Twitter is working on the ability to receive tips in Bitcoin
- clpm4j 5y agoHmmm I wonder what percentage of BTC owners want to give their BTC away?

- qecez 5y agoI'm a Bitcoiner and am tipping sats (1 sat = 0.00000001 BTC or $0.00049) left and right. Here's 50 sats https://ln.cash/ogFZFxSbJCjuCDZQ3L2rR6 https://ln.cash/ogFZFxSbJCjuCDZQ3L2rR6
- rfd4sgmk8u 5y agoThank you for the 50 sats! Some time ago I made some LN tx's to get the Blockstream stickers but have not used LN on mobile. I scanned this with ios BlueWallet and now i have $0.02 sitting in my mobile wallet! Flawless. Go lightning network!!
- rfd4sgmk8u 5y agoBouncing the 49 sats back to the next Lightning Network user (ln tx costs 1sat)! https://ln.cash/mEPAXiWRc6hwoSL8Vkojo4 https://ln.cash/mEPAXiWRc6hwoSL8Vkojo4 In order to claim this, install BlueWallet and scan the QR code. The unfairly cheap transaction is almost instantaneous.
- qecez 5y agoTo clarify, that's ln.cash-es service fee. A 50 sat micro-transaction between two decently connected nodes would be completely free of charge. There's plenty Zero Base Fee nodes (mine included) that make that possible: https://lnrouter.app/graph/zero-base-fee https://lnrouter.app/graph/zero-base-fee
- clpm4j 5y agoPoint taken! That's certainly cool to see.
- pcdoodle 5y agoThat is so cool!
- sizzle 5y agoCan I do this with eth?
- bob229 5y agoThe beautiful union of two utterly pointless technologies that no one has ever needed
- serverlessmom 5y agoGenuinely unclear why Twitter wouldn't be setting up fiat currency tipping first. If much smaller operations can set up creator funds/tipping, is there a reason Twitter seems so hesitant?
- rfd4sgmk8u 5y agoBitcoin is the native currency of the internet. It is the most sensible currency to use. It does not require interfacing with the banking system.
- xur17 5y agoMy understanding is that this is just another provider being added to their existing tip jar [0] feature. They essentially let twitter users link out to their third party cash app, paypal, venmo, etc accounts, and people can use those third party services. This is really no different - they are linking out to Strike, a custodial lightning wallet.

- qecez 5y agoA shame really, they could've supported it natively and all it would have taken is a few dev-hours.
