Wallet of Satoshi Is Doing 30,000 LN Payments/Day \ stacker news ~bitcoin

Wallet of Satoshi just topped 8,000,000 LN payments to date.

It’s pretty incredible to see how quickly they’ve gone from making 10,000 payments/day to over 30,000 payments/day.

It took 3.5 years to get to 10,000 payments/day, and then only 6 months to triple that number.

Gradually, then suddenly.

But... nobody is using Bitcoin 😂😂😂😂 It's a scam.

nostr/zaps blew up in DEC and JAN/FEB respectively

i think most people over-estimate the effect of nostr on these numbers. THNDR Games alone is responsible for 6k-7k WoS payments/day.

yes but thunder games has been around for over a year, i know they add games here and there. but the numbers line up with nostr/zaps

THNDR Games released new games in Sept 2022 & Mar 2023, both months represented big jumps in WoS numbers.

Not saying there is no Nostr impact, just that people over-estimate it.

That's very cool. We must be getting close to the point where daily LN transactions exceed on-chain transactions (of which there are ~300k / day).
