I'm in New York State and trying to get some #bitcoin on the #lightning network.

I've tried multiple ways to do this but every way ends in the provider not being able to do this in NY State (on the up and up). I gave up.

I've recently been talking with people interested in #bitcoin and wanted to just send them some on the lightning network to keep them interested but keep hitting walls.

Does anyone have ideas on how to do this? This is the most frustrating thing.

This might be over simplifying it but….. did you try a VPN? That’s how I got past registering my identification with the feds, just VPNed to Canada and BSed credentials.

I ended up using a website to transfer BTC to the Lightning network... it worked great. The site is on this thread somewhere.

I think NY State has special rules about exchanges to purchase crypto. I was trying to use the exchanges but the exchanges that can handle crypto in NY don't do Lightning.

NY claims to want to protect the consumer.... I guess they forgot about their lotto machines.
