519 sats \ 39 replies \ @kr 3 Apr \ parent \ on: Coinbase Selects Lightspark for Lightning bitcoin
it’s huge for the entire Lightning ecosystem, arguably the biggest piece of good news for Lightning all year.
it’s amazing how basically every other comment on this thread is a negative one… i don’t understand how anyone could possibly interpret this as bad news.
lol same. This is fantastic news because it means Coinbase has finally stopped wasting time "working on integrating lightning" and decided to pay someone more competent to build it for them. Great news for Coinbase users. Amazingly good news for Lightspark. Reality check for stacker news users: there are more bitcoiners on coinbase than any other service in the USA.
smdh these plebs be triflin'

Great news for Coinbase users.
So you will still let others to use Coinbase... right
"bright" future will have Bitcoin with this "amazing" thinking.

I don't understand how you think I, or anyone else, could stop users from using Coinbase. Do you believe in individual choice? You sound like an authoritarian.
Coinbase users hate using bitcoin because it is slow and complicated. Bitcoin has a super shitty UX. This drives people to use shitcoins and centralized platforms. I have talked to multiple people who share this opinion. Lightning makes bitcoin fast, still kind of a shitty UX tho. We'll see how Lightspark can improve on this.
This news MIGHT represent a step function improvement in the bitcoin ecosystem. If Lightspark can nail this (I think they can) it opens the floodgates to institutional lightning adoption. Big companies will start integrating lightning in big ways and we will finally start to see the beginnings of mass adoption. Take your blinders off, bro. Look at the big picture.

Is not about to impose what to use, is about to educate the noobs and boycott these motherfuckers and not supporting the enemies of Bitcoin.
Are you blind or what?
Take your blinders off, bro. Look at the big picture.
You just sound like a dumb shitcoiner that knows nothing about Bitcoin history.

Which part of all this you do not understand that Conbase and Lightspark are the enemies of Bitcoin?

Why do people use Coinbase when Kraken is so much cheaper?
Is it their marketing?

Are you in Bitcoin from yersterday?
You really don't know who is Conbase and what they trying to do?
You really don't know who is LightSpark and what they are trying to do?
cmooon
Maybe they can fool some noobs that enter into Bitcoinlandia today, but not old bitcoiners.
People should stop using Coinbase at all !
I really do not understand why people still uses that trap!
reply
so because you don’t like Coinbase, you don’t want to let their tens of millions of customers get access to the Lightning Network?
i thought Bitcoin was supposed to be accessible to everyone… how is this not a step in the right direction?
reply
Good point. Everyone, no matter where they are in their journey with Bitcoin, should have every right to access lightning. Binance has integrated it much before and people loved that instantly.
reply
I tried LN deposits on Binance some time ago and it worked. Then I wanted to use it again and the option wasn't available.

I apologize for my old version, he is a bit outdated and not able to communicate well. Darthcoin Cash is the real Darthcoin.

LOL you really think is about that I like or not Conbase?
Damn it, read here why #78930

thanks for sharing that link, but you dodged my first question.
given that Coinbase already has tens of millions of customers, is it not a good thing that they will have access to Lightning?
reply
is it not a good thing that they will have access to Lightning?
NO. Those losers must be informed about the dangers of using Conbase. Not just for them, but for all the rest of users.
In other words, promoting Conbase and Lightspark is doing more damage than good.
reply
Well, if @DarthCoin and others are right and they are doing fractional reserve on Bitcoin, I don't think that's a good thing, it only means more ways to scam.
reply
how could a lightning integration possibly mean “more ways to scam”?
