40 sats \ 10 replies \ @eluc 18 Jul \ on: Is Bitcoin Lightning feasible for contactless retail payments on the go? bitcoin
Check: BTCpay server, LNbits (PoS extension), merchant app like SwissBitcoinPay and the Boltcard standard.
All of this exist and is happening today, maybe not near you but in Lugano Switzerland a lot of merchant accept Bitcoin Lightning (thus their system is not comptabile with contactless boltcards. Also in El Salvador, in some places, you can use Bitcoin. Their are many communities, check the map on btcmap.org and try paying at a merchant or get a boltcard and test yourself with breez or another compatible app.
Unfortunately, I live in a place where most people do not know what Bitcoin is, and the "educated" say it is a scam/not real money. Despite many bank closures & insane inflation recently haha.
Thank you for the information, since Bitcoin Lightning implementation is spreading to smaller places, I can only hope that by the remainder of the decade, we integrate LN- BTC here.

LN- BTC
Please stop saying that, is wrong. Only shitcoienrs use that term, trying to give the impression that there's a different bitcoin than BTC. There's ONLY ONE Bitcoin.
Bitcoin over LN (Lightning Network) is just bitcoin, nothing else.
Bitcoin onchain = the vault, the long term holding, your bank
Bitcoin on LN = the payment network, your spending pockets, your daily spending.

Where do I imply that there is another Bitcoin? The hyphen exists to indicate it is a different layer, similar to how others differentiate ERC20-USDT or BEP20-USDT.
I use that term for convenience, and it is also how a lot of others I know use it. Not a single one of the people have misinterpreted it as an altcoin.
I would also suggest you to be a little less aggressive next time, if a Bitcoin beginner got this as a response, they would likely start to develop a "hate" against Bitcoin.
You have been the first person to be this mad about saying LN-BTC instead of "Bitcoin Lightning". Convenience is an issue eh đ

Theyâre the ones who lose with all that whining.

while true, I do think it's more productive in trying to be as "forgiving" to any newbies as possible rather than pretending like it's a very simple concept and it is their issue for not getting it by their second week.
Vocal minority. The ones who whine make up a big "voice", whilst the stackers usually do not want to participate in random social drama. Waste of time. I try to look at the bigger picture here

Youâre whining over a correction made by a very dedicated user who has several guides about Bitcoin. If the general public canât handle a simple correction like this without whining, then they wonât learn anything.
Aggressive? LOL I start by saying the word "please"...
You really do not want to see me mad.
Nowadays people are so delicate pussies that get offended by the word please ...

You are not flexing or cool when you say "You do not want to see me when I'm mad" đ
