Let me rephrase the previous statement that the other person made.
Very few entities of any important use the lightning network.
And by "of any important" I am referring to actual, real life merchants and point of sale devices.
Let me know when actual physical locations are accepting lighting transactions, in the same quality as however many merchants are on BitPay.
The whole point of this stuff, is to actually be able to buy and sell real life goods. And on that metric, the lightning network is indeed used by very few people.
I do, if anyone wants a 100 satoshis just paste your lightning invoice request below as a comment and I'll pay you 100 satoshis. (download the wallet of satoshi app)
I've been wanting to try this: lnbc1u1p0hphp0pp5dp6fyfuttast7jnxd2qf3sd2q7lwsw6xwsfr3ng5ajz3qfsajrzsdqqcqzpgxqyz5vqsp5pqzhlpxnlu86aa5g9rw6wwzddfwx9jex7enft689vxtu62n9f2rq9qy9qsq08ncw74lylcsy2ehn3ymfj4mfj667n0gnhgl8q6xsvyven77n67kvx3vga4v0c97cyatv292w3p5zagm7japmgvajtqezwy42j659mcpxnndzv
gotta close the channel with your own full node lightning wallet setup, or your custodial wallet. or collect enough sats to buy something from someone like bitrefill
Post an invoice of 1,000 sats here and I'll send some Sats your way.
