Bitcoin commercial adoption starts with Point of Sales systems and business owners waking up to having the option not to pay taxes and high fees.

Yea this part....back to BITCOIN and bitcoin accessories 😎
Square is the likely PoS to start this trend.
If someone cloned Toast PoS and made it invoices on the receipt instead of CC payments they would kill it
I think ZapRite is trying to do this at scale with LN capabilities.
Parker Lewis has a thesis that one of the next waves of adoption is going to Bitcoiner business owners preferring payment in sats. It’s a better / cheaper / no KYC way to stack. I think he might be right. Remains to be seen if ZapRite gets it right.
I'm literally writing up exactly that in the payments policy for my prospective egg business. Eg
"6000 sats or 4€. Please note the EUR price is 15% higher in real terms, due to the extra expense and friction dealing with the bank.'
That's my story and I'm sticking to it
Fuck yeah, this train don’t stop. I started accepting Bitcoin in 2023 and I’m so glad I did.
How does this #Amethyst inline lightning invoice generator stack up for simple POS business use at a market, say? IE if you paste the following into your lightning wallet, does it generate an invoice for you showing a kilo of potatoes with a ref number( for my bookkeeping records) and the amount (10 sats) for you to pay?

Seems like that worked fin for me using a Chromebook and a browser based lightning wallet, so I' say it works pretty universally 😃
Unlike my new keyboard 😞
I can't pay myself. Can you post a screenshot of what you see on the invoice. I'll pay you back. cheers Thsts assuming your keyboard can prompt a screenshot haha
Sorry the final screen disappeared to quickly after payment but this is the last one I caught.
This was the transfer screen just before it.
Oh I can go back and look at receipts in the history, so here it is. I use Speed wallet because it lives up to the name. I'm sure they all work the same way.
I don't think you can pay yourself!
A shame the note is scrambled, otherwise that definitely would do the job for a simple invoice.
I think it appears that way in all LN Wallets I've tried. Isn't it because it's not actually a record of the payment going through the blockchain, but rather a promissory note that it will be bundled into some future blockchain payment between the two holding wallets? I have a vague recollection of reading that somewhere. I think that might be how all off-chain payments work, give or take
