**Any Clover merchant can now enable payments over the Lightning network**

Jack Mallers and Strike have launched a 90 day pilot program with Clover to bring Lightning payments directly to Clover Point-of-Sale terminals.

During this pilot, merchants need to email partners@strike.me to get started. After the pilot is over, they'll launch in the Clover App Store, integrating directly with all clover merchants.

*This would enable Lightning as an accepted payment network for all Clover merchants by default, sitting next to card networks like Visa and MasterCard.*

Once merchants see how fast, simple, and cost effecting Lighting is, they're going to want to jump on it. Once they know what we know...

Gradually, then suddenly.

Meanwhile at Strike... 🦗 👀

Dammit. I meant to say meanwhile at Square. Fuck. I must be tired. Goodnight.

We should organize meetups at places that use Clover. We might persuade some coffee shops to implement it if we bring dozens of ride or die freaks with us.

my sister's boyfriend owns a cidery. they accept clover. i will be asking him this week to join the pilot program.

Let me know what he says. 👍

This is brilliant for supermarkets and other narrow margin retailers where customers don't value or use the consumer protections of credit cards.,.

Moving from taking cards to taking Lightning, a 1% saving at the till could be a 10% gain in gross margin!
