejection of the colonialism that has oppressed so many for so long. #Bitcoin #SelfSovereignty #AntiColonialism

It's not that bitcoin and lightning is already confusing enough for users... now lightning addresses are no longer lightning addresses.
Users will not get it and complain that nothing works.

Lightning works so incredible well to access AI apps.
Here is a quick app that let's you generate images: make-me-an-image.bumi17.repl…
You pay a few sats per image with @getAlby to @kodylow's L402 protected image generation A and get some unique images.

what's your main criticism?
hope you're wanting to do that not only for the sake of criticising :) (but to improve on it)
most critics that I think you refer to are just shitposting (just as fanatics on all sides)

it’s bullshit and a not more than some PR.
they don’t issue new export licenses to some weapons.
but still deliver the issued ones and still allow new ones to be used in the west bank.

simple popup to ask me if I liked it and if I want to drop some sats.
