71 sats \ 3 replies \ @TonyGiorgio 14 Jun \ on: Lugano Trip Report culture
Will be going to Lugano later this year, thank you for this report.
How has your experience been here? Are the payments quick enough for the in person merchant experience?
Big thank you first for the work you are doing with Mutity Wallet!
Most payments I had where in the 5-10 chf range (8k - 17k sats) and it took maybe around 3-4 seconds to confirm in my wallet and another 3-4 seconds to confirm in the merchant's terminal. I found that quite competitive with other payment methods.
The largest payment I had was around 90 chf (150k sats) and it took around 30 seconds in mutiny wallet and then another 15 seconds to confirm in the terminal. Since it was at a restaurant table, it was not an issue time wise and it was a good opportunity to ask the merchant a few more questions. However I see how it could annoy some people in a lineup scenario.

Thank you for that info! You said you're using the federation part exclusively? Do you know which federation you're in? I can ping some of them to open up some channels to the Lugano folks. If you happen to have any invoice from any of the merchants, I can look into the lightning node destination and get them connected.

Yes, I made all payments through the freedom one federation. I have left Lugano by now, but I can send you some of the invoices I used that day.
I don't see any private message function here, so I will contact you through nostr.
