~lol one can read between the lines, this is not Lightning, is Lightning-fast. Posting here because I think merchants should be aware of the difference between the two.

This is not even Bitcoin anymore.

I don't understand the post? Everything on our platform is Bitcoin. We're working on adding in Stablecoins via Taproot Assets and we've added better USD on/off ramping. Everything in transactions Bitcoin over Lightning. Nothing has changed on that. This is marketing jargon that got updated but doesn't change the what we we're doing of bringing Bitcoin to the world.

Thanks for jumping in and explaining what's under the hood. It's a relief to know this is just a marketing copy not reflecting what's written in code.

For some reason, I saw it related to payments implementations, something that could make merchants and business life easy to accept bitcoin. Or is this Payments product a simple way to providing Voltage infrastructure via APIs for developers?

Are you somehow planning to offer Payments as product that non-coders can use and implement in the future?

Voltage’s developer-friendly API handles nodes, liquidity, and scaling—so you don’t have to. With extensive documentation, you’ll have everything you need to integrate Bitcoin and stablecoin payments seamlessly

I am thinking they are using LND and probably using Taproot assets to accept the stablecoins

Or are they using spark?

I'd be not surprised if they do so

Yeah I think these companies get a lot of risk management advice from their lawyer and thus advise startups like voltage to avoid regulatory risk. Spark is the darling of huge money so I wouldn’t be shocked if startups start to implement it.

From one perspective is understandable, it will probably make things much easier for the business and its dev team not having to deal with all the infra needed to implement bitcoin ad lightning payments.

In the other side, I feel bitcoin ethos and values are thrown out of the window.

We're using Bitcoin, not Spark.
