We're continuing to build the Lightsats project 🚀 for the BOLT 🔩 FUN Legends of Lightning ⚡️ Tournament.

The team is all over the place, I'm in Miami 🌴 we got a member in Thailand and others in EU.

Project is coming a long well and I'm super stoked to be working on this, mainly because ever since I fell down the rabbit hole 🕳🐇 I knew right away I wanted to build something to help with adoption. But didn't have the technical background to start building something on my own.

So a magical 🧙‍♂️ moment happened on Twitter where a Bitcoin OG asked the community if anyone was building a solution to a problem he seemed to be having. "How can I gift sats to newbies without having to onboard them and also without losing them in case the person is not interested?"

That's when I decided to take on this challenge with our team and come up with something that us bitcoiners can use as a tool to orange 🍊 💊 tip/gift no-coiners with the reassurance that if the person does not show interest in learning or exploring the funds are recoverable, but in case they are how does the user self-onboards themselves to explore the possibilities of Bitcoin.

We're now in week 2 of the tournament and we cranked out a fully functional proof of concept here yet there are still many features that need to be added, one of the most important one is being able to login via LNURL-auth since we all bitcoiners care about privacy and don't want to give out personal information.

In case anyone wants to take it for a spin please do, but make sure you do very small amount of sats and also you can use a service like Mailinator to create disposable email addresses.
