interesting, so this sounds more like a perception problem than a technical one.
when you’ve chosen to pay with bitcoin outside of el zonte, what are the odds that the payment is successful on the first try? (i.e. the merchant knows what bitcoin is, has a lightning pos ready to go, and the payment confirms right away)

I agree that education is key here. To that end, the community work being done by the Bitcoin Beach Hope House is incredible. Lessons in bitcoin, leadership, English/Spanish, computers, surf/swim/bodyboard competitions with real community festivities. I have a lot of respect for their work.

It's always been easy and fast. The merchants seem to almost all use either Chivo or the Galoy Bitcoin Beach wallet as far as I've seen. I've been using Muun as a simple hot wallet. It's what I use to onboard new bitcoiners with, FWIW.
