I got a message asking if I officially sent the first Bitcoin via lightning network over ham radio with my zap to nostr:nprofile1qqsvyv8d6dx2tjp33069j2kq2mx7xage6w2upyzvxl4pcegt3t22wyspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qfqwaehxw309ashqmrpvdjkjmn5dpjhxatw9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz78tw7lf.

I think this is the first zap for sure on ham radio, but it very wellight be the first LN invoice to ever get paid using only ham radio too. I know on chain has, and cashu has.

But I am unsure on LN payment. Maybe the community can chime in if anyone has a note, or tweet, or video on someone sending sats this way.

Thanks!

Iirc, NVK was the first lightning over ham person, but I sure hope I am a little part of the first lightning over nostr over ham transaction with you 🥳 I don't even know which note you zapped, but thank you! It's an honor!

Hmmm, interesting. He sent on chain for sure, years ago. I am not aware of a LN transaction.

It also would have likely been fully online on both sides, where as HAMSTR is offline on one side.

I'll look around. Thanks!

I'll look around too, when I wind down for the day.

This was what I had read about. There's a bunch of radio talk in the linked Twitter thread that I don't understand but you probably will. One immediately special thing I notice about your send, was zero coordination. You totally took me by surprise! I'm glad I happened to be scrolling aimlessly at that moment. I saw the incoming notification from Minibits but no Nostr notification so I had to check it out. The attached message was perfect! I was shocked & impressed.

Lol! I need test notes, so.... Tag, you are it

😂 here for it

And yes, that's because note zapping isn't working yet, lol. So it just zapped your profile instead.
