My experience paying with lightning at Steak N Shake.
1719 sats \ 13 comments \ @AJ1992 14 Jun lightning
Today I got to use Bitcoin lightning in person at a local steak n shake to pay for my food. It was mostly seem less, but I did have a small issue. Both my Rizful cloud node and Zeus didn't like the QR code Steak N Shake provided. Rizful told me the invoice was expired and Zeus wouldn't even register the QR as a lightning invoice. So, I had to move my sats from Rizful to my bittip telegram lightning wallet and pay to the QR code invoice from that wallet.
Nonetheless, a mostly seem less experience as when the Bitcoin was sent it was immediately registered by steak n shake within literally one second and my receipt was printed.

I love both. Bittip and sats.mobi are both lightning telegram wallets that you can export to Zeus or anywhere that supports LND importation. They are run off the old lightningtipbot user interface but lightningtipbot shut down a couple years ago. Nonetheless it's a great starter wallet for anyone looking to get into lightning. And the capacity is very high I've moved over 2m sats through bittip telegram wallet without issue on one transaction before.

telegram tip bots usually last 2-3y in my experience lntxbot and ligthningtipbot were great but shut down, will give these shot! If the uiux is the same even better now we just need it self custodial so it lasts longer :) Have a link for bittip couldn't find it thx

I wasn't the biggest fan of lntxbot as there were always liquidity or routing issues getting Bitcoin out. Have never had that issue with bittip or sats.mobi

Strange my own embedded Zeus node can read the invoice efforlessly, as well as my LND node remotely controlled through Zeus.
