I'm not a buyer with Bitcoin because there are hardly any merchants here who accept Bitcoin.

Orange pilling and showing others how to use lightning if that counts!

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @AG OP 21 Oct

It definitely counts! What's your strategy and tools to succeed?

Speed Wallet seems to be a good starter. It’s custodial and super easy to use and set up. How about you?

Bought a Proton visionary plan for the year. Well worth it! I really like proton and i did it mostly to get access to proton wallet. Still have invites available if any stackers want one.

REMINDER:

For all stackers! If you went to a merchants and paid with Bitcoin and also you had somebody else taking a video of the moment, please send me the link to the video (nostr / twatter / whatever) and I would like to add this list of examples in real life, paying with bitcoin. https://darth-coin.github.io/merchants/bitcoin-lightning-payments-irl-en.html

You can send me also the raw video and I could add it online, or you can just use https://nostr.build for short videos. Add some details about the shop if you like.

Let's show the world that we are living using Bitcoin!

no need to see your face, we are focusing only in the payment method in real shops, brick & mortar.

That's a great idea. Do you have already a repository available? Will be nice to know which wallet/POS have been used in both merchant and customer side.

I bought a tap signer card, and sent some sats thru lightsats.com to orange pill someone.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @AG OP 20 Oct

lightsats.com

It's a great way to orange pill newbies! How did it go? Succeeded?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Slestak_Jack 20 Oct

Yes, sort of. I called him and told him to got to coinos.io which I really like for its simplicity and browser based function. It's now my go to. However, it's not intuitive to receive from an invoice. He had the QR code which he copied from Lightsats, but he couldn't just paste it into the receive field on coinos. So he ended up downloading Breeze, and I sent him more sats to his username. The bigger picture is that he's very interested in Bitcoin as money, and also as tech.

I think for some people you go backwards, start with the layer 2 and show the tech with NOSTR and Stacker.news etc, and then give them some references for understanding the principles of money.

I bought this! It was also part of the Geyserfund. All you need is an old Game Boy console.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @AG OP 20 Oct

I did check it and had no opportunity to try it yet! I guess the sats there aren't real ones... it would be great if they maybe integrate ecash that can be redeemed also offline.

Ivpn. I really really liked the fact that I could pay with bitcoin lightning. not just on-chain. Big up to them for that.

21 sats \ 8 replies \ @AG OP 20 Oct

Still need to test this. Thanks for the reminder

Glad to have that side-effect I recently bought a second hand Pixel 7 and installed grapheneOS on it. I think Ivpn came preinstalled but in any case i paid with lightning. On-chain btc and Monero were also among the options if I recall correctly.

0 sats \ 6 replies \ @028559d218 20 Oct

buying a pixel with btc would be awesome. where are you able to do that again, if you don't mind me asking?

There's @shopinbit that does just that #673616

Thanks. Reading about them now. It would seem they cater mostly to the EU. Cheers

I used a website that aggregates second hand offers that is used in my region. If you search engine "second hand website [your country or region]" you may find similar websites.

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @028559d218 20 Oct

Interesting thank you. Although being a security-focused device, I'm not sure I would go second-hand in that case

New though definitely!

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @orangecheckemail_isthereany 20 Oct

Seems to me you may think I paid for the Pixel with bitcoin. Just noticed that. I paid for the Ivpn vpn provider with bitcoin lightning. The Pixel I paid for with cash.

As for your concern about second-hand: As with everything there's trade-offs. I judge the chance that the guy who I bought it from was a malicious hacker to be negligable. Wish I could place bets on that. If he was I'm not sure how much he might have done that wouldn't be wiped by the process of installing grapheneOS and wiping what was on there. Would be interesting to read about that but it would be more of an academic sort of curiosity.

California pizza kitchen gift cards.

And minted nuts 🌰

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @DarthCoin 20 Oct

Is that pizzeria ending up with sats or with fiat? Because if you bought just some other fiat cards, it doesn't count, you were going back to fiat and that merchant is never onboarded into Bitcoin.

gift cards are shitcoins.
