0 sats \ 0 replies \ @tobiTCOIN 1 Oct \ on: L402 vs x402 bitcoin
Besides x402 being for shitcoins it might be appealing to some.
What I found:
- from my understanding, x402 seems to be easier to integrate because coinbase basically handles the blockchain, money, ... connection. In L402 you would need a running lightning node, correct?
- the stablecoin focus seems to be interesting too e.g. for micropayments in journalism I don't expect widespread lightning usage and paying in sats yet
- this cloudflare support might also improve adoption https://www.cloudflare.com/press/press-releases/2025/cloudflare-and-coinbase-will-launch-x402-foundation/
- this x402 Bazaar could also drive adoption https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/x402/bazaar
Where do you see L402 needs to catch up? Do you agree with my spontaneous list of advantages in terms of adoption of x402?

anyone interested in building a learning project together? We could start to create those guides. I'm not so experienced in the javascript stuff ... most of the time I struggle more with configuring and integrating things, not with the lighting related stuff.
liked this one a lot ... made a little video about how to get it running https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE3OK3oqDc4 and another one how to extend it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSZcjoyI_9c
haha ok keep your tilde... if it's just a few selected special chars that's easy - but I have seen terrible stuff in the past in some projects... so that's the standard recommendation.
1.3) It's not really a high prio task.
In general all the ideas are just written down while randomly checking stacker.news...
1.1) + 1.4) and in general things to reduce "not really relevant URLs from search engine user's perspective are good ones to start with. 1.7) too
And maybe as a first step to become more news like offer not just "link" and "discussion" but also "article" with maybe min. 200 words. title. description. image, ... (need to look up in detail what's needed)
