I hope LN can grow to be a viable solution, but it's def not there yet. A bigger concern for me is - the vast majority of people just don't care or even think about monetary technology. It's like that old joke with the fish asking 'how is the water today?' and the other fish replying 'what water?' - most people don't even think to question the money, they think it's something fixed like gravity or the kilogram, so it's very hard to get people to realise it's even something worth thinking about...

Right. I see this also here in Europe🤔 🙈 Apropos about LN, how did you create that nice email address or LN address, whatever it is, CasaDeSatoshi@stacker.news?! And how do you use it? Thanks.

Not sure tbh, maybe it's an old feature? I'm guessing it was auto allocated when I made this profile? I've never logged in to any email server under that address.

Casa Satoshi is my business in San Cris, Chiapas. You can find us on Instagram if you wanna see more about who we are and what we're about 🤗

I've cheched my profile and I got also a nice but useless email address teodor@stacker.news... I don't understand why these devs are creating such useless email address... 🙈

I tried to send emails but it doesn't work, but it has to be good for some reason... 🤔

I will check your business on insta! :)

It looks like an email address, but it's a lightning address. You can use it to receive sats.

I want to send sats from my address teodor@stacker.news to your address clr@stacker.news :))

Right, but still nothing happens with it if you don't know the way to use it for sending sats... If you know tell me how, then give me your address and I will send you some sats! :)

I ve tested email, so it doesn't work, so I don't get it what's good for...?! 🤔 🙈

There, I sent you ten sats from my own wallet, you should see a notification, and you never had to give me an invoice.

It's a Lightning address. You send money there.

Instead of doing the whole invoice thing, just write the address and how many sats you want to send (of course this has to be done from a Lightning wallet) and the wallet linked to that address will receive the sats

I am trying to send you back sats, but nothing works in this mess... Looks like LN is for people who have time to learn abracadabra techie rules, man... 🤔 🤕 🙈

Sorry, but I give up trying to use these nonsense, but will continue to read, comment, and push the spark found on the left side of these comments! Of course, when I like the text.

Thanks for trying to help me with this techie mess. All the best!

Try using Breez, it's non-custodial and it simply works. That's the wallet I sent you the sats from.

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @teodor 15 Feb

I've installed Breez then tried to move some sats from here to the wallet. The ugly surprise, the fee is the same with the amount to be moved, so I want to receive 3000 sats and the fee is 2926 sats... 🤔 🤕 🙈

Channel opening fees, they cost whatever the mainchain fees are, imagine that you move your Bitcoin to a locker where it can not interact with other lockers.

It's a little complicated to tell you the truth.

If you don't mind having your sats on LN custodied by someone else, download Wallot of Satoshi or Speed, the are custodial but you won't need to do the whole opening channel thing.

In any case, that's nonsense, charge greater fee than amount you send... 🤔 🤕 🙈

Breez. OK, let me try. I tried bitcoiLi, but it keeps saying me about a kind of invoice, which is stupid, I don't need any invoice...

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @pakovm 15 Feb

Lightning works via invoices, but some wallets (most of them actually) support LN addresses, in the case of Breez, you simply write the LN Address as if it were an invoice and that's it.
